They say your greatness is only shadowed by your trials and tribulations,
only measured by what you have over come.
So how do I measure out the highs and lows,
I must be beyond great since my life has always been in the shadows.
This world is cold out but they didn't tell me, broken dreams
So I've been fighting pneumonia since I was eighteen.
Now darkness leads my mind and I wonder will love save me from time to time.
but why waste thoughts on such nonsense
I've seen too many left behind and stuck in the past tense
I was always ready for greatness, destined to be more than what my mother was prayin.
I layed out this plan, I MADE THIS. Can't wait to say I made it.
I've never questioned my ability or who I would be.
They say all opportunity is equal, but thats a lie for foolish people,
For the same ones that believe in luck, reality you have to break your neck to keep your head up.
I'm gunnin for the thrown I still havent had enough
all this attention is just the beginning of my progression, cant get caught up.
Cant have no distractions, remember people want to see you fail
because they love the reaction
misery loves company but I'm an independent person,
So you'll catch me with the best poker face when I'm hurtin'
I said, misery loves company I'm an independent person,
So you'll catch me with the best poker face when I'm hurtin'
greatness can arise from the bottom, from the shadows,
make peace with the demons and disregard the foes,
and too many are afraid of judgment in what others see
I could never care enough for all that shit, so go ahead and judge me.
Livin out my dream that some would call a fantasy,
but there is no limit to what I can achieve. watch me
When you're born to lose its hard to win,
I'm a perfect example of being the exact opposite of the enviroment I'm in.
nowadays all artists worry about are club hits thats all
thats how most of these artists get their substance lost.
I've lived love labors cost so whats next for me
stuck in a situation where I cant breathe
unless im in front of a mic, like
