Ain't nothin' wrong with the aim, just gotta change the target.
You can put a new shirt on your back, slide a fresh chain around your neck, and accumulate all the money and power in the world, but at the end of the day those are just layers. Money and power don't change you, they just further expose your true self.
You can pay for school, but you can't buy class
Everybody can tell you how to do it but they never done it
I seen the worst of the worst. I deserve every blessing I receive I'm from the dirt.
Don't ever go with the flow. Be the flow.
I'm hungry for knowledge. The whole thing is to learn every day, to get brighter and brighter.
You not feeling me, fine. It costs you nothing, pay me no mind..
A wise man told me don't argue with fools. Cause people from a distance can't tell who is who.
Identity is a prison you can never escape, but the way to redeem your past is not to run from it, but to try to understand it, and use it as a foundation to grow.
Everybody look at you strange, say you changed Like you work that hard to stay the same.
Remind yourself. Nobody built like you, you design yourself.
Don't tell me what was said about me. Tell me why they were so comfortable to say it to you.
