| Listen up boys and girls once upon a time
|
| Lived a Chinese kid they told him he couldn’t rhyme
|
| There was only one thing that was steady on his mind
|
| That’s to try and get signed so he got heavy on his grind
|
| Sharpened up his skills machete’d every line
|
| Put 110% into it everytime
|
| Made it to the finals but never obtained a ring
|
| If he could go back he wouldn’t change a thing
|
| Seen the ups and downs not nervous don’t regret it
|
| Cause when you’re flying high turbulence is expected
|
| Why continue? |
| only he knows the real reason
|
| 10 years in the game and guess what he’s still breathin'
|
| You may think otherwise some say he’s a success
|
| Either way he just knows overall that he’s been blessed
|
| Who’s the Chinese kid you already might have guessed
|
| They say you live and you learn time to put it to the test
|
| I know you got dreams that you been chasing for a long time
|
| You been waiting but it starts to feel like such a long line
|
| Before you know it it becomes a love hate relationship
|
| Only just a few things that you can be so patient with «I can relate to it all I gotta say is have faith with it |
| Before homeplate you gotta hit first base with it
|
| An opportunity is only what you make of it
|
| Your birthday only comes once a year so have your cake with it
|
| Other than that don’t try to steal an extra slice
|
| It ain’t a million bucks but I offer you this advice
|
| Don’t ever take a handout why would you when you can stand out
|
| If you can t build a sand castle start with a sand house
|
| Work your way up from the bottom to the top
|
| You’ll never get there only if you stop
|
| All I’m tryin to do now is give them
|
| Somethin' they can feel
|
| Malik said it best «they can’t deny it when it’s real» |
