OTM - Dad, I'm On My Way

Do I really know the true meaning of sacrifice
Is there anything that to acquire I'd see the afterlife
I entice the spiteful feelings of having no purpose
Cause what's the point of living if your dreams only stay on the surface
My dad told me go big or go home
That man saw a war and still he did not fold
So how can I oppose
When he says to make the awards
You gotta work 10 times more than what you do now
Procrastinating I been thinking about
But not doing
Wouldn't even call it laziness
I stay with this
Inner anxiousness
Taking its toll
And now I'm facing the goal
My mind works but my body is froze
Dad always said plan for everything
Make no wasted moves
Already bet the house on you
You ain't got shit to prove
And as I see if I can be
What you believe is destiny
I hope I leave a legacy
That makes it worth every bruise
You never need never need to tell me you're sorry
I couldn't see you gave everything up for me
Know sometimes I feel like the path I'm walking is lonely
But I know I can count on you overcoming the old me
Never need never need to tell me you're sorry
I couldn't see you gave everything up for me
Know sometimes I feel like the path I'm walking is lonely
But I know I can count on you overcoming the old me
Looked up
Packed bags moved up
In a time where moved black men moved drugs
The white man moved a different paste
Come to distant lands for that viscous taste
And lay waste to nations for that liquid ace
So we go to their lands tryna find that saving grace
For our own offspring
Tryna be like John Wilkes Booth
Make dead presidents sing
And I ain't claim to be Pusha T or Freddie Gibbs
God made me go straight
So I'd have a way to live
I'm just tryna make amends
For all of these chronic sins
Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh
Only packs I ever flipped
But back to that other shit
Two years old I left the crib
Mom and Dad made sacrifices
I was young but ain't forget
Fake it till you make it
But in this case it was always basic
I was just that nigga in the purple tee and all white Asics
Find a way to be content inside this global matrix
What you know bout choking on success when you can fucking taste it
Give up payment to ensure your children's reparations
Ugh that nigga always saw the destination
So as I scribble pray these ripples make a better nation
I just hope that one day we can we have this celebration
You go where I go
Cause you know what I know
You gave me the mic so
I'm gon let the world know
You never need never need to tell me you're sorry
I couldn't see you gave everything up for me
Know sometimes I feel like the path I'm walking is lonely
But I know I can count on you overcoming the old me
Never need never need to tell me you're sorry
I couldn't see you gave everything up for me
Know sometimes I feel like the path I'm walking is lonely
But I know I can count on you overcoming the old me
