Mantra

I wanna ball I wanna shine I'm on my way to the top Livin' my life chasing' my dreams Tryna get all the way hot Ghetto child born and wild I get it in on the road Took my time lay low I'm charging a M for a show We started in the field Had to run like a slave to the top You could give to your hood and get killed Lose your life on the way to the top We climbin' up the hill Baby I'm on my way to the top We number one for real Live my life all the way at the top I'm writin' a rap filling a void I could've been on the block Another black man risking his soul And I got crack in my socks But I got a dream I'm telling my mama I'm finna be on the screen But not for a crime I'm shooting a movie And I got racks in my jeans I'm thinking legit cuz I got a plan To shape how the story is told Ain't making excuses chucking up deuces I got some cash on the road Some love is real some love is fake But that cannot get me to stop If it seems like they hate me a lot They can hate on my way to the top Park the Benz on my way to the top Pop some bands on my way to the top I can get it for twenty a show Maybe that's on my way to the top If you picture me fly like a bird Maybe I'm on my way with the hawks If you just take a look at my shoes Check my Nike he straight out the box I wanna ball I wanna shine I'm on my way to the top Livin' my life chasing my dreams Tryna get all the way hot Ghetto child born and wild I get it in on the road Took my time lay low I'm charging a M for a show We started in the field Had to run like a slave to the top You could give to your hood and get killed Lose your life on the way to the top We climbing up the hill Baby I'm on my way to the top We number one for real Live my life all the way at the top I wanna ball I wanna shine I'm tryna stay at the top Cuz I'm so tired of being broke I used to say that alot Ghetto child on my own I never stayed with my pops Quarter water syrup sandwich We were the kids on the block Used to work on my dribble and shots Why do I gotta run from the cops I was crooked I almost got caught Shook the feds on my way to the spot I done swam with the lions and bears I done layed in the field with the sharks You could never build Rome in a day In a second I take it apart I told cupid to throw her away Switch my girl on the way to the top Switch my friends on the way to the top Switch my Benz on the way to the top Take a second to blow down a tree Drop a record and climb up the charts So now we could just walk on the stage Got you thinking I rap but I rock I wanna ball I wanna shine I'm on my way to the top Livin' my life chasing my dreams Tryna get all the way hot Ghetto child born and wild I get it in on the road Took my time lay low I'm charging a M for a show We started in the field Had to run like a slave to the top You could give to your hood and get killed Lose your life on the way to the top We climbing up the hill Baby I'm on my way to the top We number one for real Live my life all the way at the top
