There was a time when they didn't wanna hear what I had to say
but I had to say it anyway,
I got a point to make and a voice to use
I got a joint to blaze and a point to prove
I'm on a move buddy
collectin' a bit of new money
I feel invisible there's nothin' you can do to me
go and pack the van, show in front of rabid fans
while many people ain't livin' their dream yo I'm glad I am
I rock to the beat, knock the socks off your feet, man
talk isn't cheap I paid the cost, nothin' free
word life, you won't make it your first try
gotta keep stickin' to it your patience is sure to die
man I'm certified been workin that overtime
while you searchin' for a high man
I'm learnin' to go inside
There was a time when they use to talk shit
now they all just sit back and watch it
the success
yea, I carved my lane, made my own name
you try to take that from me, and I'm sayin' no way
can't stop what we built we on the top of the hill
reminiscin' on days my name was not on the bill yo
I made it happen paved my way became established
school of hard knocks everyday was taking classes
now we take it back and think on times when it was all a dream
look outside of the box cause nothin's really what it seems yo
I rock to the beat, knock the socks off your feet, man
talk isn't cheap I paid the cost, nothin' free
word life, you won't make it your first try
gotta keep stickin' to it your patience is sure to die
man I'm certified been workin that overtime
while you searchin' for a high man
I'm learnin' to go inside
There was a time when they use to talk shit
now they all just sit back and watch it
the success
yea, I showed you all on my first tape
I perform better than you even on my worst day
you got lazy caught you sleepin' on a workday
couldn't wait till the weekend you went out on a Thursday
while I'm in the lab even on my birthday
pen and pad tryin' to get this verse made
think you got the first taste, well there's more to come
everyday I'm away, I'm on tour for a month and
sure i's fun I wouldn't have it any other way
but people never really understand the struggle it takes
the hustle, the muscle and aches
tryin' to stay humble through the hunger pains
tryin' to see the sun from the rain
I rock to the beat, knock the socks off your feet, man
talk isn't cheap I paid the cost, nothin' free
word life, you won't make it your first try
gotta keep stickin' to it your patience is sure to die
man I'm certified been workin that overtime
while you searchin' for a high man
I'm learnin' to go inside
There was a time when they use to talk shit
now they all just sit back and watch it
the success
