Lyrics

Do what you love to do don't do it cuz you have to do
I mean you do, but if you do it right never think it through
Be the best at being you, like you got a point prove
Never take no as an answer just cuz it was said to you
Understand that standing still is something only losers
And playin safe ain't for the brave it show the weak ones in the group
It sound repepitive but reputition makes a habit of seeing bigger truths
Outa reaching every goal that you ever tried to do
Diamonds are forever but the pain is temporary
Birds sing on rainy days too nobody wana say it
Sometime the best day for someone else might be ya worst one
But understand that karma comes around if you deserve one
That's the part of the story nobody talk about
When life kicks you in the dick you gotta walk it out
Don't do no sucker shit and give away the chance to get out
Do what you love don't what you have to do because you do
I mean you do, but if you do it right never think it through
Be the best at being you, like you got a point prove
Never take no as an answer just cuz it was said to you
Understand that standing still is something only losers
And playin safe ain't for the brave it show the weak ones in the group
It sound repepitive but reputition makes a habit of seeing bigger truths
Outa reaching every goal that you ever tried to do
I look at goals in a percent not as a dollar sign
If I could cover 1% that mean I'm moving fine
Cuz in 100 days I doubled mine
We all got our definition of consistency but this is mine
Double down and do it twice
Put my face in lights
Sacrifice everything I got I had to pay the price
I didn't used to gamble till I nearly lost my life
But than I risked it all and got a million listeners and did it twice
Than did it 10 x to show that it ain't accidental right
I know nobody give me credit cuz I rap like this in white
But I'm autobiographical if you don't like it it's alright
All the people with emotions understand me and my life
And all the haters sittin stagnant with no motion it's alright
I'm here to unify if you don't like it suck a dick and die
I'm on a cup of aunt Jenima and I'm smoken apple pie
I'm ok with being in my corner doing fine
Do what you love to do don't do it cuz you have to do
I mean you do, but if you do it right never think it through
Be the best at being you, like you got a point prove
Never take no as an answer just cuz it was said to you
Understand that standing still is something only losers
And playin safe ain't for the brave it show the weak ones in the group
It sound repepitive but reputition makes a habit of seeing bigger truths
Outa reaching every goal that you ever tried to do
