Lyrics

Wasn't what I was expecting But it's better than nothin' And now I'm rappin' on this beat You niggas thought I was frontin' I'm just doin' me nigga, I ain't worried bout nothin' 'Cause in my purpose and my power I ain't worried 'bout strugglin' When I was 12 years old my grandma told me I'm the chosen one Didn't know what she meant I was just rhyming for fun Taking lesson after lesson til I thought I was done Then she passed in '16 and passed me the baton I was forced to find my power and demand that shit back Breaking curse after curse Threw myself on this track To prove to myself the depth and the wealth That runs through my veins can't sit on a shelf It's the room, it's the view The sadness inspires you To shift your reality, ain't perfect but I'm proud of me The gifts I was given, I made a monopoly Know you tired of bein' strong But you gotta be I know it's confusin' Take it day by day His grace, His blessings Will help you find your way Didn't know where I was goin' But I'm happy I went 'Cause the way my life's unfoldin', I'm 100% Confident In what I'm doin', Carefree and bein' me is the life that I'm pursuin' Gotta learn and pave the way for this family of mine Do my best to get it right and leave the rest to the divine The abundant life is comin' You just gotta give it time Till then, I got a pen, I got a dollar & a rhyme And I ain't sayin' that it don't get hard, cause it do You just gotta stay true To that light inside of you And know that everything that happens only happens for a reason The pain you feel inside'll last for a season Baby girl, baby boy, live ya life and don't stress When the hard times come, put ya skills to the test To overcome each mountain, trial & tribulation Do everything with love and you'll touch the whole nation I know it's confusin' Take it day by day His grace, His blessings Will help you find your way I know it's confusin' Take it day by day His grace, His blessings Will help you find your way
