BEGINNING TO PRESENT

I see people passing me up damn near every single day
yet I stick with chasing my own dreams this is what I say

"Damn right I got to do it, I need to become the best
I mean look as of right now I just right now need to confess"

See Thomas was 1st he gave me a chance to climb a little higher
Scott took me, it was an extra spot on Lizzy McGuire
& right then and there is when my heart caught on fire

That was a little under ten years ago & the fire only grew hotter
My talent & passion as well as mindset became a lot smarter
But see now I'm without Thomas & Scott so the game is harder
So I pray to him my True & God Father

"Dear lord,
Please watch over & guide me through these Hollywood scripts
Nurture my heart & forever tend to this complicated gift
See father it is you who I share my heart with
& I know that my sins are often self conflicted slips
Yet I want & need you to understand this
I am forever your learning child whom without you is nothing legit
So for you're love & forgiveness I will never quit
Just help guide me lord again I will never quit
Amen"

See that's the cry I speak damn near every second of 24 hours
I lace up my cape & use words to take shape of my powers
& when it comes to my grind its never mistake mine for "ours"
Hell I remember sleeping in my car during 09 showers

Just so I wouldn't be viewed as a boy far too scared to go home
Couldn't rely on my dad plus my moms is literally sick in her dome
& I guess this is what it takes to turn a chair into a throne
God never said it would be easy just stated I wouldn't be alone
I mean fuck it took longer than a single day alone to build Rome

So by this fact alone I sit as ease for my own grind is on the rise
When I take his Hollywood shit over don't act like your surprised
