Win From Within (Intro)

I'm like, a loaded shotgun to a flock full of Geese

Makin sales in the staircase where I watch for the D's

And now I'm focused on better living and laughing at defeat

'Cause way before a rap beat my face was on a rap sheet

It's the sole vocal terrorist, I'm here to break the news again

You know I'm the Elephant in every single room I'm in

I been doin this for the love and now it's lucrative

These **** doubted me now I'm wanted like a fugitive

The Special Breed stop thinkin you can't bleed

You can't compare your style equivalent to special needs

Feudal got the trophy ya just fightin' for second seed

And fuck a hitman against me death is guarenteed

I went from college plans to accumulating fans

Used to bag up the grams and did a few bank scams

Illegal activities often part of my plans

But you'll never gain a reward if avoid taking the chance

I often sit and wonder, if y'all are worth the effort

Ya Jokers are Jared Leto next to Heath Ledger

Two options; crack or form a diamond under pressure

I hear the birds chirping I had to ruffle some feathers

And I still persevered in the harshest location

With home visits and drug tests from probation

I couldn't slip up, my P.O was patiently waiting

Tryna send me to same prison my uncle had stayed in

I couldn't fathom it, this high school graduate

Fell into a pit, that sadly wasn't Lazarus

Moms grilled me in courtroom it was embarrassing

I seen her praying so much she almost brought the pastor in

No academic or no basketball scholarship

I owe to this my momma, for all the broken promises

I'm still breaking barriers when they tried to box me in

They doubted the effort now they over there copying

I'm like a lost diamond you could find me in the dirt

You was gon' throw me in the water till you found out what I'm worth

I been this way since birth, had to visualize it first

I got type blessings I couldn't pray about in church

I remember those Winters when I didn't have a coat

Just a jacket and some sneakers I was praying it didn't snow

But my stomach rumbling, ribs touching I'm on the go

And they tossin lil bread but ambition is for the loaf

My thoughts often cloudy this mic is for ventilation

My fam is god praisin' while Shogun was hell adjacent

Built my character from the issues I was faced with

Now I'm at the dinner table , success is what I'm craving
