You said
That I could be
Anything
I wanted to be
But living
In this life
Is All That I dreamed of
I, I, I, I gotta get it
Standing face to face with my dreams praying I live it
They be trying to mimic
Before I ad-lib it
Simply a musician
No strings, no gimmicks

Only strings over the beat when I spit it
Don't just think, gotta speak it to existence
They wanna break me down, Transmission
But I rebuild, elevate & climb bridges

Pac told me to "keep my head up"
Biggie told me that "sky's the limit"
Mind telling me never give up
Hearts racing until the finish
Im racing, Im racing
My future, Im chasing
May stumble, it's nothing
Don't fumble, pump-fake it
Stay humble, embrace it
But for jesus sake
I just hope I don't lose it trying to make it

In this life
Is All That I dreamed of

I. I, I gotta make it
Thats what I keep telling myself "I gotta make it"
And yeah it is a journey, No not a destination
The camera's always rolling, No need for preparation
They talking, they saying
Im destined for greatness
But them same people have my name on they hate list
They burned my house down, it was so vacant
Then I rebuilt it, and made renovations
So many plaques, put 'em on the wall for decoration
So many stacks send my family on a vacation
Cause first come success
Then come the paper
Then come the stress
Then come the haters
Then I ask myself, "Is it really worth it"?
Smiling on the outside
But Im really hurting
I'm a keep reaching, keep searching
Before I leave this surface
I just gotta know my purpose
