Reasons

I never took a short path nowhere
All I've ever known was potholes
And certain bros that used to sit Around with No care
Too scared to ever say we went there
But I broke the chains
I can show you I got no fear!
When I come around
Its all bout making impressions
Plant a little seed that just might Change your Perception
Be all you can be
I've heard that since adolescence
We need something real
That cuts steel
And that's pressure
Cuz pressure makes diamonds and
I'm tryna be clean and flawless
Sticking to their script was Something I could Never follow
I just had to do my own thing
Make my own way
Knew that if I ever fell off I'd be ok
Now I got a hundred reasons
To make sure I make it home
Baby's on the way
So I'm calling different plays
I be feeling so amazed
When I know I'm in my zone
Time to double up
I be feeling like a clone
I was led astray
So now I get it on my own
Tables steady turning
Tryna make it hard to thrive
But from where I'm standing I can see how Much I've grown
I knew I had potential I just needed Reasons why

One make sure that my family stay Safe
Two make sure they got food on the Plate
Three always look for ways I can Improve
This my life I ain't got nothin' to lose
Four make sure that vision always Pans out
Five never try to fit in, I just stand Out
Six make sure that your circle is legit
Watch for snakes
You don't wanna get bit

Tell me what's the deal
Ima tell you how I feel
I'm feeling like the man
I just tell it like it is
I just hope you understand
We got so much shit to live for
Tell me what's your reason for Progression
In this cold world
Cuz I know women right now dealing with Depression
I know men right now searching for Direction.
Feeling so trapped with no way they Can express it
No one cares to listen so it leaves Them feeling helpless
It's a large gap between living out our Dreams
And hiding all our problems that the World will never see
Just remember why you started off in The first Place
I know it hurts your heart and breaks You down in the worst ways
But I been through some storms
Let me guide you to the light
Got it own my own
I just had to take flight
Didn't really matter that no one was In my Corner
All that ever did was put a chip up on My shoulder

One make sure that my family stay Safe
Two make sure they got food on the Plate
Three always look for ways I can Improve
This my life I ain't got nothin' to lose
Four make sure that vision always Pans out
Five never try to fit in, I just stand Out
Six make sure that your circle is legit
Watch for snakes
You don't wanna get bit

This my reason for living
This my reason for giving
Never cutting these corners
We gotta stick to the mission
I just attack with precision
No doubt I'm lyrically gifted
Before I finish a sentence
My next one already written
I ain't chasing the fame
I'm just speaking my mind
If you feel the way I feel
That means our stars are aligned
If you live the way I live
That means your life is a grind
Put the pedal to the metal
Pretty soon you'll be flyin'
We won't stop for a while
Gotta keep up the pace
We be working night and day
They just keep raising the stakes
I can spot if you fake
The stinch of envy and hate
Wasn't there from the jump
You see that I'm bout to blow
You sit and smile in my face
But see I already know
We ain't wasting a second
You just get kicked to the curb
We just get better wit time
Like We're extending our prime
Let look for reasons for living
Instead of reasons to die

One make sure that my family stay Safe
Two make sure they got food on the Plate
Three always look for ways I can Improve
This my life I ain't got nothin' to lose
Four make sure that vision always Pans out
Five never try to fit in I just stand out
Six make sure that your circle is legit
Watch for snakes
You don't wanna get bit
