Imagine
From Struggle to Triumph: Mista Cane's Journey to Self-Made Success
Lyrics
Imagine everything you ever wanted coming to you two fold
Envision receiving everything desired multiplied by two
Imagine they all respect you now cuz you too cold
Envision gaining respect due to being exceptionally talented
Imagine when them girls wouldn't give the time of day
Imagine a time when girls ignored you
Now they tempt you simply tryna take your life away
Now they try to harm you out of jealousy
More distinguished more to lose yet more to prove
Having achieved more, there's more at risk and more to prove
Reminisce when I was younger had a shorter fuse
Reflecting on a more volatile temperament in youth
Now we hire private chefs when we order food
Currently, hiring private chefs for meals
In hindsight realizing that your the mood
Realizing the influence you possess in retrospect
Paid all sorta dues personal professional
Having paid various dues in personal and professional spheres
Been betrayed my heart in pieces like a sectional
Experiencing betrayal and heartbreak
For me to move now you gone have to move the decimal
For progress, significant monetary gains are necessary
Instead of being criminals my click is incredible
Transformed from being involved in crime to achieving incredible things
I'm only human so don't put me on a pedestal
Requesting not to be idealized, acknowledging humanity
I done made mistakes things that I said I'd never do
Admitting past mistakes but staying focused on earnings
But what I never did was let up on this revenue
Persistently driven by fear of failure to earn
Driven by the fear of failure hard work led em to
Asserting that success requires significant determination
Success ain't for the faint of heart that's true
Grateful for the challenging experiences leading to success
I'm forever grateful for the struggle I been through
Envisioned and realized aspirations
I imagined it and made it so
Self-made success story aspired for
Made it out self made that's the way to go
(Repeated lines)
That's the way to go
-Success ain't for the faint of heart that's true
-I'm forever grateful for the struggle I been through
-I imagined it and made it so
-Made it out self made that's the way to go
-That's the way to go
(Repeated line)
Imagine being told you was lesser from those hired to teach you
Being undermined by educators
Imagine how much harder it makes it for them to reach you
Difficulty in connecting with these educators due to their approach
Truthfully tuned em out I just started ditching class
Ignoring teachers and choosing a different path
Made up my mind apparently I had a different path
Deciding on a path involving street life and music
Dabbled into the street life studio would be next
Unconventional methods leading to success
Unconventional is how I reached the road to success
(Repeated lines)
Now
-Imagine what them same teachers would say nowadays
-I'm better at their job then they are I know how I to save
-Half a million last year and I ain't struggling a
-Shout out to my classmates still juggling weight
-Didn't pass algebra I guess I didn't need it long
-Them run on sentences turned into my favorite songs
-Changed the future for my kids and they kids too
-I say it cuz overachieving's what I did do
-Blessed I'm breathing my experience I live through
-Through ups and downs my reality I give you
-Success ain't for the faint of heart that's true
-I'm forever grateful for the struggle I been through
-I imagined it and made it so
-Made it out self made that's the way to go
-That's the way to go
-Success ain't for the faint of heart that's true
-I'm forever grateful for the struggle I been through
-I imagined it and made it so
-Made it out self made that's the way to go
-That's the way to go
-Now imagine if all the hate was support
-Would I still have this chip on my shoulder to push me forward
-Would I still be relentless in pursuit of my dreams
-Or would complacency be chasing me and my self esteem
-Gimme a false sense of making it perhaps I'd relax
-Maybe I wouldn't be so quick to brush it off and come back
-Maybe my surroundings ain't effect me at all
-Never caved to peer pressure not influenced by y'all
-Maybe destiny exists I'm an example of that
-Maybe I'm blind to the fact we all under attack
-I don't cater to authority I measure my moves
-Don't seek or need attention you don't like me I'm coo
-Don't seek or need attention you don't like me I'm coo
-Success ain't for the faint of heart that's true
-I'm forever grateful for the struggle I been through
-I imagined it and made it so
-Made it out self made that's the way to go
-That's the way to go
-Success ain't for the faint of heart that's true
-I'm forever grateful for the struggle I been through
-I imagined it and made it so
-Made it out self made that's the way to go
-That's the way to go
Emphasizing the importance of being self-made in success
