Stress added up but the years I wasn’t counting
Looking for a lesson but it’s lost in the surroundings
Earning admiration but the money ain’t amounting
Meanwhile people wonder why I stopped freestyling
Dying inside dying just to rhyme
And the whole time scared that I was dying on the vine
Cloudy head belly full of wine
Trying to bring out the dead but the funeral was mine
A slow death, poor intuition
Tried to argue with myself neither one of us would listen
I took a step now I’m stuck in one position
And the only person left is the woman in my visions
I saw the future and I looked over her shoulder
Finally got a peek at what she’s holding
But I had to get up off the ground to get golden
So a brother migrated west and my wings unfolded

When your head gets low taking the long road
When your shoes get holes chasing a fools gold
When you lose everything you can’t hold
What’s left? That’s soul. That’s soul.
Hard days long nights get cold
Live life real stripes get those
Hustle through the pain, a struggle to behold
Never fold greatest story ever told about Soul

About to make moves in the city by the setting sun
Planned to be a lot of things being hungry wasn’t one
If not for the glory why come?
I gave myself a year to make some noise and I did in under one
Trying to stack funds you think I’m living good?
Placement on a major show still sleeping on the floor in Hollywood?
All In was the slogan they understood
Now they want to know if I’m ‘a fold because they probably would
No likelihood very little merit
I was strengthened by pain every scar I cherish
Struggle I share it heavy crown I wear it
The world could never keep me down, though my shoulders do bear it
And I will inherit however I’m never meek
Schemers never need a dream you wonder why I rarely sleep
Full force my collision course with destiny
I hit the peddle full speed and promised I would never blink

On the sideline waiting for my introduction
No bluff giving up no discussion
One fear and it wasn’t my destruction
I was terrified of being everything and having nothing
So I was chasing lady luck until I caught her
And I gave my all to everything I was a part of
Sacrificed time but didn’t want to be a martyr
Mind got smarter so I came back harder
Yeah I had them days I was tired
And thought I would expire but the devil is a liar
So Lucky will be gone before I’ll ever be retired
But I promise to continue making music only when I am inspired
My entire future was grim
Until I took it up higher threw caution to the wind
Fly high, breathe in
When the last breath leaves I won’t fall even then
