Tr3boy - Paving The Way (feat. JasChubs & Nazzy)

See I'm trying to pave a way for the people that ain't have no hope
And no matter what they say, if they tell me stop, I'ma just go
Got the world in my hands and the game on lock in a choke
You gotta just go, you gotta just know
Look so dark at the bottom, I know if you keep looking for the dream you gon' find it
Shout out everybody still climbing, cause Id be wrong to quit right now before I find it
City gets gritty, but I'm staying out the way
I gotta be the one cause I can make a better way
Been around the city even when it wasn't safe
I gotta do this, this one's for my auntie in the grave
This one for my cousin who got stuck inside the system
Upstate I felt gifted, put me in a new position
Feel Like I just got a second chance, look at things different
So if I don't pave the way, then who else around me gone fix it
See I'm trying to pave a way for the people that ain't have no hope
And no matter what they say, if they tell me stop, I'ma just go
Got the world in my hands and the game on lock in a choke
You gotta just go, you gotta just know
If you don't know, I been locked up in the studio
Working on my verse, preparing for the radio
Shout out to tre, this how the classic supposed to go
So militant, we focused on a milli though
I remember sleeping down on the floor, I was broke
Ain't had no pot to piss in, but you know I'm about to blow
Working two jobs, tryna feed my daughter
I'm tryna be a better father
Charter school, anything you do, I'ma better you
Need a million to count before I let you go
You better know you're worth, don't sell you soul
They envy out here, I thought I'd let you know
They wanna see me down, wanna see me in the ground
Don't wanna see me with a crown, cause I'm a king
I rise above them all, feel like I'm Martin Luther
But I felt this feeling before, cause I had a dream
See I'm trying to pave a way for the people that ain't have no hope
And no matter what they say, if they tell me stop, I'ma just go
Got the world in my hands and the game on lock in a choke
You gotta just go, you gotta just know
I said I wouldn't be where I'm at if I just sit and play the back
I took life by the reins and turned mistakes into cash
I was the captain of the team and ever since, no looking back
So on the field or in the booth, I'm giving everything I have
I Came up off of soundcloud now I hit the stage and bring the crowd out
Remember they was laughing, the same people's in the crowd now
They say I knew you'd make it and I greet them with a wide smile
Cause they're the ones that pushed me and the reason why I'm on now
I made a business off a rap, they made a business off a cap
I made a business off you being in my business, now I laugh
And I told Tre keep going up, no don't let them dim your light
Investing everything in you is the ultimate sacrifice
And I said
Cause I tried to pave the way but they went the other way
And it hurt my soul, but tomorrow's a new day
And I'm trying to make a change for the city I call home
See I'm trying to pave a way for the people that ain't have no hope
And no matter what they say, if they tell me stop, I'ma just go
Got the world in my hands and the game on lock in a choke
You gotta just go, you gotta just know
