Ambitions (feat. J-Peace)

Uh. Neighborhood bike thief
The one I took chain loose
Trying get away
Dog snapping at my ankles
All day thugging
Got fat booty number
Beat my moms home
Doing homework under covers
Uncle said, "you be doing knucklehead shit"
My cousin said, "you be doing knucklehead
shit
My mom said, "aht, don't make me pop you
Again"
I just wanna do hoodrat shit with my friends
Not having a father around yea that'll do it
I wondered why the fuck am i here?
I felt useless
That's why I brag about shit
That ain't bragworthy
Like rocking the new Al's
That match the jersey
And I just wanna make my mother proud
I rather be a founder and an owner
More than a rider
I don't just drive around
I got a destination
I hustle to the point of perspiration
Ambition

Some people have ambitions as a rider
But I be making moves 'cause I'm a driver
They try to play me low but I aim higher
And be a man my people could admire
Some people have ambitions as a rider
But I be making moves 'cause I'm a driver
They try to play me low but I aim higher
And be a man my people could admire

I used to lie awake in bed
Feelin' like I never did enough
Some people's cups runneth over
Mine is fillin' up
I went to school while my homies out there whippin' up
School of hard rocks
And the system try and trip you up
Tell you that an athlete or rapper-entertainer is the only way
You can ever be an innovator
Lemme give you a disclaimer
I'ma verbal gladiator, future lawyer-legislator
I'ma do you all a favor
When I rise to a level where the highs are more than treble
I'll defy all the minds that imply or deny
That I really ain't that guy
With the spirit of a rebel
Runnin' fades with the devil
I should really get a medal
I am not what you expect
Please respect my intellect
So you better come correct
And that means come with a check
I ain't settlin' for less
So if you want it, be direct
Conversations with my mirror
I'm the best I ever met

Some people have ambitions as a rider
But I be making moves 'cause I'm a driver
They try to play me low but I aim higher
And be a man my people could admire
Some people have ambitions as a rider
But I be making moves 'cause I'm a driver
They try to play me low but I aim higher
And be a man my people could admire

Here I go for adolescence
I was told I was I was blessing
I was precious as a stone
Later on alone reflecting
On the message n that setting
It was was said
And the reasons I was told
I was told be better go two times
Harder than go
Never sweat in silk hands on the wheel
Eyes on the road Its imposter in potholes it's Impossible to know
On the way you gone see hate In different places that you go
Be warned u wasn't born
With the protection of complexion
Yo melanin unsettling
You settle in
Keep yo blinders
Follow signs until it's time
Lock the doors don't let the devil in
Roger that. then watch yo back
Like television... cause they'll
Run u off the road fa the recognition
Detour thru thief lawyers n politicians
Be sure if you reach for it trying to kill you
I'm trying to steer ya...
