10,000 Hours

Putting in my 10,000 hours
Becoming a legend, I ain't trynna be a coward
Got big plans, gonna make the world ours
Gotta eat dirt, before I smell the flowers
Putting in my 10,000 hours
Becoming a legend, I ain't trynna be a coward
Got big plans, gonna make the world ours
Gotta eat dirt, before I smell the flowers

I mean, what's a couple thousand hours in the scheme of things
If mastering your craft the only way you'll be a king
It's easily preferred to being the scenery
On the side the guy with a career that didn't mean a thing
15 minutes ain't enough
But all the pain it takes from us
Is a great illusion to just take the buzz
But just create the trust between your fans, don't fake and fuss
Just put your foot down and work, eventually you'll make the bucks
Once I started grinding I'm finding that upping my rhyming
Is bringing me the diamonds in the timing I need
Trust me, this the state of mind to succeed
Fuck cheese, your wrist can wait for diamonds, motherfuck greed

Putting in my 10,000 hours
Becoming a legend, I ain't trynna be a coward
Got big plans, gonna make the world ours
Gotta eat dirt, before I smell the flowers

10,000 hours trynna master this shit
Who rapping like this, the more time I put in, man, the faster I get
To where I wanna be having the hits too many classics to pick from
Imagine this
The more you learn, the more you earn
Touch the stove and take the burn and turn around and just flip the bird
Change your ways for the second try and then charm the third
Being good with words didn't come easy
Got to a point that I was done reading
Now every joint I have fun freeing
Flows from my head, and none weak see
I got that work ethic passed down from the greats
Mamba Mentality I do whatever it takes
Man, The Marathon Continues, 'cause I refuse to wait
I'm putting 10,000 hours in respect to who relate

Putting in my 10,000 hours
Becoming a legend, I ain't trynna be a coward
Got big plans, gonna make the world ours
Gotta eat dirt, before I smell the flowers
