A Mic Life
Man, whatever your dream is, don't wait, believe in yourself, no matter how long it takes, keep
working, enjoy the whole thing, not just the finish line
I am falling down
I got the world on my shoulders
The world on my shoulders
I am breaking down
I'm crumbling slowly
I'm crumbling slowly
Everyday a man wakes up, gets up everyday in his pick up
Work sucks, but he never gives up
Is this the world that he dreamed of
Two kids to feed, a wife that he sees only in his sleep
Worked away dreams for what they need, but that ain't what it means
Provide everything if he told them what he needs
The world seems bigger than it seems, even if they lean
Still a team, sick of working for Steve
Jobs indeed, only gets to eat half of what he feeds
Had a wish he had to believe, a business of his he knew was a risk
So walking away from the job he gave, everything that he made
But he's done being a slave to someone else's way
Some would say he quit, but to him his life just begins
Left a job for a career, just started, but knew it was near
Cause you never work if you love what you endear
He faced his fear, where to start, knew it was here
Must admit, he didn't come out and rip
Had to work through it, but life gave him the grit to save it
Whatever your passion, you can make happen
For him it's rapping, everyone laughing
But he's no longer lacking, he started smashing
Now they're clapping, better than he imagined
His music was blasting, gaining traction
His message was captain, but he wasn't capping
Took his team to happen, he's ripping stages in life's phases
He gets to see his daughter's faces everyday, it's amazing
And it wasn't from taking, his dreams away that he was craving
He believed in himself and he wasn't mistaking
It was for never quitting when he felt like breaking
It was for never leaving when he felt like fading
For never stopping when he felt like laying
Taking his fears and facing, now it's his song and kids playing
The next generation he's saving, from the same mistakes he was making
Avoiding who he really was, he wasn't thinking much
It's not just him, it's us
Find who you are, not who you was
Ain't no such thing as luck, when shit hits the fan you adjust
Scared to be yourself, you must
In God I trust, you stay tough, that's when you erupt
No rush, but time there ain't enough
Once you start doing what you love
I'm traveling slowly, I'm traveling slowly, oh
I'm traveling slowly, I'm traveling slowly, oh
working, enjoy the whole thing, not just the finish line
I am falling down
I got the world on my shoulders
The world on my shoulders
I am breaking down
I'm crumbling slowly
I'm crumbling slowly
Everyday a man wakes up, gets up everyday in his pick up
Work sucks, but he never gives up
Is this the world that he dreamed of
Two kids to feed, a wife that he sees only in his sleep
Worked away dreams for what they need, but that ain't what it means
