A Mic Life

Man, whatever your dream is, don't wait, believe in yourself, no matter how long it takes, keep working, enjoy the whole thing, not just the finish line I am falling down I got the world on my shoulders The world on my shoulders I am breaking down I'm crumbling slowly I'm crumbling slowly Everyday a man wakes up, gets up everyday in his pick up Work sucks, but he never gives up Is this the world that he dreamed of Two kids to feed, a wife that he sees only in his sleep Worked away dreams for what they need, but that ain't what it means Provide everything if he told them what he needs The world seems bigger than it seems, even if they lean Still a team, sick of working for Steve Jobs indeed, only gets to eat half of what he feeds Had a wish he had to believe, a business of his he knew was a risk So walking away from the job he gave, everything that he made But he's done being a slave to someone else's way Some would say he quit, but to him his life just begins Left a job for a career, just started, but knew it was near Cause you never work if you love what you endear He faced his fear, where to start, knew it was here Must admit, he didn't come out and rip Had to work through it, but life gave him the grit to save it Whatever your passion, you can make happen For him it's rapping, everyone laughing But he's no longer lacking, he started smashing Now they're clapping, better than he imagined His music was blasting, gaining traction His message was captain, but he wasn't capping Took his team to happen, he's ripping stages in life's phases He gets to see his daughter's faces everyday, it's amazing And it wasn't from taking, his dreams away that he was craving He believed in himself and he wasn't mistaking It was for never quitting when he felt like breaking It was for never leaving when he felt like fading For never stopping when he felt like laying Taking his fears and facing, now it's his song and kids playing The next generation he's saving, from the same mistakes he was making Avoiding who he really was, he wasn't thinking much It's not just him, it's us Find who you are, not who you was Ain't no such thing as luck, when shit hits the fan you adjust Scared to be yourself, you must In God I trust, you stay tough, that's when you erupt No rush, but time there ain't enough Once you start doing what you love I'm traveling slowly, I'm traveling slowly, oh I'm traveling slowly, I'm traveling slowly, oh
