lyrics

A kid who was never handed anything in his life,
late nights after shifts, would always take out his pen and write.
People ask themselves how can this kid have so much aspiration and ambition, well here sit down take a listen.

fifteen my mother died, that pushed me further to make shit out of my life. moved in with my father on the next flight. whom I never really met, but I wont bore you with all that noise just yet.

This is about future journeys in the bloom and how a star is on the rise and you'll hear of him soon
adventures each more exciting than the previous plight.
work hard in the day travel at night.
yeah work hard in the day and travel at night.
tomorrows a new day, and yesterday is just a past life.
mature quickly as life shifts me.
by the time I hit twenty my mindset was that of fifty.

ambitions in sight, leaving this life behind in the night
ambitions in sight, leaving this life behind in the night.


I was never one to cut myself short,
but I blame my girl for that she was always all a
nigga could ever ask for.
all that and more,
but if anything I've learned life his hectic
embrace your loved ones and never neglect it.

see right now theyre telling me I could never make it
but thats ok cause id rather know you hate my shit now cause later you'll sayin you like it, fakin.
but make no mistake I know I can do anything I put my mind to

you put your mind on petty shit so that's all you'll ever do, and ever be.
a nigga like me aint even worried about the likes of someone like you
cause I'll be leaving this point in my life soon.
see you can tell a real friend when they're happy for you
when your getting some buzz off of doing what you do.
the ones that are mad are the ones who never true.

ambitions.x


see, my ambition you have to forgive me for, you have to understand,
cause my dreams are bigger than where I now stand.
My souls entity desires to step foot on distant lands,
speak the truth and share my music with the fans.
a young kid at heart is all I'll ever be
wanting my mom to be happy and and to be proud of me.
I just followed along with this college shit,
cause thats what society told me I had to do make it.
A few years later college still hasnt done much
my local drug dealer just bought me lunch.
damn, the american dream is sure twisted.
whats it take to convince the world your gifted.
we work hard in the day and travel at night,
and I can wait to see the new faces on the next flight.
