On My Way

Ay, is this thing on? One-two, check I'm still living by the same code If you ain't know, you can ask around The Son of David's saving And He ain't even got a bank account I know the system wanted me slinging rocks or just packing rounds I bet they hate me now Cos I don made 'em mad with that cap and gown Yeah I graduated this summer I graduated with honours That certificate was like a Emmy Award And I dedicate it to you momma Cos you ain't never doubted me And really all I ever wanna do is make you proud of me So now I'm tryna find my feet And make ends meet, while I'm chasing my dreams Putting in work at a 9-5 Then hopping on stage to inspire lives Gotta work hard to defy the odds If time don't wait, then why should I? Man, the time is now or never Wat'chu know about my endeavours? I feel like life handed me a couple lemons And all I'm tryna do right now is make a beverage And just last week, an old friend told me that I changed from the dude he remembered But since he didn't qualify the statement I could only hope he meant to say "it's for the better" Let me say it on the record It's live and learn, live and learn, live and learn, till my last breath And really I been rocking and rolling with the King so long Graceland should be my address, but I digress Don't get it twisted I'm not here to play I'm here on a mission I know what they say It's not a sprint, it's a marathon But even that's still a race I'm not where I wanna be But you can guarantee that I'm on my way Yeah, tell 'em that I'm on my way And you can take it to the bank I feel it that I'm drawing closer I really never lost my focus, yeah Still driven like I called a chauffeur, uh And truth is, I'm so far from vocal But you hardly notice, right? I guess the loudest words are from the lips of those who are the softest spoken Rest in peace, Mrs. Rosa Parks That quiet strength is my goal Cos even though you and me were two worlds apart I feel like the 'you' of my own Cos they expected us to comply And we both had to fight and say no And you were tryna change the world with your voice And I'm just tryna do the same with these flows, yeah And I don't need nobody else tryna tell me "be faithful with little" Cos you know that it would be more than a little, if I had a nickel And I ain't impressed with these rappers that claim they be running the game I just pray that I don't pull a muscle or fall while I'm running my lane And I know that I'm right where I'm s'posed to be And He got His angels over me So I'm pressing on, and I'm pressing in Until I'm everything that I was born to be Get the living water and let it flow from me So that the world can see what I mean Forget what they told you Forget what they showed you I'm living for something that's bigger than me, aahhh Don't get it twisted I'm not here to play I'm here on a mission I know what they say It's not a sprint, it's a marathon But even that's still a race I'm not where I wanna be But you can guarantee that I'm on my way Yeah, tell 'em that I'm on my way Don't get it twisted I'm not here to play I'm here on a mission I know what they say It's not a sprint, it's a marathon But even that's still a race I'm not where I wanna be But you can guarantee that I'm on my way Yeah, tell 'em that I'm on my way
