Moments

When I look back at all the moments in my life

I found all the things I need are deep inside (They don't, they don't know)

And I could probably wait forever for my time

Or believe this is the season to take what's mine (They don't, they don't know)

Because you've gotta stand for something or stand for nothing

So right here inside the sand, I draw the line (They don't, they don't know)

Yeah, yo

We started from the bottom, never lived to be forgotten

From a seed until we blossom, every day we're livin' awesome

The jealous, steady plottin', till we make them fall like autumn

If you see me on a boat, not on the way to pickin' cotton

Tell me that I'm brave, but not a soldier, I'm a rapper

I just want ‘em to be saved, preach from the scripture like a pastor

Winnin' to the grave, smile in the midst of a disaster

I could never be a slave because I'm ownin' every master

See me graduatin' from a rookie as a teen

To a hustler on the scene, to me livin' out my dream

I don't I have to overthink it, I just tell ‘em what I mean

Now, I've got fans amongst the greatest livin' thinkers on the scene

Leaders cannot be the sheep, beamin' like a lighthouse

Sellin' on the street to havin' meetings in the White House

And I know every fire dies out

A million to inspire, I can't sleep until it's lights out

When I look back at all the moments in my life

I found all the things I need are deep inside (They don't, they don't know)

And I could probably wait forever for my time

Or believe this is the season to take what's mine (They don't, they don't know)

Because you've gotta stand for something or stand for nothing

So right here inside the sand, I draw the line (They don't, they don't know)

Yo, check it

On this balcony, down in Miami writin' my life

These penthouse views about as high as my flight

Far from the dark, gotta keep that out of my life

Close to the sun, that's how I supply you with light

A piece of the pie, I just want to find me a slice

If I was you, I wouldn't try me tonight, that's right

‘Cause I was made to crack codes and design abstract flows

That save black souls from fallin' in black holes

Light-years ahead of light-years, when I'm channelin' these ideas

You just gotta show me where the mic is

I went from not affordin' my bills like, “Where the lights is?”

To lightin' up the world without lookin' at what the price is

And this ain't braggadocious, this is average Joe ****

Inspiration when your cab approaches

And your destiny's your driver and you have emotions

The same ones I had when I wrote this, yeah

When I look back at all the moments in my life

I found all the things I need are deep inside (But they don't, they don't know)

And I could probably wait forever for my time

Or believe this is the season to take what's mine (They don't, they don't know)

Because you've gotta stand for something or stand for nothing

So right here inside the sand, I draw the line (They don't, they don't know)

Listen, yo

I'm wakin' up at 7 tryin' to make my niche richer

Losers hatin' from eleven, better off as ditch diggers

Got family up in Heaven and it makes me think bigger

So I'm plottin', more than seven now I'm seein' six figures

It started as a vision, a dream or premonition

Inspired intuition, nobody gave permission

The system's gonna crush you if you don't make the decisions

So I put my faith in God, I don't put faith in politicians

Now I'm travelin' the world, just to speak and take it easy

To these little boys and girls, you can reach your dream, believe me

To haters takin' shots, I know you truly want to be me

If I die, stand on my grave, and still you fools will be beneath me

Poppin' where you've never been, hustled where you'd never win

Rocked it where you'd never din, and paddled where you'd never swim

So all your jabs are so irrelevant

A kitten to a tiger, man, a peanut to an elephant

When I look back at all the moments in my life

I found all the things I need are deep inside (But they don't, they don't know)

And I could probably wait forever for my time

Or believe this is the season to take what's mine (They don't, they don't know)

Because you've gotta stand for something or stand for nothing

So right here inside the sand, I draw the line (They don't, they don't know)
