It's ironic that they talk about me, now I made it
The same ones hell bound, always gettin' faded
Can learn a lot from your mistakes and familiar faces
Too many snakes, I see Medusa, soon as I awaken
We makin' major moves, I'll do it independent
Just like the swine flu, you know my shit contagious
I made 5k last week, invest it back
Into the bidness, 'til I'm ancient, like an artifact
You better chase your goals, the clock is runnin' out
But also, have a balance don't ever lose ya'self
I was kicked, I was down, I had no one's help
I was bullied, so depressed, wanna end it now
But, I remained calm, and made it through the storm
Do not comply to conventional, I hate the norm
Don't ever let nobody tell you that you cannot make it
I'm livin' proof, I get paid to give some inspiration
We could chill for the weekend
We ain't worried 'bout tomorrow
Compare me to the Tin Man
'Cause, my heart is way too hollow
Growin' up, I was dirt poor
Momma told me, "Go to college"
I dropped out, to be a rapper
Now, my life is freakin' awesome
There's no limit, when you get rid of your alter ego
I had to pay the price, overcome a lot of evil
Roll the dice, took a gamble, but there's no casino
I'm only here to leave a legacy, like I'm The Beatles
I'll take a hiatus, I do not mind waitin'
I'm gonna sellout these arenas, on my grind, baby
You don't wanna get inside of my mind, lately
It's dark and scary, I'll provide, there's no time wasted
On the road to glory, I'm here to tell my story
Could write a book, from all the data that I am absorbin'
I guess, it pays to pay attention, now I'm payin' homage
To all my haters, sayin' music wouldn't be my callin'
I never got straight A's, in my senior year
But now, I'm flyin' so high, like a rocketeer
I've been ridin' solo, only God, I fear
Let's have a toast, to the fact that we still here
We could chill, for the weekend
We ain't worried 'bout tomorrow
Compare me to the Tin Man
'Cause, my heart is way too hollow
Growin' up, I was dirt poor
Momma told me, "Go to college"
I dropped out, to be a rapper
Now, my life is freakin' awesome
We could chill, for the weekend
We ain't worried 'bout tomorrow
Compare me to the Tin Man
'Cause, my heart is way too hollow
Growin' up, I was dirt poor
Momma told me, "Go to college"
I dropped out, to be a rapper
Now, my life is freakin' awesome
