They Say Never

Yeah
I want you to really, I want you to really look deep down
Look at the value that's all around you
Look at yourself
You're valueable

You never know your true friends until you go broke
You never know faith until you lose hope
You never know temptation until you say you ain't going back
And that's a fact
Keeping every word of your promise
That's a pact
More response, less react
Come against me while God got my back
And you going to need more power than a Tesseract
They say never say never, but they said never
I try to never say never, only plan better
Some may go through trash just to get treasure
So just turn your nevers into when ever
And you'll never have to worry about a rainy day
They never appreciate healing until the pain's away
Never felt a cold shoulder until the flame's away
They never appreciate life until it's taken away

You should appreciate
And don't complain
Because it's the simple things
That can change your point of view
Whether good or bad
Happy or sad
Underrated or the favorite
What you're facing
It's still all up to you

I never would've learned patience if it wasn't for
All of the clutter on the bottom floor
Never would've learned liability and assets
Or value if it wasn't for actions
See I was too cautious and never proactive
That was way too often and it was just backwards
Wanted to move forward, but always went backwards
Never would've known gladness if it wasn't for madness
Never would've known beauty if it wasn't for ugly
Never would've known a cushion if it wasn't for struggling
Never would've known respect if it wasn't for judgement
Never would've known justice if it wasn't for corruption
Never would've known creativity if it wasn't for hustling
Or wisdom if I ain't ever shut up during discussions
What's up with
All of the commotion and fussing
Remember the age old rule
Remain no fool

Now let me tell you something
I know we live in a world where people always try to downplay what you got going on
but don't you ever let anybody tell you what you can't do
Don't you let nobody place their doubts on you
Do you understand what I'm talking about?
See what yall need to understand, youngbloods, is that nothing is impossible
Impossible only means that I'M POSSIBLE! You know what I'm talking about?
That's some old school playa game right there, you better listen now
Because what I'm telling you is known to be true
It's done happened throughout all the annuals of time
People always done the impossible because they thought that they were the ones to get it done
Sometimes in this life, youngblood, I hope that you're listening
Sometimes in this life, it's not what you want to do
But it's who you become to get what you need to get done
Now I want you to hold on to that old school playa game
You only receive what you give in this life
Take advantage, sow good seeds, and reap a great harvest
Now, I ain't going to keep giving you this game for free
But this one here, this one here is all on me
I would like to thank the Creator for giving me the words to give to you
Bless you youngbloods, old school out
