I do it for my mama, my brother, my sister, my whole family
The one who don't look down on me
And always looking out for me I promise
Your help didn't go unnoticed
I thank you for you condolence
I promise I just been, I just been growing
Learning while I'm working
Looking for success feels like I'm forever searching
Contemplating about life, Am I even living right
It eat my conscious appetite, I think about it day & night
I promise that I won't stop doing exactly what I do
I promise to finish school, And I did I finished school
Now I am one of the few that graduated
And I know I got a long road before I actually make it
I know somethings can be wrong, but you can not give and move on
You gotta stay strong
You gotta hold on
You gotta keep fighting, keep fighting for all of the things that you want
If you don't who will
You gotta keep grinding theres no time to kill
To all of my family my friends who was there
When I was down I just want to say I thank you
Everything I do it may not be a sin
Just like everyone I meet they may not be my friend
Had to transition from a boy into a man
Had to get it on my own I learned how not to depend
Now I'm out here playing for keeps
Don't want to see my baby brothers growing up in them streets
I want to see my baby sisters go to school get degree
I want to see my nephew grow up to be better than me
And his pops, but I know
Life could be difficult
Gotta stay consistent at your craft
Remain focus never switch up off your path
Many people will just laugh
They don't want to see you make it, but when you make it those will be the same ones who give you dap
But they don't know no better so we teach them
If we didn't have support we would of never gotten freedom
If you don't support your own who gone support you when you dreaming
Nobody your just gonna keep on sleeping
I know somethings can be wrong, but you can not give and move on
You gotta stay strong
You gotta hold on
You gotta keep fighting, keep fighting for all of the things that you want
If you don't who will
You gotta keep grinding theres no time to kill
To all of my family my friends who was there
When I was down I just want to say I thank you
Since graduation I been dealing with the issues
My life ain't Mona Lisa I ain't have no perfect picture
I'm blessed under conditions
To be in this position
I'm thinking about my future ain't no need for reminicsing
About my past now
Got to think fast now
Gotta be the one that's gone stand out like an outcast now
People gone talk about me I'm gone get harassed now
But they will not tear me down I'm gonna surpass them
I know somethings can be wrong, but you can not give and move on
You gotta stay strong
You gotta hold on
You gotta keep fighting, keep fighting for all of the things that you want
If you don't who will
You gotta keep grinding theres no time to kill
To all of my family my friends who was there
When I was down I just want to say I thank you
