Meant To Be

[Hook: Akie Bermiss]
Don't waste your time
With all the things you've never done
There ain't no prize
For the best that never was
I made my life
Broken hearts and lonely nights
Can't change my mind
This is who I'm meant to be

[Verse 1: Soul Khan]
Now can I get an amen from the people of earth
Cause I know y'all ain't getting all the things you deserve
Whether you kneeling with the imam or seated in church
I'mma die before I let you put your dream in reverse
Now, I apologize if that sounds a little corny
I'm just trying to wipe away the tears from your cornea
So you can stand strong when nobody's supporting you
You ain't gotta fire one shot to be a warrior
I been in that tunnel where the lights stop
Stomach in a tight knot
Wondering if got a second chance
I bit the bullet like I'm tai mak
So when they put me in a pine box
They can say I was a better man
You might forget it for now cause you ain't ever allowed
To let the rest of your body follow your head in the clouds
I'm here to bury my regrets in the ground
And stay smiling while I'm wilding with my testicles out

[Hook]

[Verse 2]
See if it wasn't for rap, then I'd have prolly been in politics
With headlines in the times and the economist
I'd be a shelltoed version of Wellstone
Committed to help folks that otherwise would call it quits
If I never got threatened by the school lockers
I never would have turned into such a smooth talker
Back then I let 'em win like they were chewbacca
It's only worth a few notches if they 2Pac ya
To the females that made me a fool
And to every bartenders that gave me a stool
Might have been a long trip but you gave me the fuel
So I could stay fly like the avian flu
If I hadn't gone to college for that fast life
Maybe I'd have been with my grandma on her last night
But she said I'd be the greatest
So that means that when you play this
Then all you do is prove that she was damn right
