Honest Take

They told me I should take the easy way out
Sometimes I really feel em how this dream playing out
I work hard, but nah that ain't enough sometimes
Can't tuff it out each the world start playing rough with mine
I said
You either rise and you shine
Or get left in the dirt let's keep it real if we gon grind
Ain't the safest route but lord knows that it's mine
I might not die a legend but I won't go without trying
Yea

I told my mom I'll have 6 figures before leaving college
I ain't sitting in these classes just to reap some knowledge
My mind different been diamond I just ain't been polished
I know I'm a star but want the whole world's acknowledge-
-ment
And maybe that's a curse
That mindset took my light and let depression get it first
The devil talking to me contemplating what I'm worth
But can't sell my soul for nothing cause thats priceless on this earth
Wanna talk about some real shit
Brothers shooting brothers, mothers crying, yea that's real shit
Look at us dying by our own hands I know you feel it
And they egging us on we look away tryna conceal it
Damn
Brother tell me what's a man
If he can't put his wants aside to provide for his fam
Leaving sons and daughters crying now they growing up hurt
Then they grow up and they repeat it cause they don't know they worth
And people say that they want change
But they actions say different
Girls will say that they want love get it and they start acting distant
I wish that I could understand but I don't
People operate through fear but on my life I won't
These bold claims from a young man
But when I picture it I swear it looks like God's plan
