one's determination
| Rap |
I'll bring you into my world
Where doors seem to never open
Dreams fall short and some say keep hoping
I laugh because on the real it's easy to loose focus
Strap up if you're still there... as we begin coasting
U hear more negative
And the weak begin choking
The drama here is on-going!
Like kids with no parents Soon after their thoughts become transparent
Well, with no direction, no plan and no guidance
Their cries remain silent. only later will it turn into violence
Most role models just don't seem too realistic
In a world where things can be so simplistic
People so quick to judge - how could they understand what's been hidden?
Most of them laugh, no one seems to lend a helping hand, umm... what a decision
So through my pain, my life lessons
I exert and don't complain
The weight of the world on my shoulders
A road that has only gotten colder
I would tell any one to keep striving and keep their head high
My faith in God and my thoughts pure like the blue sky
Being thankful for another day, never questioning the true purpose
Utilizing the pieces of time as time has never been worthless
I can't bring back yesterday so each new day brings brighter ideas
That won't fail because yesterday's drive will put today's thoughts into gear
I've reached a place of peace where things now come at ease
The hard work is just beginning to be noticed, tired, slightly defeated
From years and years of a constant pushing, waking up early only to go to sleep late
I knew what I wanted but never knew it would take a life time to break
Approaching the bridge of a lifetime one side the past
And if I make it the other side excellence of the future
I glanced down took a coin out my pocket and let it flip
Only to never hear it hit the ground ever again
I turned around hurt and in pain countless hours finally brought me here
Was I ready to take a leap on faith? skill? Or was my heart much bigger
Than words will ever be able to show you? I knew this leap could be my last
Meaning I might not make it to see another day. well at 300ft in the air what can u expect?
I'm no super hero this is live and up close, the smell of death begins to take my strength
Suddenly I feel a little sad thinking of my parents, friends I may never see again
The tears begin to roll. I haven't cried in over a decade picturing them, visualizing... viewing me in all blood
And just then, one who feared the consequences of a short fall, I begin stretching my mind
My fears became close - were now nose to nose, my blood begins to boil, I don't bother to sweat, the few tears dry up, my soul filled with the fire of one who will now tangle with the word fate. 200 yards away from where I once just stood, I took off in a race as if my life depended on it and it did - one step before the edge I might land too short and if I didn't calculate the distance correct I didn't have any other support, it was plain and simple
Make it to the other side there were no second chances. my thoughts pure my physical in tune with every stride 50 yards into it. I hit my 2nd gear 100 yards into it, now I'm running and I have no fears. on top of air my ambition pulls me to elevate 50 yards from the edge, I smell rain reaching a 4th gear like a sports car, my legs, arms, back all form as one, led by a determined mind fueling a pure heart and the soul of a warrior reaches 3 ft before the cliff of broken dreams. my last step as the left foot strikes it's last mark on the pavement my toes tense only from the pressure to leap in mid air. I begin reaching for new heights my eyes can only view what's in front of me but my mind has taken me to a place where all would wanna be. I was someone striving to be elite, my body cuts through the thick air as if I was flying a blimp just reaching its highest peak. u see I made it to the other side bruised, battered, scarred, major aches and lets not bring up the pain. I cleared my jump by about 4 ft - wow I'm amazed. I'm now where my second wind appears moments after. The aches aren't apparent and if they were I have to push on. Here is the world of the Elite. Pretenders can only pretend but at this level of Excellency if you're not on that level u won't be able to compete.
