I got a date with destiny

My heart says, "Yeah" but can't convince the rest of me

I tried so hard to make it with no recipe

My selfish ways caught up and got the best of me

I need redemption, no need to mention my past

'Cause all that matters now, is bigger than diamonds and cash

The glits', the glamour, the lights, the camera the action

The stage, the fans, the speakers blastin'

You know I'm want it, I need it, don't doubt it, I can't live without it

This is everything I dreamed of

It's everything I've ever wanted

But is it really, truly in my plans?

Or did God mix up my blue prints?

Did he have it right there in his hands?

Anybody give me a hint

I can feel it now, I know it's coming

And I don't give a fuck what anybody say

I've fallen, I've risen, I chose to select to dismiss an incarceration, through these bars, created a prison

And I intend to do the time and the sentence that's given

Twenty-five to life, yeah, that's how I'm living

Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever make it

But there's only way I'm a know

I'm like a seed planted in the dirt

Feels like I've been waiting forever to grow

And maybe, today is the day

And maybe, tonight is the night

But one thing that I know for sure

This time, I'ma get it right
