Текст песни The ILLZ — Persistence

I said
why bother being hopeless
aiming for the top i'm too focused
to wonder why these people never noticed
had a revelation
right before i sat and wrote this
thinking where i been and what i had to do before this
had to tell my brutha C
before you go and record this
let my heart be the beat
soul be the chorus
saying time flies
while i'm staring at my oris
i ain't walked through but i can show you where the door is
means i know exactly
where i gotta go
it takes time though
yo how that line go?
always look ahead do what you gotta do
nothing can stop a man with the right mental attitude
and nothing can help a man that carries the wrong one
they better sit tight
its gone be a long one
they say it ain't over till the fat lady sings
well I am a be right here for when her songs done
so let me state for the record that homey listen up
You cannot say my name in the same sentence as giving up
Cause right when you get the thought like
is this enough
theres always something that comes around and will lift him up
want negativity then go and check the news
its essential having clarity i never feel confused
you ever felt like its impossible to lose
having happiness or money its impossible to choose
live righteous
atleast i try to
you can really do anything you decide to
use my voice as a vehicle let it drive you
the potential to win u got it inside you
one stare you can see that living inside me
is a level of greatness thats always rising
on the way to the top is where u can find me
i won't talk i'll just let the music define me
