Growing up my family never had a silver spoon
I used to dream about having a bigger room
It messed me up and i can’t deny
‘cause every month we were getting by
Living a life only based on a cheque
I was just a young boy and i was feeling depressed
With only a rap dream of making it out
This shit is my north star, i’m not chasing the clout
Things got worse especially when my dad retired
It was hard for me to get the things that i desired
My mother stepped up, she’s the reason the family’s fed
No matter what she says to me, i can’t be mad
And i hate to see her stress
Cause she working hard barely getting rest
Almost sixty and she’s gonna be retired soon
The pressures getting thick i gotta make it out the hood
The whole world is sitting on my shoulders
My mom and dad are only getting older
I want to show them when i’m in my prime
But i feel like i’m running out of time
Will i make it or not? will time be on my side?
Am i asking a lot?
Will i make it or not? will time be on my side?
Am i asking a lot?
I believe that god gave me this dream
If i don’t chase it then i’ll be committing a sin
It’s clear to me the devil wanna see me in hell
He’d rather see me lose than to see me prevail
That’s why i’m really conscious of who i let in my life
‘cause people kill dreams without a use of a knife
And i can not afford to let that happen to me
Not a single soul will change what i’m destined to be
And this goes out to every nigga at the top
Don’t be comfortable ‘case i’m coming for every spot
I’m twenty years looking for ways to improve
I’m not you rap nigga who got something to prove
The whole world is sitting on my shoulders
My mom and dad are only getting older
I want to show them when i’m in my prime
But i feel like i’m running out of time
Will i make it or not? will time be on my side?
Am i asking a lot?
Will i make it or not? will time be on my side?
Am i asking a lot?
