Nelson Mandela said
There is no passion to be found playing small and settling
For a life that is less than the one you are capable of living
If you don't fail you're not even trying
My wife told me this great expression
To get something you never had
You have to do something that you never did

Show me you can't
I promise you I'll show you that you can
Perception of my mind
I'm just going through it
Rolling through it
Quick
Let me start with my speech
I don't claim to be Malcolm X
But I assure you there's pain from what I speak
Take me off my leach
Let me speak my own
You see the problem is
Friends keep hating on friends making childish harassment
Whilst fake friends hating cause all they care about is body count ratings
Or status
Which to me they're probably faking
There's so much more to life than just waiting
For opportunity to come that's just
degrading Yourself
Blaming yourself
Hoping somehow it'll just work out for itself
You see
Take what's yours whilst it's there for the taking
I know we all have our story to tell
Mines just a bafta winning movie in the making
Failures not an option
My motivational thoughts are just invading
Like Jack O'Connell in Unbroken
If you know my life story
Then you know why I can't sit by and refuse my glory
Listen
The story is untold so listen closely
Heard the story of my dad died I hope he didn't suffer
Although we may be apart
Hope God took you to heaven and made you holy
I still hold on to the smallest memories
Cause those are the greatest trophies
Lost my dad so mum had to protect
Fifteen years went by
I had to go to the grave to pay my respect
Love and hate won't make me neglect
At the same time
It's playing on my mind like a different effect
Behind the claps and standing ovations
Some people don't want to see you be the number one prospect
That's why when things go downhill
It'll be the same people that will push you away like some worthless object
Well
I don't stand for that
I clap back at them
I can't really speak on it
Reason it
My mind is so infatuated
Validating
The lifestyle of mine
I can't even lash out or fathom my mind
There's no greater amount
When it comes to my thoughts
My thoughts are just whips now
Damaging with contact
They say time heals all wounds but how long till it protracts,
Distract me from my egos
Subtract the egocentric
Hoping to stay humble like Kendrick
Or Jimmy Hendrix but who knows
But really I'm just trying to find answers without really asking
Maybe its the absence of dad
Like the quickness in the sand
Graduation or football moments
Hoping he's sitting in the stands
Or hoping to get answers from his spirit
Like Tchalla in Black Panther
But that's just a fairy tale
A merry tale like Santa
At the end of the day that's probably just the most simplest answers

So show me you can't
I promise you I'll show you that you can
My superpower is in my light just like Ryan Reynolds or Brie Larson
If you don't already know
I'm no ordinary person
But
If I speak out then I'm the judgmental person
All I know is
Build a bridge
Gather wood
Unqualified job
Fatherhood
Your kids don't just come from you,
They go through you
Stand and watch
Greatness on prime time
If that's understood
So show me you can't
I promise you I'll show you that you can
Your mindset will give up first if you doubt yourself
Fight yourself
Your deepest fear will come out
If you hide upstairs
Alone with yourself comes with the quiet tears
Lord
Mold the word of protection around me
Recited prayers
In the nighttime
That's where you'll find the darkness there
Darkest nights produce the brightest stars
Hope it shines up here
My guardian angel
Dad
Hope you're watching over me from there
Cause I can really feel the world pushing us closer and closer to get there
How is it so
The innocent souls
Are being deprived of their own voice
That's just how it goes
The pain in my heart
Seeing my black brothers brutalized online whilst we're singing it's coming home
It's becoming known
Some people are too much of a coward to say it
So
I'm just saying it how it is
Just to let you know
I'm overflowing with the biggest loving
The hugs and kisses
The person that listen
To how my day is
That's the person I give my biggest praises
Good friends are rare
I'm not gonna say who their name is
But just so you know I'm thinking of you
Not to forget your family too
We may not speak like we used to
But I'll still be there
To give you a point or two of my own view
good friends are never apart
Guess that's true
Memories are treasures
Pleasures with the emotions that we cherish
Flourish with your destiny in mind
So if you show me you can't
I promise you I'll still show you that you can
But still
I can't just sit back and say it ain't so
Some of us are living in a lie
Fake it till you make it thinking
Till you're living in denial
It's an illusion
Or just special effects like its like CGI
Get the green screen up
Change location like you're due to fly
But really you're sitting on your couch really deeping life
I'm not gonna front and say I'm the role model type
But I
Really feel it when people say I'm doing everything I can to really try
If you sincerely mean it
I Bet you can cope with the pressure that comes with the height
when you're in the public's eye
Take my word for it
Straight facts not lies
So show me you can't

I promise you I can show you that you can
Because you know what
There's an old saying
You hang around the barbershop long enough
Sooner or later you will get an haircut
So you will catch a break and I did catch a break
