Don't Know

and this is for the ones who told me that I could do it

And this is for the ones to told me to go through it

through the grind and the hard work and the tears blood and sweat

To pursue my dreams as an artist winning grammys and shit

walking on the red carpet and posing for all these pictures

taken by paparazzi and brothers with crazy sisters

Drinking coffee with Lupe Fiasco and J Cole and Logic

Cracking Jokes till the evening with not a worry in my conscience

 

That's the dream life that I've been longing to live

A famous artist living lavishly with a wife and 2 kids

But right now I'm just an irrelevant young boy with an aspiriration

to change the game, maim the fakes,

and be named only the greatest

Of all time

the Micheal of Rap

Jordan or Jackson it doesn't matter just wait on me up till I snap

I may be all talk for now

but follow me and I promise

I promise that the ones who struggle now will later be paid homage

But please do keep in mind I rap not only for the profit

I write my lines as a forgotten novice tryna stay honest

to myself and eventually pray to be known as a flawless

rapper spitting the hottest flames packing more heat than comets

All praise due to Allah and Muhammad as his prophet

Grateful for every drop of water till the day i'm laid my coffin

weather it come from a bottle or it had come from a faucet

weather It's paid for from wallets or barley paid for from pockets

Wheather it's drunk form a broken glass or sipped from a gobelt

Even if I happen to accidentally drop it

That drop of water represents every bit of my knowledge

and I won't ever allow myself to do something like toss it

away down the drain and leave myself at a loss

But they say fame comes not only with a price but also a cost

Hard to leave the ones you love, almost puts you in shock

and makes you realize that your risking everything for this

 

one shot

one shot

one shot

Risking everything for this

 

one shot

one shot

one shot

You're risking everything for this

 

One shot so you best believe in it

This isn't close to the finish, in fact it's the beginning

tryna get even closer to god but I keep sinning

no matter how much you miss the jackpot you should keep hitting

 

And hope for the best

don't worry bout the rest

In order to be successful

Only focus on yourself

 

Cause what matters is what you input into your music

Showing emotion with your words and how you use them

Words can change a person for the better or for the worse

Words can free one's soul or leave it chained down to a curse

 

Words can change the world

Words can prevent violence

Words can avoid death

And words break the silence

 

Future generations hear my cries of desperation

Each and every one of you can avoid deprivation

Steer away from all the good looking temptations

made by your peers and friends who want you to fail blatantly

Can't you see

Our society made to keep the higher-ups pleased

The only solution is to move higher up

Kinda sucks but but we've got no choice but to suck it up

Hold it in and push forward

Throughout each and every quarter

of the game no matter how much you are being tortured

Cause we all do it, we do it for a cause

We're taking a huge risk, we're taking that One Shot

One Shot

One Shot

One Shot

Every one of us taking that One Shot

One Shot

One Shot
