Veteran

Look
I put a plan to work
It ain't happen overnight
I had to plant it first
Believe in myself
My circumstances they was different
That was a war in itself
They hanging out
Up in the hood wid them bangers out
They got the young G's slanging now
But the ending the goal
Is to hope that we all make it make out
Please understand
That I grew up a lil different
I'm traumatized by the past
That make it hard to forget it
I really regret to admit it
I gotta let go, I know
The only way that Ima grow
But it be hard to move on
I really hate that I had to leave so soon

But Ian have a option
You ain't do nothing to stop it
That was part of the problem
I had to go

When I touch down in Texas
I ain't know what to expect
One thing I knew I was next
Run me that check
But then reality hit
I am not meeting J.Prince
Coincidentally how things change
Cause now I Rap-A-Lot
I really snap a lot
That Jefferson baby
Look at how far he got
I know you sleep
But I'm promise you I'm taking a leap
By any means
Never stop working
That boy a machine
Even when sleeping
I work in my dreams
It's just a routine
I remember days I prayed for this
Let's talk about dues I paid for this
Tey never been on no lazy shit
I'm proud of myself
I never gave up on myself
Yeah I was really determined
So many times I failed
But now I prevail
I'm really preaching a sermon
Won't nothing given I earned this
Ain't know what to do so learned it
I Got me a plan
Put the five words together
I really deserve this
God put me here for a purpose
It wasn't the easiest journey
I really maneuver with faith
And at times I confess I was worried
Now I cook wid da pot like I'm curry
I'm really a warrior
Ten years later I got my story out
This is not the same recording now
The feeling different this is glorious
It's bigger than big it's notorious
The sky's the limit
Is what I told myself

Cause Ian have a option
You ain't do nothing to stop it
That was part of the problem
I had to go

Chasing success I'm only trying to invest
Get it all right for my daughter
I'm really Bron James wid recording
Please hear me out
Cause this is important
I waited my turn the virtue is patience
I got more done wid less on my plate
What I say
I got more done wid less on my plate
They gave me the straps
So I barely ate
I'm from the bottom I know you relate
My shot was off I worked on my aim
Fast forward time
Under my belt a couple tapes
Boy Ima great
Ain't no debate
Incase you forgot I had to update
I make a Mona Lisa when I paint
I'm really Shaq diesel in the paint
I'm really Basquiat wid this paint

I put a plan to work
It ain't happen overnight
I had to plant it first
Believe in myself
Now Ima veteran
I ball like a veteran
