For a Long Time

Waited for this moment

Excited I can't control it

People been taking notice

They question me If I own it

Told them that my opponent

Was only me and myself

I play the hand that I'm dealt

And put my chips in a pot

Lord I'm risking a lot

Knowing that all the work

Won't promise me anything

But please give me a shot

Please pass me the rock

Please pass me the keys

You know that I got the drive

I need you to believe in me

I need you to be with me

Cause remember I dropped out

Was wrestling with my demons

You seen me get stomped out

Was smoking drinking then sleep on the couch

Of my moms house

Even thoughts of a suicide but then heaven was locked out

Thoughts of me being 30

Questioning if I'm worthy

People talking about me some reason it still concerns me

So in tune with the journey

Knowing that my success is a product of being blessed

I'm just wondering now what's next

Yo, they say diamonds live forever

A testament to pop cuz the minute I popped out you immeadiately felt the pressure

And strictly for the record, potential is limitless

Proceeded with diligence, my upbringing was militant

From Beach 9 to Perry than settled on Matthew

You did what you had to, you gave us this castle

Your love was so natural, you gave me this life

So I'ma make it my right to pull up and bring you some black through

They labelled you immigrant, a soul witta green card

Ya repotoire was lacking no English you beat odds

I'm guessin you've seen stars I constantly reach for

You tell me to seek more, you question my detours

I tell you that I'm a man my legend is restored

I look pass my past the present no before

You always told me be a leader never follow

Well good cuz your tough act to follow
