Got this dream I'm chasing after
While my friends are getting Masters'
Thought the 9-5 life never was for me
I'm not hating, I'm just saying
I be grinding while they're playing
Because I'm climbing where they never dared to dream
Can't slip when I'm dripping motivation
Fade back or I'll leave you in the pavement
Take notes, I'm about to ghost, only giving the most
To the people I relate with
Can't have the guts, but no glory
Writing it into my story
Do this shit for real, no phony
They say good things come to those who wait
But the best comes when you step to the plate
No you can't fly high without a leap of faith
So I'm on my way, I'm on my way
I'm on my way, I'm on my way
Yes I'm on my way
Writing songs up in my bedroom
Like to think if I get real good
I can bring my art to life and make it last
Just a young man in my 20s
With my craft, I'm going steady
To the top, and ain't no way I'm looking back
Trust God, I'm believing in the process
On God, Ima finish what I started
Took time inside my right mind to find the right lines
And I'm spittin it regardless
Yeah, "Strive For Excellence"
That's the message and I ain't tryna flex
This degenerate shit's a thing of the past
And that's a fact
They say good things come to those who wait
But the best comes when you step to the plate
No you can't fly high without a leap of faith
So I'm on my way, I'm on my way
I'm on my way, I'm on my way
Yes I'm on my way
And when life decides to knock me down
Why do I know not to give up?
When the ones who doubt me lead with their hate
Why do I fight them back with love?
I'm just so damn grateful to be alive
In a time where I can be free
To be my own person
It fills me with purpose
They say good things come to those who wait
But the best comes when you step to the plate
No you can't fly high without a leap of faith
So I'm on my way, I'm on my way
I'm on my way, I'm on my way
Yes I'm on my way
