Lyrics

They say I'm wasting my time
Want me to go get a job
Like everybody else
Say life will be better
If I put my dreams on the shelf
Like everybody else
Just play by the rules
Don't wanna be 42
Still tryna figure out what to do
But this all I wanna do
They say I'm wasting my time
Want me to go get a job
Like everybody else
Say life will be better
If I put my dreams on the shelf
Like everybody else
Just play by the rules
Don't wanna be 42
Still tryna figure out what to do
But this all I wanna do
My patience
Gon' lead me to greatness
Cause I trusted in God
And just waited
It took preparation
Commitment, and dedication
I been prepared
So I won't fold
For the devil, and all his tricks
Committed to God
He know how I'm ridin
Dedicated to finish the mission
Truth be told
We at war for our souls
But they don't socialize that
Tryna keep us off track
So they blind us with the media
So you don't see how they treatin' us
Everything a joke till you look at life
Through a real scope with good focus
Been through so much but you can't notice
Cause I moved past it
And now I no longer look backwards
That's how you end up backtracking
But that won't happen with me
I gotta keep moving forward
All aboard
My dreams in reach
So I'm going for it
They say I'm wasting my time
Want me to go get a job
Like everybody else
Say life will be better
If I put my dreams on the shelf
Like everybody else
Just play by the rules
Don't wanna be 42
Still tryna figure out what to do
But this all I wanna do
They say I'm wasting my time
Want me to go get a job
Like everybody else
Say life will be better
If I put my dreams on the shelf
Like everybody else
Just play by the rules
Don't wanna be 42
Still tryna figure out what to do
But this all I wanna do
Tex
Fortune favors the brave
Recording made me a household name
Where I'm from
The name of the game
Is to get paid where I'm from
So if you tryna be an artist
It's one of the hardest missions
When you're misunderstood
Even when we just started
And we needed knowledge
We would go and listen to Jug
But we created our own sound
Had to grow up, we grown now
Even as a kid, I was a golden child
Recording in the room
Mama tellin us to hold it down
She at work
But this what we wanna do
And it's ups and downs
When you really made it from the dirt
**** be tryna make fun of ya clothes
When you gotta wear the same shirt
But don't get placed on a shirt
Cause a **** try to play with me, get hurt
You better stay away from the turf
If you scared, you'll be safer at the church
But I gotta pray to God for the better
Cause I know some **** praying for the worst
And I'm tryna break my family out the curse, but
They say I'm wasting my time
Want me to go get a job
Like everybody else
Say life will be better
If I put my dreams on the shelf
Like everybody else
Just play by the rules
Don't wanna be 42
Still tryna figure out what to do
But this all I wanna do
They say I'm wasting my time
Want me to go get a job
Like everybody else
Say life will be better
If I put my dreams on the shelf
Like everybody else
Just play by the rules
Don't wanna be 42
Still tryna figure out what to do
But this all I wanna do
