Chorus

I do it for my family, I do it for my people.
I do it for them kids who surrounded by some evil.
The World done did you wrong but I'm here to let you know.
God put me here to show you anyone can grow.
Put ya mind to it and you'll make it out them projects.
Keep it focused on the grind, not inanimate objects.
Whatever it requires climb on then climb higher.
Pass it on along until everyone's inspired.


So many times so many ask why.
What's the reason you don't give up you really think you'll survive?
This industry will eat, spit, eat you again while you alive.
My response is always the same, you think that i shouldn't try?
Do I look like a quitter if so my face is a lie.
The spirit of an eagle, was born just so I could fly.
Looking out Southwest Airlines windows thinking bout how I'm so close to God.
Loving this life I'm in but not being afraid die.
That's the motto I love by do all ya can with the time.
Go for whatcha don't know keep ya head up straighten ya spine.
Regardless if first you fail or find yourself in a bind.
What doesn't kill you makes you human, despite winning or losin.
An optimistic approach on life can be extremely soothing.
No need to be angry or sad from hatred heartache confusion.
We all just tryna make it, so live how you're supposed to.
Treat others with respect and love hard on the ones ya close to.


Chorus


South California dreams of giving my family everything.
Like a disease when chasing after the fame and the money.
Worried bout goin hungry but gotta keep making tracks.
Cuz lord knows I must support the ones who always had my back.
The same few that defended me when I was under attack.
Just gotta git em a whip, just gotta cut em some slack.
Partying and shenanigans gon have to cut it out.
At least until both my parents live in a paid off house.
Family first is basically what this guy is about.
Back breaking labor and nights without sleep to put food in my mouth.
Half my years in the north, the other half in the south.
Amazing how being raised different ways can make a change,
For the better, due to exposure to other weather,
Which transforms torn cloth into heated and cooled leather.
Had to put my foot to the petal and reach for the top speed.
The only person standing in My way is Me.
