ReTro d.r.E - Life Reflection

This to all my
People who had to reflect
On whatever they had to do
Until the moment of where they at
See
We all got a time
We all got a moment
Where we gotta reflect
On where we came from
And where we trynna be
And where we trynna go
You never know
Listen
To the days that
Some niggas might have been
In the kitchen
Or in the booth
Or on the court
Or on the field
Or in the job
Or in the
Or in the whip
Trynna get some
Bread, or a brick
You see
You was a kid right
You did what you had to do, right
You was in the moments
Thinking
I wanna be a doctor
A lawyer
I wanna be
A firefighter
I wanna be, a politician
Until you, get older and realize
That, politician's ain't shit
And being, a Firefighter
Or a medical servant
Really, ain't much neither
But
Somebody gotta do it
That maybe you
That maybe you
Or you
Let's reflect
When I was a kid, back
In elementary school
I had to realize that
Even though I was big
I had the big plans, for my future
Even though I got teased
I had, the mind
And heart of a lion
Andre The Giant
A nickname, that may been passed on
From a few, no
Going strong
And building on
And keep towering over
My past
Perception of myself
And I noticed
That the time
When I needed some help
I noticed, I got my help
But, I know now
That my future goin' be
What it's gonna be
And all my do
Is in my mind
And tell myself
What my future is goin' be
If I wanna be a billionaire
Then I'ma think I'ma billionaire
Then I will be a billionaire
That's how it works
But
If you think
You ain't gonna be here tomorrow
You might not be
Um
And if you think
Your past will be your future
Then that's what it's goin' be
See
You never know
But you always know
If you trust yourself
You will always know
What you goin' be
And how you goin' do it
And every time you wake up, you know, you goin' get it
And every time you sleep
You think about the next day
And every time you wake up
You think about the other day
Sometimes you go back in the past
To make your future get bright
To get out
Of your darkness
And shine all your light
Until
You go to be a better person
Every time you think about it
Like you never heard it
You always had it, but you
Now you gotta get it, and now
You hear from different people
And different positions from
Your parents or friends, that you know forever
Or just for a moment
They put you on better than people, you know your whole life
Ain't that some shit
But dam
Ain't this the shit
That you need to hear
For your time, that you
Trynna get better
Every single day
And every time you straight
A where you from the
What the
Goal was
For your own, in days
For your time in greatness
You notice that
You gotta get that back
It's yourself, now
Reflection on your life
Each time, everyday
You know what, you goin' be great that's
If you think it, that way
But if you don't
You won't get it, that way
Life reflection
Will be
To this point
You goin' be great, just know that
For the one's that need to hear
And you gotta hear
But just know
If you ain't goin' be great
That's on you
But if you are
It's on you
You see how that works
Change your mind
To change the difference
A pass the generational curses, that put on
From other people
And other TV shows, that
Try to make you look like
You had to go sell crack
Or had to go
Rob and kill
Or had to drink
Lean and pills
You had to go get something
That somebody else had
You had to look like
You had to be
From another country
To realize who you are
But home is right here
Where you standing at
Is right here
Heart and charity
Starts at home
Remember that
Yeah
Heart and charity
Starts at home
Remember that
This is for
All my future kids
Never hold a gun, and never have to chase a bid
Do everything that's right, that you gotta do
I understand, that you, do what you gotta do
This is for
All my future kids
Never hold a gun, and never have to chase a bid
Do everything that's right, that you gotta do
I understand, that you
Do what you gotta do
Don't ever be nobody, you ain't gotta be
Don't ever do nothing, you ain't gotta do
This for everything that you know, that you gotta do
And do make your whole life, that you know
Is best for you
And your fam
And future fam
That you know
Unless you
Gotta do something that
Hopefully, is best for yourself
Never let nobody tell you
You gotta work for 'em
You got your own gifts
You can profit off of
Make a million
Or you could be comfortable enough
To live your life
Do everything to have, the kids and your wife
Or have a good husband
Sons and daughters
Family
I may have both
Or just one
Never know
At this time
I think of life
My reflection is, what the greatness is, and lies
My future is bright, and my future is great
But my time is working
Can make the change
It may not know
I had my visions
But I may not know
But you always know
Sometimes
You may not know
