Niggas frontin' so I'm coming back Spittin' that shit that had Pookie doing jumping jacks Getting money when you was watching Thundercats We not the same; my lifestyle ain't come from rap Until recently, instinctively I must adapt The bars are hard but I'm easily crushing tracks Even elite rappers fall back when Cory rap Truth is spoken; you can't ignore the fact I'm vocally gifted; the confidence is obvious I'm showing you glimpses Growth of potential require total commitment Those that say I don't come around, I'm home with my children On some real shit I'm no longer dealing And I don't fuck with anyone showing resentment Can talk that shit walkin' I'm focused and driven In life nothing is given so I'm going to get it I'm a different pedigree poetically Those who momentarily slept You just encouraged me to take it to a level rarely seen Apparently rappers lack the intensity that you presently hear from me It's a unique ability to speak with sincerity I'm deep with lyrics giving the streets clarity Lack of patience will have you catching cases And when you free, resiliency converts negative energy to inner peace Enables me to realize I'm blessed to be able to live successfully On something that was just a dream yesterday Tomorrow wasn't promised but I'm here today Which illustrates how far skill will take you If you got the will to make it to the realm of greatness Can be reached through dedication And desire inspired by deep determination Keeps me motivated like faithless motherfuckers Praying I don't make it cuz they ain't eatin' and tasteless Rappers be hatin'; I'm creating like Anthony Mason And if you waiting for me to fail You have to be patient; I lack limitation I can turn a bad situation to rap innovation My pen advances the paper; enhancing my way up Life I'm actually grateful I made it 'Cuz scheming away a situation aiming for greatness is a journey not a destination Preparation is what separates me from those with self-doubt and reservation Should know hesitation delays elevation And shows why they never made it Let me explain it Dedication is a measure of strength and character Like a diamond pressure can't break me
