Let Your Inner Show

[Intro]
I had to work for everything I had
It was no easy route
A lot of haters, A lot of doubters
I had to work through everything
All the adversity
All the hate
Look where I'm at now
There's no stopping me

[Verse 1]
Look
I got a dream that need fulfillin', tryna fill in the blanks
And when I'm feelin' at my lowest, rhyme my only escape
Dealt wit the pain and hate
I know when love isn't fake
I know who cares and who deceivin' when they smile in my face
Who want me dead or want me breathin' as I finish my race
They said my chances were slim, I told them niggas "okay"
Cuz Ion need no negativity, the rhymes flowin' through me like electricity
Get out my vicinity, nigga that shit is killin' me
I'm just tryna fly
But first I gotta survive
It's like I feel most alive when I'm prayin' that ion die
This shit is a sacrifice
I put it all on the line
Time is never on my side, so I cannot hide
Gotta oblige
It's now or never, Mary J Blige
And when I finish wit this shit, I bet all you niggas applaud
Just a nigga from the city wit bigger dreams than Jay's
Tryna reach em as I cherish these days

[Hook]
Gotta write your name in stone
Keep it real to the bone
When it's all said and done
You the only one you know
Gotta let your inner show (Gotta let your inner show)
Gotta let your inner show (Gotta let your inner show)

Gotta write your name in stone
Keep it real to the bone
When it's all said and done
You the only one you know
Gotta let your inner show (Gotta let your inner show)
Gotta let your inner show (Gotta let your inner show)

[Verse 2]
Some people say that it's impossible, some people say it is
Give a fuck about a probability they finna give
Cuz I'm provin' niggas wrong, debatin' is over wit
I never needed no clique
I set the bar in this shit
No bars is harder than this
Spit my wit, only the real gon understand me
Tryna make it big so I can't focus on no plan b
Go from up and comin' to nominated for Grammys
I'm takin' what they ain't hand me
I'm making it, word to granny
I was so lost
Had to hustle for something just to be my own boss
Doin' shit at my own cost
It was hard, never easy for me
I don't know where a nigga be if it was easy for me
I put my pain in every lyric
You hear it?
And failin', I never fear it
I never needed nobody to ever give me no clearance
A nigga strivin' for greatness, I dare somebody to stop me
I'm stayin' true to myself, runnin' up them stairs like I'm rocky

[Bridge]
Yeah
Struggled for a while, yeah
Had to journey through the extra mile, yeah
Hope that I could make it worth while, yeah
Facin' tribulations and them trials, yeah
Had to make my way up through the pavement
Niggas never knew what we was facin'
I got sick and tired of that waitin'
Just wanna tell my momma that I made it

[Hook]
Gotta write your name in stone
Keep it real to the bone
When it's all said and done
You the only one you know
Gotta let your inner show
Gotta let your inner show

Gotta write your name in stone
Keep it real to the bone
When it's all said and done
You the only one you know
Gotta let your inner show
Gotta let your inner show
