40 for 40 Video (MV)

I can feel the insecurities in their voice
Advertising negativity that's a choice
I'm on a mission to make it they don't wanna see me change
It's human nature they cannot do it so you gotta stay the same
Oh big man on the block he gon' try and change the game
Criticism from a sheep really don't mean a thing (Don't)
Mama taught me patience, and dad taught me hard work so I got the best combination
Look I'm in it for the long run I don't do no politickin'
Don't possess the mind stone but I still see my vision
Yeah
I'm on another division
I'm talkin' ivy league
You a community seed
I see the jealousy breed
I see a mom in distress turn to spirituality
I see a dad focused on things other than core family
What a calamity
Oh what a tragedy
When did I start to go wrong as a son, thoughts that bother me, for real
Tell me what I gotta do
Standing by everything true
I got a lot more to lose
I gotta make it through
I took the less traveled route
Apologies way overdue
Workin' on me just to prove
I gotta make it through
Gotta make it through
Certain people want me to conform but I refuse
Never really fit in, I was always on the move
So I let the music tell the story as I cruise
Connections are weak
Telephone lines out of reach
I flow on the beat
Use it as my therapy
I'm playin for keeps
Keep it goin' till the death of me
Oh now you got me going cause everybody want a piece of me, look
Mama imma do right by you
I gotta break out my shell and give everybody what they wanna see
I am no longer afraid to be myself that's a tbt
I got em shook, I got em shakin if they tryna play with me
You got a lot of nerve tryna question my authenticity
I show no empathy
No remorse on your face
Such a disgrace
Every action you take is a mistake
And decisions are not going your way
Do I dare say
Facts laid, road paved
Free smoke anyday
On a wave
In the game of rap, I'm the protege
Tell me what I gotta do
Standing by everything true
I got a lot more to lose
I gotta make it through
I took the less traveled route
Apologies way overdue
Workin' on me just to prove
I gotta make it through
