FWYA

[Verse 1]
(Ay) Look, I would sit at home for hours convinced that I lost it
Another sad boy from Camden, interiors faucet
Look at me, in the city, bright lights and ulterior motives
January, snow, trench coat, I feel the coldest
Heavy on my shoulders, why I feel so fucking hopeless?
You should own a couple quarters, that ain't what they taught us
Forty acres and a mule, rather minuscule
Scratch that, I could fit a farm, studio, sauna, and a pool
Dreaming 'bout the future and everything I been in to, bending rules
I'm supposed to be in college but instead I made a move
Felt like Bishop in Juice, I ain't have too much to lose (no I didn't)
So instead I chose a room
In that room was a laptop and a notebook to consume
Everything I been dreamed of was finally coming true
I looked up in to the sky, said "God this must be you"

[Chorus]
Jumped out the bed, I want to get straight to work
Did a little molly, but I never did a perk
Nah, dirt on my shirt
I ain't never gonna' stop 'til it's clean
Get a broom, get a mop, what you mean?
Persistence is key, meditate on that
Persistence is key, meditate on that
You can start living dreams, right from where you at, nigga (where you at)
Right from where you at (from where you at)

[Verse 2]
At the house, 6AM, I'm just waking up
I wake up before the sun cause I don't make enough
Boy don't settle, you bound to break out of the ghetto
Bunch of niggas, coulda' woulda'
This not a Disney movie, boys grow in to men
I started thinking like Geppetto, tools in my hand
No dirt on your hands, no food on your plate
African proverbs, I heard
Work for what you deserve
Trust not given but earned
Why everybody act like putting in the work is absurd?
I don't have an answer to that fucking question, ya heard?
All I can tell you is
Success is strenuous
You couldn't prepare for this
I couldn't prepare to be the man I am today
No I couldn't, but I did it anyway
Made mistakes, still I'm great, it was fate, I'm a king
I don't think I make mistakes
So believe me when I say
You'll be great from where you stay
Meditate and find a way

[Chorus]
Jumped out the bed, I want to get straight to work
Did a little molly, but I never did a perk
Nah, dirt on my shirt
I ain't never gonna' stop 'til it's clean
Get a broom, get a mop, what you mean?
Persistence is key, meditate on that
Persistence is key, meditate on that
You can start living dreams, right from where you at, nigga (where you at)
Right from where you at (from where you at)
