Determined

"I want to describe my discovery in the simplest terms possible

because it will reveal to you why it is true

that whatever the mind can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve

regardless of how many times you have failed in the past

or how lofty your aims and hopes may be"

Go getter, with no cheddar

Just a white tee and a swap meet sweater

My life is likely to see great endeavors

But I can't win if I can't get it together

What I gotta do in order to see success?

Having the world's best to call me the best

Pull up at the Grammy Awards as best-dressed

with an address next to a beautiful actress

A dollar and a dream, I feel J. Cole

Word to the hole in my pocket and the hoes

that don't wanna fuck with a broke nigga with ambition

But the last I checked, y'all was broke bitches

Make a name for myself

then bubble like the ass of Buffy when she wearing a tight belt

The homies on the block can say whatever they say

I don't wanna be a killer, I wanna be a Gates

Take your time, it'll come

Just stay focussed and humble my son

Show and prove, prove you're the one

It's not about who's dope, it's who wants it the most

So just go out and get it

Go out and get it

Go out and get it

Go out and get it

What I gotta do in order to see success?

Having the world's best to call me the best

Pull up at the Grammy Awards as best-dressed

with an address next to a beautiful actress

Do I gotta run in your spot and blasting?

Better yet, rob the nearest Nix Check Cashing

Hear a hustle from a nigga that's constantly bragging

Catch him at the light, snatch him out his Jeep wagon

Or maybe I gotta hook up with Jose

Cop five bricks of the yay, head to the Bay

Area, or carry the birds to the gate

Let the clips distribute the work all day

Then come back home

Every three weeks, flip three-to-six zones

Homies on the block can say whatever they want

I don't wanna be a dealer, I wanna be a Trump

Donald that is

Take your time, it'll come

Just stay focussed and humble my son

Show and prove, prove you're the one

It's not about who's dope, it's who wants it the most

So just go out and get it

Go out and get it

Go out and get it

Go out and get it

And when I do it, I do it again, then I go back

When I do it, I'll do it again, then I go back

Thug it out, but for now I'm willing to dug it out

I gotta grind, grind

So welcome to the story of my life

See I'm tryna get right off the shit that I write

Make a fortune, buy some Porsches for my momma and the wife

Pop's engine in this old school run tight!

But as you listening to K. D-O-T

Me and my girl split the bucket at KFC

She listening to Drake and all I can say

Damn, these niggas that much better than me?

Baby, I don't think this is meant to be

cause I'm always losing self-esteem

She paused the iPhone, then said huh

I repeated what I said, then she replied shut up

You know you the best boy, you gotta keep doing it

But don't forget when you do, just keep you in it

And never listen to what the industry say

Don't be a typical artist, be more like Jay

Russell, Barry Gordy, Quincy Jones

Bob Johnson, Sean Combs, L.A. Reid

Young black entrepreneurs did what it took to succeed, yeah

So I gotta see success

I gotta make it off them Rosecrans steps

Rising to the top like a soda shook up

Bout to pop, and I'll pop on whoever's in my way

Take your time, it'll come

Just stay focussed and humble my son

Show and prove, prove you're the one

It's not about who's dope, it's who wants it the most

So just go out and get it

Go out and get it

Go out and get it

Go out and get it

Yeah, I swear to God I don't wanna do it, just live man

I wanna live good

Just wanna make my momma proud, y'know?

I don't wanna be hard, I don't want the most stripes

I got lil' brothers and sisters man, I'm the oldest nigga

I just want it, I just want it

and I'ma get it
