Lyrics
Ever driven since 97', that been a fact
Since 1997, I have been driven, and it's a factual statement.
Pen and pad gripped in my hand since I was a little man
I've held a pen and pad since childhood, symbolizing early creative expression.
This the plan, put in the work while everyone's sitting back
The plan is to work while others relax, emphasizing diligence.
Never lack on giving it everything that you think you can
Always give your best effort, regardless of what you think you can do.
This whole place is dangerous, you get phased and really mad
The environment is challenging, and reactions can be intense.
They gon' pray you breaking, the closest people gon' hit you bad
People may hope for your failure, even close ones may betray.
Everybody test you on any level you bring it at
Everyone will test you on any challenge you face.
Always be yourself, you're the only one that can win at that
Authenticity is crucial; being yourself is the key to success.
Don't back down, always stay on course, and be adamant
Don't give up, stay focused, and be persistent.
Keep on moving forward, it doesn't matter how bad it gets
Keep progressing despite difficulties.
When it rains, it pours, the winter storm you stand against
Face challenges bravely, as tough times will come.
Can't let nothin' break you, your day will come if you manifest
Stay resilient; your efforts will pay off if you believe in them.
This battle don't have no rest, all that passion you can't suppress
Life's battles don't pause; passion should not be suppressed.
Open your eyes up, cuz life is more than just cashing cheques
Life is more than just financial success; broaden your perspective.
People who rather flex, lose themselves in a massive mess
Don't lose yourself in showing off; it leads to chaos.
Don't get caught in your past, and just stay fixed on what happens next
Don't dwell on the past; focus on the future.
You wanting change? And yet you stay inside and you pout
Desire change, don't stay stuck complaining.
You chasing the wrong things, instead go find a new route
Reevaluate priorities; find a new path.
Worried about what they say, and the one's who wanna doubt
Ignore negative opinions; concentrate on your own journey.
Focus on what you been doing, not what they been talking about
Stay focused on your actions, not others' words.
And with each shed tear, you keep wasting your years
Tears are wasting time; take control of your life.
Why don't you get a grip and steer, instead of living in fear
Don't live in fear; take charge of your destiny.
All these flaws are so clear, you're letting things interfere
Recognize personal flaws and overcome obstacles.
You want to see something that's great? Then take a look in the mirror
Look at yourself for greatness rather than seeking it elsewhere.
You ain't know nobody with passion out there that's half this
No one matches my passion; it's a unique quality.
You ain't with the movement it's pretty clear that you lack sense
If you're not part of the movement, you lack understanding.
Must be out your mind or something up there is absent
Questioning sanity or missing something crucial.
Only get one shot in this moment to blow, you can't miss
Opportunity is rare; don't miss your chance.
It's madness, so many people caught in the past tense
Many stuck in the past are ruining their potential.
Wrecking their potential, and losing track where their path is
Losing track of their goals, unaware of their path.
Won't settle down, I know they wait on the day I'm checking out
Refusing to settle down, anticipating a future exit.
Only time will tell, we'll see who laughs in a decade now
Time will reveal who succeeds and who laughs later.
Yeah, then it all fades to black
All fades to black, indicating an end or transformation.
Everything's changed, and now you can't head on back
Change is irreversible; no going back.
All of the years that you'd trade just to make it in rap
Years traded for a career in rap; recognition is uncertain.
Who's gonna recognize your face when your days at the last
Legacy and recognition may not guarantee lasting impact.
You gave your life for this game, was it worth it for that
Questioning the worth of sacrificing life for success.
What's gotten into me? Gave up on everything for a legacy
Reflecting on abandoning everything for a lasting impact.
When it's all over you're nothing more than a memory
Post-success, reduced to a memory in the grand scheme.
Will they all applaud me, or will they forget my energy
Uncertainty about how others will perceive and remember.
Welcome to my Symphony, take a glimpse at the inner me
Introducing the culmination of experiences and self in a symphony.
