Persevere

Boy you'se a fool if you thought I was giving up
Just had to readjust my dreams wasn't big enough, yeah
Just close your eyes and start breathing when it get rough
You only need to start kneading when it get tough,
Chasing the dough, tryna taste it like a savory roll
Visions of greatness thats the dream im waiting patiently for
Tryna buy me a new life cause it aint safe to be broke
Just gotta learn not to take detours on the way to the store
I know you can get weak in the the limbs but baby just hold on
The curtains is rising just a minute until the shows on
Cause You been waiting so long, your limbs beginning to grow strong
Strong enough to fight them chilly nights without your coat on
Feel the nippiest breeze as it whips cross your face
But the cold feel more like comfort when you begin to embrace
Most the times cant see the finish when you entered the race
Just remember to keep the faith and remember to keep your pace
Bet them visions of gold can make you smile
Wan see my mama face she say baby just make me proud
Make me proud lil baby just make me proud
And please do not give up even though it may take a while

You'll never learn to heal scars if you never bleed
You'll never learn to fix your broken heart if you never grieve
The nightmares in the dark is just fears played out in your dreams
If you never cry and scream your lungs wont have the strength to sing
And you cant skip the steps if you really wanna careen
From the bottom to the top gotta go through the in between
The ancestors of old gifted you a soul with some wings
And that just means that you got victory written inside your genes
Fell out the tree I had to learn how to fly
Spread my wings then muster up a little courage then I
Get to flapping then it happened started surfing the sky
Steady climbing til I finally reach my purpose in life
So imma keep on holding on as I work to provide
A little burst to quench the thirst that you can gurgle inside
And maybe find a lil relief from all that burdens my pride
Til' I can smile as I lie up in the hearse that I ride
