Believe (feat. Justin Timberlake)

You know I still believe, still believe in

You and me

'Cause every night I go to sleep, go to sleep

I can see it like a movie in my dreams

Put my face in the dirt, on the ground

Still I raise up to take back the crown

Yes, you can break my body

But you can't lock the soul of a man down

Follow your dreams, not your addictions

How we gon' follow our dreams locked in a prison?

They try to swallow me whole, God be my witness

Deprive me out of my dreams, but I'm relentless

I'm with the money, ain't ever want attention

So I don't pay attention to comments and all the mentions

'Cause they ain't see my vision

I was washing dishes, till my rags turned into riches

Glad when it was Christmas

We ain't even barely get presents, but we was gifted

In the school of failure, we present, perfect attendance

Welfare baby, we workin' with what they give us

Made me some commas, judge still gave me a sentence

No periods, city girls don't get scared when it's really real

When your bank account twenty mil'

And your house up on a hill

And your Phantom in the drive-way

You walk out and see the grill

Thank God you believe

Make sure you pray when you kneel, yeah

You know I still believe, still believe in

You and me

'Cause every night I go to sleep, go to sleep

I can see it like a movie in my dreams

Put my face in the dirt, on the ground

Still I raise up to take back the crown

Yes, you can break my body

But you can't lock the soul of a man down

Yeah, uh

My bank account it was on super-zero

Ain't never panic, I'm a super hero

Uh, target my goals, and I'ma shoot the arrow

When God turned the heat up on me, he said "You De Niro"

Play your part, got some brains like Scarecrow

Let's play it smart, 'cause we ain't playin' checkers, this is chess

Play your pawns, sit back like a king when they move

Make your mark, and never ever let your competition take your art

Say "I believe in myself"

When everybody stopped believin', never leave on yourself

They had my back against the wall, I had to lean on myself

Almost made me put my dreams on the shelf

I'm trippin'

Laws of attraction, you just think I'm rappin'

I'm just puttin' out the energy so I can grab it

Everything that's in my memory, that I imagined

It's finally here, hundred million in a year

I still believe, still believe in

You and me

'Cause every night I go to sleep, go to sleep

I can see it like a movie in my dreams

Put my face in the dirt, on the ground

Still I raise up to take back the crown

Yes, you can break my body

But you can't lock the soul of a man down

As I lay (As I lay)

Me down to sleep (Down to sleep)

Pray the Lord (Pray)

My soul to keep (Soul to keep)

Fallen ones (Fallen ones)

Rest in peace (R.I.P.)

Please God

Watch over me (Watch over me)

As I lay (As I lay)

Me down to sleep (Down to sleep)

Pray the Lord (Pray)

My soul to keep (My soul to keep)

Fallen ones (Fallen ones)

Rest in peace (R.I.P.)

Please God

Watch over me
