Doubting Young

(pre-hook)

 

getting up, getting up, getting to the roof

you can reach that dream boy you can touch that hoop

rappers reached their dreams inspired by truth

you can do that boy boy touch that hoop

 

(verse 1)

 

it seems that hoop dreams are harder than it appears

but don’t live in your biggest fear,

of failure, keep your mind set,

on the success, not the upsets,

keep working and the weight will get off your chest

keep it real, keep it real,

thats what they say cause you want kobe’s skill

they got as much sense as the devils deal

saying they think they real life,

cause you want your name on reel ‘lights uh

feel like the next mike

you know your right

if you think it's right

you'll be taking flight

in a given night

but it doesn't come easy

gotta put in the work and never be sleazy

be a team player,

and you'll have a picture, of your lead layup, on a kids wall just like yours

a fighting cause

becoming the idol of young boys

is what you’re fighting for

so put your mind to it and open doors

 

(hook)

 

getting up, getting up getting to the roof

you can reach that dream boy you can touch that hoop

rappers reached their dreams inspired by truth

you can do that boy boy touch that hoop

 

girl keep dreaming, you'll be on stage

don't stress about the time or age

just remember me when you make the pages

yeah

just remember me when you make the pages

you'll be there one day

 

(verse 2)

 

it don't matter if you ain't into classic songs

or ain't practiced long

you'll be singing for long

cause it's a passion

that you grab to

and a matter of fact you can do

I don't doubt you

we don't doubt you

we've all been kicked to the ground too

but stay focused

on a singing career it's an obstacle

but it’s possible, could be something you and I could do

young girl I’ll be telling you

not to lose your mind too

like when whitney lost her mind

ignore the stop sign

given by the oppressed side

fill in the lines with your skill and beauty

instead of being distracted by the boys chasing ya booty

what’s it to me?

couldn’t tell you but id love to say

“i know that girl up there her soul to stay”

and if they listened to my songs they’d pray

cause they better be thinking of you in a better way

everyday

you have work to do

you have work to do

but ain't nobody hurting you

they’ll learn from you

like the tale of god’s son they’ve heard of you

feed them too much and they’ll murder you

we know you’re strong, push through

when you hit the top, look down thinking if only they knew
