It’s A Big Deal

Now I’ve been in this business a long time
God gave me the gift of a strong mind
And when I step foot on the path
The good and the bad they just combine
Never done trying
I do it I do it till each time I do it it’s done right
And God left his signature on me so how can I ever be unsigned?
See everyone has got a gift
Not anonymous but God given
Don’t know why they mislabel it as a hobby working as a lobbyist
It’s obvious you hate the job
Until you chase a dream you won’t be nothing but a hobbyist
I'mma need you to wake up
Look at the numbers on your paystub
Tell me you’re doing exactly what you dreamed you’d be doing when you were young and gettin paid to do it
Oh I’ll wait
I might get an answer from 10 out of a hundred and that’s just a waste our gifts
God put us all on this earth for a reason
Unique to each person
Have faith that it lives
Embrace it
Don’t be afraid if you fail
The biggest mistake you can make is to quit
The most incredible gift we’ve been given is time
And people are wasting this
You see myself when I was born I had deformities
I wasn’t normal made abnormal noises
No normally I would conform and take the medicine to make me normal
But it made me sort of feel like I was orbiting
So I’m ignoring them and I’m exploring me
Now I found a way to soar
Instead of being grounded by the normalities
I can’t afford to be like you with them
Cause I’m not ordinary
I don’t want to be a portion of your damn majority
I want to be unique
Got more than my kid I can teach
I want you to hear when I speak
I want to free
People in prison by stigmas and popular common beliefs
Don’t want you to think
I want you to feel
Look down inside you and tell me what’s real
If you’re unsure then you’re uncured
We only get one life man
It’s a big deal
Do you love what you do?
Is it nothing to you?
Working from nine until five
If you’re late then you’re fired
By people who don’t give a fuck if it’s you or the next man who done what you do
And you put your life in this shit?
And in forty years later retire with nothing to do?
I don’t know about you but to me and my God I got something to prove
I’ve got no time for the negative
Life’s what you label it
Made up my mind no debatin it
I’mma just aim at it
I got my eye on it until I arrive
Then I’m taking it
Fight every day for this
But that’s life, I’m okay with it
Look you want something?
Got to stay with it
What’s the difference between me and them?
Nothing, except I did it, and they didn’t
You try to go do it
I don’t try I go do it
I got my mind on my music
I’mma keep fightin, ignitin this fire inside me because I feel alive when I do it
I don’t have time for excuses
I don’t have time for you if you have time for excuses
And when I’m 80, ask me what I did with the time in my life
I’ll reply with I used it
No regrets, no regrets
People want change
They're so one day
People want to run the game
Never broke a sweat
Yet people do the same things to no effect
And they’re so stressed livin check to check
But don’t see they’ve got life and they’re so blessed
And when you’re 80 and I ask you what you did with the time in your life, will you reply "I don’t know yet"?
That gives me the chills
Shit’s getting real
We’re not getting younger
And if you feel how I feel every day is a blessing
I’m blessed to be stressed by these bills
Don’t want you to think
I want you to feel
Look down inside you and tell me what’s real
If you’re unsure then you’re uncured
We only get one life man
It’s a big deal
Do you love what you do?
Is it nothing to you?
Working from nine until five if you’re late then you’re fired by people who don’t give a fuck if it’s you or the next man who done what you do
And you put your life in this shit?
And in forty years later retire with nothing to do?
I don’t know about you but to me and my God I got something to prove
