Verse 2 Some want money/and others want fame/I just wanna crave my name up in the game/ And show that I changed/and learned to walk away/I only move forward/it’s the only way/ I never had luck as I went my own way/I just had the will to persevere through the pain/ Learnin’ from the greats/watchin’ for the fakes/now I’m ‘bout to rise/hold me back but you can’t/ Cause I’m liftin’ all the weight/ignoring what’s at stake/alotta people underestimate but I can’t/ Lead with my fate/tunnel through the hate/now they wanna smile/shake my hand but they ain’t/ They came too late/I’m callin’ checkmate/you burnt that bridge/now you own that mistake/ I saw your ways/tryin’ to invade/infect my vision/man I’m not gettin’ played/ Cause I’m goin’ all the way/fightin’ what you say/steady believin’ even if it means to my grave/ Never will cave/my heart remains brave/amongst the thoughts/you’ve been tryin’ to engrave/ I will not be enslaved/I’ve come a long way/the trail that I leave in the end will amaze/ I’ll never be phased/confined to your ways/I close my eyes and let my heart guide the way. ℗ © 2017 JRS/Line Slayer.
