Imagine

Imagine everything you ever wanted coming to you two fold
Imagine they all respect you now cuz you too cold
Imagine when them girls wouldn't give the time of day
Now they tempt you simply tryna take your life away
More distinguished more to lose yet more to prove
Reminisce when I was younger had a shorter fuse
Now we hire private chefs when we order food
In hindsight realizing that your the mood
Paid all sorta dues personal professional
Been betrayed my heart in pieces like a sectional
For me to move now you gone have to move the decimal
Instead of being criminals my click is incredible
I'm only human so don't put me on a pedestal
I done made mistakes things that I said I'd never do
But what I never did was let up on this revenue
Driven by the fear of failure hard work led em to

Success ain't for the faint of heart that's true
I'm forever grateful for the struggle I been through
I imagined it and made it so
Made it out self made that's the way to go
That's the way to go
Success ain't for the faint of heart that's true
I'm forever grateful for the struggle I been through
I imagined it and made it so
Made it out self made that's the way to go
That's the way to go

Imagine being told you was lesser from those hired to teach you
Imagine how much harder it makes it for them to reach you
Truthfully tuned em out I just started ditching class
Made up my mind apparently I had a different path
Dabbled into the street life studio would be next
Unconventional is how I reached the road to success
Now
Imagine what them same teachers would say nowadays
I'm better at their job then they are I know how I to save
Half a million last year and I ain't struggling a
Shout out to my classmates still juggling weight
Didn't pass algebra I guess I didn't need it long
Them run on sentences turned into my favorite songs
Changed the future for my kids and they kids too
I say it cuz overachieving's what I did do
Blessed I'm breathing my experience I live through
Through ups and downs my reality I give you

Success ain't for the faint of heart that's true
I'm forever grateful for the struggle I been through
I imagined it and made it so
Made it out self made that's the way to go
That's the way to go
Success ain't for the faint of heart that's true
I'm forever grateful for the struggle I been through
I imagined it and made it so
Made it out self made that's the way to go
That's the way to go

Now imagine if all the hate was support
Would I still have this chip on my shoulder to push me forward
Would I still be relentless in pursuit of my dreams
Or would complacency be chasing me and my self esteem
Gimme a false sense of making it perhaps I'd relax
Maybe I wouldn't be so quick to brush it off and come back
Maybe my surroundings ain't effect me at all
Never caved to peer pressure not influenced by y'all
Maybe destiny exists I'm an example of that
Maybe I'm blind to the fact we all under attack
I don't cater to authority I measure my moves
Don't seek or need attention you don't like me I'm coo
Don't seek or need attention you don't like me I'm coo

Success ain't for the faint of heart that's true
I'm forever grateful for the struggle I been through
I imagined it and made it so
Made it out self made that's the way to go
That's the way to go
Success ain't for the faint of heart that's true
I'm forever grateful for the struggle I been through
I imagined it and made it so
Made it out self made that's the way to go
That's the way to go
