Jerk - Persistence

What's success without persistence
What's love without commitment
Surviving, grinding, gotta own your time and stay consistent
Ain't nothing instant
Stay optimistic
Give your all just to say you did it
Higher living, yea (2x)

Higher living, yea
Persistence
Persistence

Too strong, my spirit too calm
Exerted effort
That's the difference between the niggas that want it and those who get it
Living fearless, got a golden aura
Skin as think as armor
I'ma soldier, always strive and conquer
That's how I was brought up
Keep going, only the strong prevail
Its easy to persist when things are going well
But not when shit gets harder
You can't skip the process
Minor set back for major comeback
We been there done that
All I got is drive, look in my eyes
Nigga fuck making a living
This is purpose, you walk by and feel it
Go to sleep and dream about it, wake up, gotta get it, uh
We find a way, you find excuses
We work, you talk about it, we don't talk, we just do it
My determination exceeds doubt
Weak niggas we weed out
Repeated failures, dead ends, we made it out
Last stroke of the hammer, it broke the stone
That hating just made me strong
Might bend but we dont' no fold
Motivation got us started, habits got us going
I'm my own opponent, moving militant
Relying on my discipline
If nothing else, I got myself, a legend's time is infinite
Never proud to ask for help, a luxury I was gifted with
Keep moving forward, I know it seem bad
Me , you know I said what I wanted and I achieved that
Always, I'm addicted to learning, receiving feedback
Desire burning, doubt me, I love it. Deep down I need that
I know success ain't common, I know the hood economics
I know some won't make it out it, tear when I think about it
But I know God and logic
Grind and let the spirits guide us
Passion, will and thirst for knowledge got me through the pain and trauma
I built myself, fuck riches, we wanted wealth
Mentors, they built me forward, ain't no highways to success
Fuck stress, we way to blessed,
Fuck death, if heaven take me it's gon be in something fresh
Just make sure my suit pressed
Bottom line, build and grind, world is mine, uh
Free your mind, see the signs, through your third eye
Gonna shine, give it time, you got time, uh
Just make sure you're ready when the stars align, uh
