lyrics

(Verse 1 - Cam)
I'm just gonna do it
Whether it's been said or done to death
Or oven fresh
Let them hecklers know
You up to the test
And then prove it
Even the voiceless make music
Choices take choosing
So who’s in?
Put your life’s savings on the table
Toss your "die" in the air
They'll even repossess your soul
The odds aren't tryna be fair
Don't compromise your glimmer
Just to be admired by peers
You dying to make a living,
Then tell me, why are we here?

They wish you success on your quest,
And yet, wouldn't you know
They give you hell now you done
Got your foot in the door
Say you switched up your walk
Like it caught your toe
Talk like you have a top hat
And monocle
Very well, make it rain in vain,
I got my parasol
I’m making moves, y’all fools
Stuck on the carousel
Ride on, I’ma go ahead
And buy the park
Brag about your Titanic,
I'm reviving the Ark

(Pre-Chorus 2x)
I’ma keep at it (uh-huh)
Never be stagnant (nah-uh)
Beat sleep out my feet like my TV’s too static (ha-ha)
How the freak y’all can’t see I’m a maverick?
Y’all need to act your age, not your grade point average
Just do your job!

(Chorus - Samantha)
Just take your time
Faith in your grind
You got it right under control
The world is yours...

Pursue your dreams
Don't lose your steam
Don't let it com-pro-mise your soul
Just stay the course...

(Verse 2)
I ain't out to get it
I'm bout to get it
Quality over quantity
That's my algo-rhythm
Place your alphabets
Get it from A to Z
Streets paved with cheese
So go west, young Mousekawitz

Stack your mozzarella
Like there no cats in America
Let them rats stick to the trap
Don't let 'em disparage ya
Man I work hard,
Even when I'm hardly working
Every day in this life
Is a job for certain

Well call me berserk then
My goal in life is a hodgepodge
I'll glean my goldeneye over any ol' oddjobs
But don'tchu "twits" come @ me like I owe you a mention
That's like wanting the honor roll for perfect attendance

I help those that try to help themselves
That doesn't mean help yourself
Whippersnappers better not make me bring the belt
But even though it's not where you from, it’s where you at
I won’t forget the little people that carried me on their backs

(Pre-Chorus 2x)

(Chorus)

(Bridge - Sam)
Surely you will see the light
At the end of the tunnel
And when your train's come in
Just take your win
And remember to stay humble
Cuz
It's not about the des-tination
But about the storm
You weathered to chase it
If you wanna live
You gotta survive
Make every second count
In your 9 to 5

(Verse 3)
Soon they'll discover
That I ain't another
Flash in the pan
I'm busy trying to
Ignite it with
The ash in my hands
Like Prometheus
I'll sneak the torch
From the powers that be
And let these people know
How I reaped and sewed
These flowers to trees

So let's go, let's motivate
Motorcade,
Don’t got a boat or plane, then go train
Metro music for those who suffer the crappiest commutes
Petrol fluid for hustlers in their happiness pursuit
You'll reach the end of the carpal tunnel
But it'll take some time
Concrete jungles will make you sharp enough
To scrape the skies
Even the roughest diamonds take buffing to shine
True indeed
All an effort to make green
Doing things you'd do for free

Keep rising and grinding
While I check the time that I punched in
Hearing my peers whining
Their ship has sailed
I look into the horizon
I can see mine coming in but
...now I'm just wondering when
