All I Ever Wanted

All I ever wanted Was to be successful But no one ever tells you How stressful this shit could be Never get to see your friends and family I'm always on my grind It's hard to make the time Just know you're always on my mind I need to find the balance It's just a challenge tryna salvage This hand I was given Build a better place For us to live in But lately I been thinking What happens When I make it And some are no longer living While your reminiscing I'll just sit and listen wishing I was there for all those days That I was missing Way to focused on my vision Old memories is all we have And how long till the good turn sad Living in the past Can only last for so long So try to stay strong I gotta focus on these songs but If you can't there always be a place At my table you'll have a plate And if we separate by some twisted fate Just know ill be there with open arms When we meet again In front of heaven's gate Man, all I ever wanted Was to see success Million-dollar checks To get my family outta debt No one depressed No one is stressed We just blessed Would never spend a dime To put some ice around my neck I never needed your respect All I ever wanted was to see success Million-dollar checks To get my family outta debt No one depressed No one is stressed We just blessed Would take my money And invest so When I'm laid to rest My kids will forever be set All I wanted was amillion-dollar check I put one on my ceiling Every time I sleep that's the last thing That I'm seeing I'm dreaming About the money It's funny, every time I close my eyes and start to visualize My own success All I see I happiness Whoever said that money Cant buy it was clearly lying Spent too many days crying Over bank statements Late payments Tryna talk to an agent There's a problem with Your food stamps so they wont Let you claim em you waiting on hold To be told there's nothing that we can do You would think that hearing this news Would weaken you But growing up rough Will break you down so much That you ain't got no choice But to build yourself up So, understand once I've made It none of it was luck Daily affirmations and mediation Helped me with my concentration Showed me that you need more Than determination if you plan to make it Belief you got it in your mind So, all you need to do is take it Man, all I ever wanted Was to see success Million-dollar checks To get my family outta debt No one depressed No one is stressed We just blessed Would never spend a dime To put some ice around my neck I never needed your respect All I ever wanted was to see success Million-dollar checks To get my family outta debt No one depressed No one is stressed We just blessed Would take my money And invest so When I'm laid to rest My kids will forever be set
