Lyrics

From the moment I came out the womb,
Until the moment that they put me in a tomb.
I do my thing, not a moment second guessing
And God's bestowed upon my life, so many blessings

From the house where I learned everything I know
And ideal surroundings for a child to grow
To the family from which I was born and raised
And the friends that I've had the honor to have made.

I gotta say man, I have it pretty good
Living Hakuna Matata, I never grew up in the hood
Worrying about what to eat, or what I would wear
I basically had the luxury to not be scared

Of anything life offered, hit me with your best shot
The script is blank so I'm writing my own plot
So when I sleep, I'll be greeted with good dreams
Instead of nightmares that'll make me scream

And shout out loud while I'm up in the clouds.
Working towards my dreams, I'll do my family proud.
Gravity won't kill me when I'm coming down
A smile shines like a beacon in a sea of frowns.

Writing these rhymes in the back of the class
'Cause time goes slow and the days still pass.
The grain still falls through the hourglass
Well fuck that, sorry if I sound crass

I just know I'm headed for something greater
As I move these words, from my mind to the paper.
I'm trying to be an all trades kind of Jack.
I might be a punk, but I'm really not daft.

This ain't a house of cards, I haven't told a lot of lies
So much ambition, can't you see it in my eyes?
No failure, just keep trying, that's the way to go
I may change but I'm never selling my soul.

It's not the goal, just the product of a circumstance
I ain't chasing fame in my rear view, I'll just take a glance
If I have the opportunity, I'd take the chance.
I'd enhance my family's lives with my advance.

But I wouldn't get it via a deal with the Devil.
Going to Hell is was below my level.
Keep up my God so he doesn't get vengeful.
But, it's so hard to measure

How will I change, for better or for worse?
Will I travel in a Benz or in the back of a hearse?
Will it rearrange my whole construction?
Or bring about my assured destruction?

I can't give you the answer 'til my journey is done.
Will a be a casualty, or will the battle be won?
But when the time arrives, just remember though.
I may change, but I'm never selling my soul!
