They tell me life is short
In the blink of an eye we come and die
Keep it in mind that life is war
Stay grounded, fly and soar
Always know what you fighting for
Aging fast, gotta pave a path and go figure out what my life is for
Quick witted and everyday I gotta switch lanes
F*ck race, no pigment
I got thick skin, making big waves
Positive being positive is my legacy
Pray for me, or make way for me
Because I'm setting out to go change the earth, and I just may
My life is was I call it, and I call it successful
Now everybody wanna eyeball it, like ͞"how the f*ck he do that though?͟"
Take pride in your every action
Everyday of my life is work
They say time is money and I know what that time is worth

Even if the sky was falling down
Even if the sky was falling, I'm not falling down
I stand tall through it all, I've risked too much to just give up now
I'm pushing on through

Sure as the tide rolls in at night
I'll still be here at the of days screaming at the sky
Let the fire consume and cleanse what's before me
Behold, I'll build my empire before the ashes hit the ground

Life inside a piece of paper, live it through my pen and pad
Lead inside my pencil like the hammer on my pistol back
There ain't no hitting back
Life it ain't no tennis match
All over the net but that ain't where I do business at
Face to face with adversity and intimidation
This is real, this is raw, ain't no imitation
No limitations ain't a ceiling in sight 
There ain't no rules or regulations either yield or you fight
Just take a look at where I been that's some appealing advice
͚'Cause you can build until it falls or keep it real and you rise

Even if the sky was falling down
Even if the sky was falling, I'm not falling down
I stand tall through it all, I've risked too much to just give up now
I'm pushing on through

Sure as the tide rolls in at night
I'll still be here at the of days screaming at the sky
Let the fire consume and cleanse what's before me
Behold, I'll build my empire before the ashes hit the ground
