Lyrics
Sittin' in the ride got the beat just knocking
Sitting in the car, feeling the strong rhythm.
Contemplatin' life got the world still stoppin'
Reflecting on life while everything seems paused.
Young black male against odds in a place at a time
A young black man facing challenges in a specific place and time.
Opportunist, but oppression still around
Ambitious but still encountering oppression.
Fingas in the air frustrated still bobbin'
Frustrated, expressing through hand gestures while still moving to hip-hop.
Bangin' hip hop, but I'm movin' with caution
Enjoying hip-hop cautiously.
Living out my dream wondering why it ain't fair at times
Living a dream but questioning its fairness.
All these privileged people, but where's mine
Noticing privileged individuals and wondering about personal opportunities.
Putting in effort no matter what's what's still chosen
Persisting despite uncertainties.
With flare and swag, I stay on 'em
Confidently displaying style and attitude.
Barred ain't nothing but the south stay holding
Emphasizing the persistence of the South in facing obstacles.
Keep the Word within me, steady battling out the locust
Maintaining faith while facing inner challenges.
Spiritually we in a battle, naturally we in a battle
Highlighting spiritual and natural struggles.
Peer pressure from my partners got trippin' so I dabble
Peer influence causing some experimentation.
Tryna live up out my dream, tryna up my self-esteem
Aspiring to fulfill dreams and enhance self-worth.
Tryna progress my life from poverty to share my interbeing
Striving to progress from poverty and share personal experiences.
You can, you can do anything you want, anything you want
Encouraging belief in limitless potential.
Just get up and grind, and go get it, go get it
Emphasizing the need for hard work to achieve goals.
I can't describe how many times my mind
Reflecting on moments of considering giving up.
Is up and tried to throw it all away
Dealing with overwhelming anxieties and thoughts of quitting.
Overwhelm with anxieties, I'm panicking
Experiencing panic due to stress.
Tryna grind from day-to-day
Struggling to sustain daily efforts.
Confidence just lack sometimes, my mood is down
Feeling a lack of confidence at times.
With no one to relate, spiritually I am weak right now
Experiencing spiritual weakness without relatable support.
Dear Lord through sound, please take this pain away
Seeking relief from pain through faith.
Then I remember all that He's done it's
Recalling past blessings despite unfairness in life.
Nothing's ever fair in life, how bad you want it
Stressing the importance of strong desire to overcome challenges.
Punching overtime to achieve because I'm focused
Working tirelessly towards goals with focus.
Dealing away the thoughts in my head that cause destruction
Struggling against self-destructive thoughts.
Mentally I'm loaded in search for better days
Seeking mental strength for a better future.
The spade that I was dealt, gilded within a cage
Feeling trapped within a challenging situation.
Maybe it was the system, technology played a difference
Considering the impact of the system and technology on life.
The opportunities lack if darker don't be a victim
Noting the lack of opportunities for darker-skinned individuals.
You can, you can do anything you want, anything you want
Reiterating the message of unlimited potential through hard work.
Just get up and grind, and go get it, go get it
Stressing the importance of persistence and hard work again.
But anything you want go ahead and put your mind to
Repeating the encouragement to focus on goals and persist despite challenges.
I promise you can grind through, I promise you can grind through
-But anything you want go ahead and put your mind to
-I promise you can grind through, I promise you can grind through
-But anything you want go ahead and put your mind to
-I promise you can grind through, I promise you can grind through
-But anything you want go ahead and put your mind to
-I promise you can grind through, see I been sent to find you
-Livin' wit the world comin' down with the mindset
-Looking for His grace, and a path so I'm up next
-Giving it a voice, one that soothes let it speak facts
-Life is a vessel so that Jesus can come back
-Blessin' the moves of the people around him
-Dear Heavenly Father, an Angel to watch them
-This is the sound of a young boy, these thoughts
-Are what they seem, explore the consciousness
-Of living through His dream
-You can, you can do anything you want, anything you want
-Just get up and grind, I promise you can grind through
-And go get it, mind to, and go get it
-I promise you can grind through
-Mind to, I promise you can grind through
-Put your mind to and grind through
-Put your mind to, I been sent to find you
Expressing a determination to guide and support others in their journey.
