The Solid Ground

Still never waste a day
How I feel depends on what I say
Got my eyes where the heavens be
It's all good there's a recipe
Damn was it all in the self-helps
Was it simple as a mantra
I would tell myself
Is it all so easy for the ones that made it
Since it ain't easy will I ever make it
I heard if it's worth it it's gon' bring some hurting
I heard if there's purpose gotta be for certain
I cannot tell you what I gave to surface
Listening to T.D. Jakes I need the sermons
Will I gain the love or will rejection hurt me
Will I take the failures let the judges curse me
Will I buckle down or loosen up the girdle
Lifting all this weight I need the strength like Hercule
Do they only follow me cuz they see successes
Do they really think it's easy wit all these people that left it
What about the ones that make it and then end up desperate
Do they see I take my steps wit a strong progression
Do they know I throw Hail Marys and then catch the blessings
Do they know I climb up hills for the thrilling sessions
Do they know I'll never fall my mind is high in heaven
Do they know I don't get weak and always keep the leverage
Did they know I stay consistent so I'm never second
Do they know if sport is fair I'm headed this direction
Do they know I got this far from never wasting time
Do they know I'll always grow and pray to be sublime

Still never waste a day
How I feel depends on what I say
Keep my eyes where the heavens be
Effortlessly good there's a recipe
Solid ass rook like the chess's piece
Damn why won't I run when it's stressing me
Lord only knows I bring the best of me
I will never quit it's a quest for me

Was it obvious I'd defeat my foes
Who surprised that rats and leeches rose
They wanna fight instead of reach their goals
They don't want what I got or want me to glow
They won't come for the top they want me to slow
It's been hard coming up let alone to grow
That consistency been paying I preach that for sure
All eyes on the future motivate the soul
Release my mind from cages
Can I really save it
Don't quote the negatives
Can I really fade it
Even when I'm hot
Are they gon' really shade it
Even when I'm not
Are they gon' really hate me
Reaching for the top
Is that really shady
Comin' from the indie
Will they really play me
Chest poked out
Do they think I'm crazy
Wit all this work done
Why they think I'm lazy
Why the path paved in gold
When I dream I'll make it
What's success to one man
To another's basic
Why the more I learn
The more I see the fakeness
Why do I evolve
To supplement the greatness
Why it ain't bout rap
But bout the one who state it
Why we gotta be perfect
When it's pain that made it
Why we always judged
But can't be a plaintiff
Why we know its Love
When you tryna hate it

Still never waste a day
How I feel depends on what I say
Keep my eyes where the heavens be
Effortlessly good there's a recipe
Solid ass rook like the chess's piece
Damn why won't I run when it's stressing me
Lord only knows I bring the best of me
I will never quit it's a quest for me
