I'm trying to get up out of these dreams make more realities Destined for success but often times it comes gradually Sometimes I get lost in my 9 to 5 like what is really my life Potential for greatness there but I'm wasting it though my eyes The people saying be patient Creating since my mid twenties A product of desperation and niggas not having money What do you do when you give your all and gain nothing from it The people around you eating Could care if yo ass hungry Shoe on the other foot you still given your last to em We all from the hood no neighbors was affluent Hard work some church and the rest is the lord doing Be a light to others watch blessings start overflowing Trying to improve daily a man I'm still growing I'm not perfect the lord is still working on me I got a purpose just wanna help my homies Just wanna love people better starting with my momma We give the power to the people believe it its ours Working for success takes thousands of hours And we ask and we ask for the strength that allow us The Power to Empower We give the power to the people believe it its ours Working for success takes thousands of hours And we ask and we ask for the strength that allow us The Power to Empower We're all born the same that's a close examination It's all relative on this race when they debating Or maybe you can dribble till your Spaulding gets deflated Chill up in that trap saying screw an education Or maybe that's a cop out Just wait for him to drop out And drop a few buns that a baby mama pop out They glorify the trap cause they trapped General consensus don't know how to act Taking out they own did with no honor If you don't do it for you do it your mama Do it for them shifts that she working Try to make your life as perfect Your all that really matter when she thinks about the earth and Hoping for the best pray her son has a purpose The greatest thing happen was the day that she birthed ya She gave you motivation on the days you couldn't do it Brought you back from sickness on the days you needed fluids We give the power to the people believe it its ours Working for success takes thousands of hours And we ask and we ask for the strength that allow us The Power to Empower We give the power to the people believe it its ours Working for success takes thousands of hours And we ask and we ask for the strength that allow us The Power to Empower Focus loss it tended to drifting off Tho intentions is infinite going in for this God giving from odd living Hard liquor check da heart in em Ain't at all giving shit how you start winning My pen in this business getting offended Um authentic injury's enemy had inflicted That's all business its at ah must I catapult from dat bama dust Um home grown so the grammar stuck Lack of trust keep the Hammer tuck It ain't enough I was up then shit outta luck Like what the fuck it I can truck it if I gotta force it Nike forces Through the gravel get shit outta faucets Got my sources for the fortune They'll pop ah couple now u an orphan Robitussin it can't do ah thing for this type of coffin It was often I see my niggas carried in those boxes From the toxins it's like with them um burying my options R I P We give the power to the people believe it its ours Working for success takes thousands of hours And we ask and we ask for the strength that allow us The Power to Empower We give the power to the people believe it its ours Working for success takes thousands of hours And we ask and we ask for the strength that allow us The Power to Empower
