This song is definitely a symbol of my feelings, trials and tribulations during my school days but with a more focused and positive outlook on the obstacles I faced. At that time I couldn't verbalize my thoughts in this manner but this remains to be the translation of the experience.
lyrics
VERSE 1)
I was always the new on the block
Always stopped in hallways
Like I knew who shot pac
Judged before they know me
So I used what I got
Before the good got to going
Never knew if it would stop
Wore these burdens like new clothing
The fire remained hot
stayed the same and kept on glowing
I knew what I was not
And on cue with Decoding
Never knew the word STOP
Since the debut of the pro wings
Only Flew in few flocks
And .the review was provoking
not amused by the box
I choose to keep it rolling
So those crews could kick rocks
Duces to the controlling
And views of cyclops
And fools against the roaming
I'm in pursuit of my thoughts
So U Losers can keep on hoping
HOOK
VERSE 2)
I became deaf to the chit chat
Learned the best way to get them back
Is never quit Nor relax
Success is the payback
Don't carry that stressful backpack
That weight will make u collapse
Don't wait to get pass that
That laugh is the best attack
Give them nothing less than climax
Push the limit to the max
Gotta maintain in all climates
In it to win it leave them perplexed
Greatness is for the finest
Ugly is to distract
Excuses cause a blindness
crutches handicap
U Gotta be what u believe
Gotta aim to achieve
Gotta claim to succeed
Gotta make ur Destiny
I mean
It's gotta Rain to grow seeds
Gotta know pain to know sweet
Gotta maintain and proceed
To gain what u need
