lyrics

My imagination exploded
Now locked and loaded
Blood sweat and tears was the price I was quoted
Nothing you can do to me
To keep me from what’s due to me
And luck is when preparation meets opportunity
no more being reckless
I’m going through my checklist
I eat a slice of humble pie with me breakfast
And in my coffee
I sprinkle awareness real softly
keeps me focused and keeps all the hatas up off me
check that, 1 and two
When this train is coming through
I’m doing what I have to do so I can do what I wanna do
this train ain’t swervin’
cause now I’m determined
strictly business like parish smith and erik sermon
I’m getting prepped
What looked like missteps
Was me only practicing, I’m just getting’ reps
So children gather round
This is how it sounds
when you going for the crown just let me break it on down

(CHORUS)


some people finger snap it out
but that ain’t what I’m rapping bout
kids looking for a way I’m about to map it out
listen to your conscious
use it as your compass
learn all you can you can keep all your options
itsa full time job just
sifting through the nonsense
that’s why you gotta enjoy the whole process
close to my dreams like goapele
invest in mental property
they can’t break up your monopoly
keep an eye on your health
cause that’s your real wealth
the worst person to lie to is yourself
to thy own self be true
you get 1 life not two
remember you are what you consistently do
you can find this useful
while you’re still youthful
The watermelon man spitting seeds be fruitful
wise words lead to wise actions
break it down like fractions
for man in the mirror like Mike Jackson
