Lyrics

If there’s one thing we’re willing to do
Is to take the road less traveled
Bet on ourselves a time or two
We gotta get it, go and get it
See it through mission completed
It was written stayed the course and now we’re winning
I’ma tell you like this you gone win if you betting on yourself
Focus on the grind and nothing else
See only you can make yourself excel
Who gone tell you, you can’t be yourself
Yeah they gone say that you can’t work them angles 
But you just gotta know that’s how the game goes
Same goals
Trying to stop what’s waiting at the top for ya
Even when they try to name drop on ya
We gone push this thang right where it’s supposed to be 
Thru the fake love in disguise as OG’s
OMG 
Friends too
You gone have to, reinvent you
If you, want a chance to try to enhance you
And those who, that are loyal to you, will be royal to you
They gone grow with you, right out the soil with you
I’m just a regular guy still trying to count my blessings 
And betting on myself just reinforce the message 
If there’s one thing I’m willing to do
Is to take the road less traveled
Bet on myself a time or two
I gotta get it, go and get it
See it through mission completed
It was written
Stayed the course and benefitted
If there’s one thing we’re willing to do
Is to take the road less traveled
Bet on ourselves a time or two
We gotta get it, go and get it
See it through mission completed
It was written stayed the course and now we’re winning
See something bout the power manifested in you
It doesn’t always get the time to shine all the way through 
And then they told you to follow your dreams but when you do
They contradict and they project all of their fears onto you, damn
If everything is love what do we feel like we’re missing/
Insecurities they’ll keep you imprisoned
Listen
The bad ain't even happened yet so why are you trippin?
Break free
Way too often we give up, we don’t believe, we don’t trust in ourselves
Taking L’s, put our goals back on the shelf
The biggest risk that you can take is to believe in yourself
Not in money, not in fame, don’t succeed you're to blame damn 
Yeah it’s a tough pill to have to swallow 
Cuz we all ain’t guaranteed tomorrow
We just a regular people still trying to count our blessings 
And betting on yourself just reinforce the message
If there’s one thing I’m willing to do
Is to take the road less traveled
Bet on myself a time or two
I gotta get it, go and get it
See it through mission completed
It was written
Stayed the course and benefitted
So let’s celebrate
For betting on ourselves time to congratulate
Just keep them bottles popping talking champagne
You ain’t gotta worry about a damn thing
If there’s one thing I’m willing to do
Is to take the road less traveled
Bet on myself a time or two
I gotta get it go and get it
See it through mission completed
It was written
Stayed the course and benefitted
If there’s one thing We’re willing to do
Is to take the road less traveled
Bet on ourselves a time or two
We gotta get it go and get it
See it through mission completed
It was written
Stayed the course and now we’re winning
