Grind
I gotta keep working hard
I have to make it somewhere
I have to make my momma proud
I've been through too much hell
Too much suffering
Too much pain
Too many nights without food
Too many cuts on my wrist
Too many tears shed
Too much blood cleaned up
Gotta make up for all the nights my momma cried
No I'm not perfect
I'm not the most intelligent
I'm not the best looking
I'm not gonna put on a mask for anybody's approval
I'm my own , true , raw person
I'm alone in this world
No dad to teach me life lessons
I've come so far on my own
I've matured on my own
Everybody left
Even my own family
But i will stay strong and keep my head up
I know that the Lord has me here for a reason
What it is I don't know yet
But I'm still breathing
I can't take it easy
I gotta prove all the doubters wrong
Just wait , one day these haters will be working for me
Life has so many twist and turns but somehow I'm still here
I'm going beastmode
They gonna think I got cheat codes
Don't get too comfortable around me
I'm always plotting even if it means out-working someone in every aspect of life
One day when I reminisce and reflect on my life
I wanna be able to say , “ I made it “ , through everything life has thrown at me
I stayed strong and faithful to the Lord up above
I cannot complain because I'm learning so much about life
I don't wish for another life
This is just the hand I was dealt
So I gotta make the best out of it
Money doesn't mean anything to me
Material objects and cars don't either
I just wanna eat and be able to provide and support everyone who has been with me thru these hard times
I got three brothers and one sister
With a mother who doesn't love us
I gotta be successful for my sanity and my family
I hate feeling broke in my pockets but I got everything I need in my heart
I'm gonna leave my legacy on this world
I gotta grind
