Tøuchdøwn - Pain Made Power (Inner City Dreams 2)

Where do you see yourself in 20 years
This nigga Lik goin stupid
I see myself changing the world
Cause my thought patterns are so opposite of what's the norm
So I would have to change the world or I would have to be changed by the world
Recollections from my lowest serve as motivation
On the cusp of sumn greater got me over anxious
Them triple 3s gon be the world's greatest conglomeration
Them million dollar conversations feel like common nature
Outta state but I still grind like I'm in mama basement
Finna put her somewhere spacious that's my proclamation
Ain't no guarantees in life but still know I could make it
Had the vision Now or Never was my confirmation
Palms itching, mind racing but I'm staying patient
This life a marathon so please be careful how you pace it
So when that time is right I know what's mine is for the taking
Ain't no reaching for the stars I pull up on a spaceship
These niggas reaching in they bars it's all exaggeration
How he claimed he jumped up off the porch but never touched the pavement
Anything I put on wax I lived it or I'm still attaining
Sick of seeing niggas moving dangerous for that entertainment
Ask the Lord forgive me of my sins I did a couple people bogus
Say my prayers at night ain't worried bout no evil omens
Still a couple days when I feel like the reaper on me
So I can't move wrong in case somebody creepin on me
But erry soul gon touch that grave so you can't run from it
Sometime this life shit beat you down till you go numb from it
Can't let the troubles and the struggles take the fun from it
That rain can only pour so long before the sun coming
Use to only need a couple dollars for the lunch money
Now we slaving for the pape it's like we never got enough money
Still running from the jakes it's like they never get enough of us
Middle finger to the state them crackas never get no trust from me
Tryna keep my shorty silver spoon fed off the trust money
What's the point of tryna get it out the mud nigga fuck struggling
Tryna give my future kids the world they can't get enough from me
Still gon know to spread the wealth cause its too many of us hungry
My OG still my biggest critic and my best supporter
She held it down inside a system that was outta order
She'll die of thirst to let me drink if we was outta water
She put a nigga first so when I make it now I gotta spoil her
But she still hate the fact I rap I'm tryna clean my act up
Got some songs that I can't play around her I just might get smacked up
But when I blow she know that she the first two count the racks up
You done had to stack them chips alone but now I'm here for backup
Mama you know I got us
Did it on ya own you deserve yo flowers
You stayed strong working all them hours
It won't be long before we get ours
I'm working like it's crunchtime 'till the wee hours
I'm coming with the punchlines niggas can't counter
I'm stepping like its drumline cause niggas ain't cowards
I'm glowing in the sunshine I made it through the showers the pain made power
I want when they see me, they know that everyday when I'm breathing
Its for us to go further, you know
Every time I speak I want the truth to come out
Every time I speak I want a shiver
I don't want there to be like they know what I'm gonna say because it's polite
They know what I'm gonna say
And even if I get in trouble, you know'm sayin, ain't that what we're spose to do
I'm not saying I'm going to rule the world or I'm gonna change the world
But I guarantee that I will spark the brain that will change the world
