Nia Monae' - 10,000 Hours

All it took was a little patience
All it took was some dedication
I pray to God one day ima make it
And see the look on everybody's faces
It took me 10,000 hours, 10,000 hours to get here
10,000 hours, 10,000 hours, 10,000
10 years of blood, sweat and tears
Dedication, hard work and patience just to get here
Negative thoughts from people took placement
And it brought fear
Feeling Like I'd never make it
Or Feeling like no one cared
But I'm about to take it there
I'm a pro at this
Now you know I ain't playing fair
How dare I question Gods motive
How dare he give me a name like purpose
And I don't own it
How dare he bless me with all these gifts
And I don't show it
How dare he mold me into a star
Without me glowing
It's impossible I know it
My times coming even when I try to disown it
I'm here to show the world who I am
My only opponent
I did I did I did it I did it
10 years, I still finished
Even when I had to lose to win it
But this is only the beginning
It took me 10,000 hours, 10,000 hours to get here (yeah)
10,000 hours, 10,000 hours, 10,000
They told me I would never make it
Now they wishing me congratulations
Now they want a seat at the table
Where was they at when I was steady chasing
God done blessed me wit so many talents
First 10 was preparation
Next 10 I'm legend
Billboard with big tours
What I'm manifesting
Put my mama in a Porsche
My whole family I'm blessing
All this time I invested
Greatness I'm destined
All them times I felt less than
God taught me a lesson
For success I've been stressing
Got a job to fulfill
And ima take over this game
I pray it's Gods Will
It took me 10,000 hours, 10,000 hours to get here
10,000 hours, 10,000 hours, 10,000
