Think I Can

This status quo
You know, I'm growing sorely tired of the show
Inspired to gun fo' mo
Fired up, but my background is pretty poor
Got these skills,, let me prove I'm fucking ill
I've the will, to soothe your soul with the thrill
But still, they think I'm nothing but silly
Woah nelly, what a pickle, so unfulfilling
All I want is to switch this up
But the cost is sick, big bucks
I make this much, we call that stuck
A pleb is a pleb, watch as I rise above
They don't believe me
All they see is another leaflet
Another freaking kid without
A sense of what anything means and
Attention spans aren't exactly
Easy to capture, new problems to defeat
Out of reach, mixed emotions
All this work but results are slow, unfortunately
I have much growing before I can glow
But you know, patience is the virtue
Time dictates all flow

I think I can, I think I can
I know I will, I have to still
I will begin, my will is strict
This is my start, straight from my heart
I think I can, I got this plan
I know I will, I'm cold as steel
I will begin, will 'n' discipline
Because my start's my fucking heart

Locked loaded and out of control
Cocky bloated ego, at your throat
Stocked verbs and words to hurt your soul
Rocky roads, certain quotes, trigger, explode
Submit, you can't match this wit
Equipped with facts to strip emphasis
From statistics against these first ditch
Efforts to clip yours, so I can finally switch
Mine up and get whatever I think should exist
Fuck your politics, I'm coming as I see fit
Logic and dominance, just need to get rich
Then it's bombastic placement and my spirit
Can finally sit, still knowing my status is riveting
Ambition delivering, come hither and witness me
Simmer in these ideas, they simple and reasssuring
Time is ticking, it's lurking
Why the fuck isn't any of this working
Am I the jerk when my honesty hurt
What's certain is nobody is concerned
With my vision, I've developed it since birth
So unless I unearth a new secret, I am cursed
To be brilliant but submerged
In the rigid monotony, the sinister sin, regular
Nursing this verse over
I need the next chapter to bring me exposure

I think I can, I think I can
I know I will, I have to still
I will begin, my will is strict
This is my start, straight from my heart
I think I can, I got this plan
I know I will, I'm cold as steel
I will begin, will 'n' discipline
Because my start's my fucking heart

Firstly, never outshine the master
Disaster, worse than loving friends more than adversaries
Keep chatter to a minimal and speak understanding scarcity
Word is bond, that's facts, keep your confetti heavy
Enrapture the people
Help them capture their steady, momentum
Remain ahead and shed them if they can't accept lessons
Dependent on your strength, honesty constantly polished
Reveal only their appeal, good homies encourage speech
But remember, let them preach, crush em' completely
Should they be a leech
Live in the shadows, flash in when needed
Open minded, keep yourself surrounded by all kinds
Mind your manners, promises aren't worth your time
Be a chameleon, don't compromise with shallow wins
Mix in with the energy, be willing
When there's something worth sucking
Yesterday is old news, the future you is in control
Good riddance shitty you
Mix faith with action, long play for the greatest traction
Easy peasy beats strenuous sissy, set the table
Feed em all according to their programming
What food do they swallow without chewing
Play the part, know when to walk or talk, disregard
Whatever's not really smart, make passion your art
But in Rome, slow rolls to hit their mark
Flip up any script, but don't devalue your mission, your ark
Shallow is he who copies another's winning trick
Clip the wings of fanatics, give em the sting
Of feeling stranded, be a mirror, yo weaken their balance
Change is the name of the game, it's ok to be flawed
It's a patient pace, stop when you reach the gates
Assume nothing about who you'll be that day
Fear not, welcome to your own lane

I think I can, I think I can
I know I will, I have to still
I will begin, my will is strict
This is my start, straight from my heart
I think I can, I got this plan
I know I will, I'm cold as steel
I will begin, will 'n' discipline
Because my start's my fucking heart
