Whistle on the Ladder

Nobody checked up on you in that minute, yeah, I get it
Well, this is me checking up on you, look where you headed
It's more important than where you've been
And where you at right now don't mean a thing
So don't you dare let them tell you who you are and who you ain't
All these colors in the world and everybody's choosing gray
They want you to do the same, they want me to do the same
But I'm like nah, I use their music to paint

I think it's time I let you know
That even though things seem to be moving slow
It's not the speed, it's the fact you're on the road
That matters, you're on your way
Homie, whistle on that ladder
I think it's time I let you know
That even though things seem to be moving slow
It's not the speed, it's the fact you're on the road
That matters, you're on your way
Homie, whistle on that ladder

They say 1,000 steps
Start with one
Nothing new under the sun
What's to come
What they say cannot be done
Can be done
They just not the ones to do it
Bit off more than you can chew
That's okay, I'll help you chew it
Look at you, bet your shoes
Can't be walked in by them haters
Money talks, I be talking to the paper
Watch it bounce, dancing in the rain
Shake it, good vibes are so contagious
What was seen as outrageous, impossible
Was in the imaginations
Of those who were courageous enough
To not let them get snuffed out

Everybody doubt, just like now
Okay, you been knocked down
Homie, that's a rite of passage
Rough around the edges
I am not the perfect package, but

I think it's time I let you know
That even though things seem to be moving slow
It's not the speed, it's the fact you're on the road
That matters, you're on your way
Homie, whistle on that ladder
I think it's time I let you know
That even though things seem to be moving slow
It's not the speed, it's the fact you're on the road
That matters, you're on your way
Homie, whistle on that ladder
