Whoever thought That I would blow up Gave this rap game my Life While I was growing up Use to see rappers Partying after their concerts Up in VIP I was there Putting in mad work Had my mission mapped out Since I was a little dude Stayed focused on the streets Did what I had to do Used to feel like rap Was a way to get out the trap But noticed How money and power Can bring you right back Trying to help folks While others tug at your rope Provoking your failure Yeah life will test ya And bring out the best in ya If you diligent with perseverance My spirit called for me To show my brilliance I never waited for the next man Because the next man Will leave you standing there With your foot stuck in the sand If you don't move you lose Stand still and you's a fool Be true to what you do Silence critics When you show and prove I'm grinding harder Than the rest of them The Diamond in the ruff ***** I'm the best of them I show and prove I keep my cool among men I Separate my real people's From my fake friends No competition It's a victorious landslide Don't stand against my ***** Come over on my side We politicking wit dialogue That can't hide I'm the General Here to put things Back in align I'm flying higher than I ever been Been on the grind so long I'm destined to win I made a change to my name Like 2 Chainz Independent hustling Yeah doing my thing We hit the city up You see us putting that work in We all smiles feeling good No need for fronting My people loving the sounds And how we moving it I told'em stay in tune This is the movement I needed time to align My lyrical prominence Before the world end And we forget What's heaven sent The knowledge left from my ancestors Was a gift of life I recognize the price Of their sacrifice I'm here now I'm basting in their full glory A new dawning at the closing Of an old story Wisdom pours thru me A flavorful delicacy I got a chemistry With some natural philosophies I'm grinding harder Than the rest of them The Diamond in the ruff ***** I'm the best of them I show and prove I keep my cool among men I Separate my real people's From my fake friends No competition It's a victorious landslide Don't stand against my ***** Come over on my side We politicking wit dialogue That can't hide I'm the General Here to put things Back in align I was told to be patient The best never makes it The good Die Young To live past 25 is a blessing I knew if I surrounded myself With knowledge of self I could blast off And reach heights Beyond physical wealth I use to daydream While beaming my energy Into the universe Asking the Creator To give me the power Restore me with the blessings Of my ancestors Show me the light So I can see In the darkness of the night Like a star shining bright In the midst of the Moon In the morning i'll rise As the flowers bloom A new day new age Still paving the way Looking to better reality Without being a Slave How could you make it And not be forsaken For sacrifices taken The fortitude of a giant In the making If I told you The grind I went through Just to be here Would you believe it's true I'm grinding harder Than the rest of them The Diamond in the ruff ***** I'm the best of them I show and prove I keep my cool among men I Separate my real people's From my fake friends No competition It's a victorious landslide Don't stand against my ***** Come over on my side We politicking wit dialogue That can't hide I'm the General Here to put things Back in align
