Intro: Never have the nations of the world had so much to lose or so much to gain Together we shall save our planet Or together we shall perish in its flames Save it we can and save it we must And then shall we earn, The eternal blessing of God [J.P.] None of you lames got the best of me Now this is ’93 til infinity Keep your friends closer than your enemies Cus it’s not the other way around, literally Be more open minded to the mind please Killem with kind words cus this world peace Is slowly dying to the death of me, with the rest of me Time and time again, World War III isn’t the recipe It’s not about the doobies rolled up, not about the Henny Not about the Prada, Louis V’s, or the Gucci But what the hell do I know, I’m still 18 Never even smoked that Kush, or sipped that lean J. Cole make the struggle seem beautiful, I’m just tryna make you feel it, so mutual Got a dollar and a dream, real niggas on my team Everything ain’t what it seems, ya’ll don’t hear it though This is how I feel I can’t be still This is how I feel I can’t be still This is how I feel I can’t be still This is how we chill from ’93 til This is how we chill from ’93 til This is how we chill from ’93 til All I ask is for a little recognition, Sit and wonder why everything that we wishin’ just won’t fall into place Why it feel like somethings missin’ No more waiting, it’s bout time I live the life, and get a little taste Of what was meant to be What it’s supposed to be How many failures does it take for a man to succeed? For the world to be at ease, be at happiness and peace Only one way, you just gotta believe So many trapped souls waiting to be free Feeling so alive but I still can barely breath It’s like I’m screaming out loud but no one can hear And everybody they be judging by the sh*t that you wear All these fake friends acting like they really do care But when you get up to the top you gon’ know who was really there To the ones who stopped and stared, disappear To the ones who said, “Through everything you persevere.” To the ones who told me, “If you want it, face your fears.” To the ones who stuck around, throughout the years Take a moment cus we made it here So raise your glasses up high as I’m yelling cheers [Sophisticated] This is how I chill from 93 till In 93, I was born with the will to kill Usain Boltin' I'll leave you shocked at the track meet My stature was only made for the stat sheets Speakin of sheets, go to sleep kids I can tell when my competition speaks fear Your vision sank, I see sick, not sea sick Lone ranger flow, I'm one deep to make the beat six Feet deep after I chalk em out Steppin stone bars, that is somethin you cannot walk without Spittin substance, you watered down talkin about amounts I'm Galludet when it comes to talkin bout your sound Frank Luke cyphers cause I been dope Sacred like the Sermon on the Mount, take cliff notes Evidently I am such a different pedigree Top dog reppin uptown til the death of me This is how I feel I can’t be still This is how I feel I can’t be still This is how I feel I can’t be still Aw shit, it’s too ill Hol’ up This is how we chill from ’93 til This is how we chill from ’93 til This is how we chill from ’93 til Infinity

[J.P.] Visions of falling to a silent death Don’t understand so yes the only option is to be the best Every breath, every moment for success Hungry and I’m blessed but this life is full of stress In the midst of oppression, aching hearts and depression There’s a lesson to be learned and some room for progression Don’t plan to beat the rest in this profession Listeners discretion is advised, take some time to revise Not to leave you surprised, but a message in disguise Gotta search cus it’s cleverly devised For this game plan, let me say that you can call me Durant An assassin on the mic, there’s no need for a hitman I just need all of you to understand, Open up your mind cus you’re witnessing first hand Ya’ll can do it on your own without a grand You just gotta own the music and believe that you can Life’s a bitch and then you die Life’s a bitch and then you … You and I we best believe we got a rendezvous with destiny Visualize the limitations leading to mortality Creative thinkers listen and appreciate simplicity Bunch of tangled dreams that play a part in this reality Music is just one thing that keeps me from depravity It’s not about the vanity; looks can kill but still deceive Eyes, they lie; not everything you see you believe Can you feel the wind or is it just make believe? Flowing against the current not to say that I’m a rebel But to be a stand out from the people who want to settle I am mastering this craft, without the cheese and the mac, No miller light, no need for crack, Without the weed I still can rap Rewind, this the part where ya’ll could take a step back To unwrap, unfold, this lyrical track Might sound a little cocky, confident in fact Cus I gotta make my name known to this game called rap, without Shaq This is not a temporary act; So how you gonna criticize or talk that smack? If you know what I’ve been on, I’m ready for attack Let’s go, there’s no time to relax Improving up on everything that I don’t lack Cassius Clay in his prime, watchu know about that? It’s been a long time coming, can’t run from it Dreams chasing me like I owe them something It’s J.P. on the mic, and it’s John when I write But it’s my heart and my soul every word that I recite Every single night, writing, making moves Inspired by the light from the stars and the moon Mama says, “Patience your time will come soon.” And I’m praying for you.

[Verse 1] Cus I’m dreamin’, feenin’, for all the fame I’m wishing upon a star I pray to whom I believe in Lord knows, Lord knows; I’m doing it for the fame but at the same time I’m in it to make a change I remember when I was a little kid, no care for the world all I wanted was to be big By big I mean taller, maybe even a baller Now I care too much and I think that I’m falling for her Uh, before success is in my hands No thanks to the doubters, all the applause to my fans Friends and family I want to take a moment Inspiring my rhymes, reevaluating my focus Proverbs 16 says something about my dreams Commit to the Lord in whatever, you will succeed You might be thinking why this kid be so damn philosophical Let me say that God, His love is crazy astronomical [Verse 2] Uh, I’m getting closer to my dreams Last night was a nightmare but I swear tonight’s at ease Devil tried to break me down by telling my to sin My fear is in the Lord but I fear not cus He’s within I’m praying that this fear will quickly Burn, Usher Raymond Confessions of a Sinner Part II, give me an Amen as I, Reflect upon this life, what really is my motivation? Not Islamic but to ya’ll it’s As-salamu alaykum [Verse 3] So listen, Don’t be blinded by the lies even though the truth isn’t what you’re wishing Stop dreaming, live reality show the world just what they’re missing You heard? Telling me it’s absurd, to try to put this pen and paper in my vision in words I could have sworn, I told you I would make it to fame You are the motivation inside of my pencil and ink I was here in the stu, cookin’ up food for your brain While they were gettin’ lit up, and finding parties to drink While they were gettin’ fucked up, and focused on other things I was here focused on music and all the things it could bring Choosing my path, pray to God that it’s right Closer to my dreams and I’m ready for flight {Chorus] Lean on my fears to burn down Push them all away so I can move on Closer to my dreams [Verse 4] Thought we were friends, now we’re strangers again Gives me more ambition, that’s ambition to win Thought we were friends, now we’re strangers again Gives me more ambition, that’s ambition to win My priorities set and I’m longing to speak All the thoughts in my heart, that’s ambition within My goals to be remembered not expire and inspire And never ever do I even plan to retire Work hard and be kind, only speak through your grind Grow rhyme inspire n’ drive, thas word until I arrive I am on the come up, anything that ya’ll do I’m one up Ya’ll grind til 3 in the mornin’, I grind til the sun up Logically it makes sense, if it doesn’t, then it’s past tense, It made sense, now it doesn’t, so I’m building up the suspense Do you get it, do you not? Are you warm, cold, or hot? Remembered or forgot? Don’t miss your one and only shot, do all you can Til you reach your demands Persevering through the fire, don’t fall quick to the sand Damn, how much more could I go? My breath is running out but I still got the flow, still got room left to grow I refuse to let my flow grow cold, zero below, fast and furious I never go slow Always higher than low, step on mines as I blow Just believe I will make it, for a fact, its fasho So much more to say, but thas my queue to go So much more to say, but thas my queue to go And I’m out cus I told you all you gotta know And I’m out before I make this verse over flow [Bridge]
