Beat The Odds

Uh
Look, I be thinking bout ridin' in a black Jeep
Track meet driving through them blocks where they taxed me
The city is mine I'm hoping they could catch me
Cause in these black streets no loyalty where them cats be
You working hard suit and tie just for the hire
And when it's all done you throw them sneakers on the wire
Trying to acquire different mottos from the liars
Cut it off like pliers I'm gone get it ima fighter
And every single day I'm bumping Cold Hearted 2
Cause I remember days when I was cold hearted too
And who apart you I mean I got my momma too
And I'm just tryna leave a legacy that you could garner too
You could be my partner too and that's just something out the blue
I'm just giving you a chance just to make it out that zoo
See the Lord is my Shepard but I came out like a leopard
People tried to ball hard but I came through interception
You just gotta learn a lesson on the matters that was destined
And I'm destined for the greatness I could feel it dog I'm shaking
Pen pad and rhymes man I do it every time
Tryna stay up in my zone see I always had the throne

Uh, gun shots in the hood you gotta duck em' now
And they might not be for you but you can't trust them rounds
100 sounds they slammin' like Andre Drummond now
You see them coming round
Hope God is coming now
Pray to the Lord like I need to eat
Standing tall like Hasheem Thabeet
And ima king to be
And all my dreams to be
Gone help me lead in peace
Til' I'm at least deceased

Look, praying for my friends
Hoping they gone make it see that struggle when it ends
It's gruesome when it end
And its never for pretend
Lose it then you win my future bright so I grin
Knowing that my heart is the reason for where I been
What's a life without sin
Went from starving like Marvin to the chip game like Jordan
Got my mind racin' I was pacin' through the danger
Prestigious like the Lakers let it go just like a tanker
I got the talent so who backing me
But I had people say it wasn't gonna happen see
Even if I don't make money from this craft cause I was hungry
If somebody said they feel it you can't take nothing from me
This ain't the start to something special cause I been that
And I done seen hell others never could've been back
Uh, homie you feel that
I swear I'm the prophecy
And when I'm done they gone acknowledge me
