The Silencer - Strive For Greatness

My strive for Greatness started with Minecraft
When I killed all the mobs inside the mineshafts
I loved seein power chains
I want to climb that
But impossible
With the way I had my mindcraft
I couldn't talk to people 1on1
I couldn't talk to a group
Couldn't talk 1 on tons
Yes I could speak
But the feelins wouldn't resonate
Dissected my mind
Till it found a way to detonate
I had to bring clay
My food out weighed the paper plate
Too cheap for ceramic had to go with the heavyweight
Went for the seconds
After whoopin
Had to meditate.
And make sure no one was on the level of my plain today
Wasn't born with any natural talents
I had to practice
Now people who were a head
Have to catch this
It's too late now
They can't match this
My fire always lit
Like never endin match-stick
Got hat tricks
For days
Like Nick Nurse
New plays
I create
I'm not broke
I don't have too much at stake
But I was taught to always strive to be great
I wanna be the best baller ever
And if I can I wanna rap and hoop together
Don't wanna choose careers
Wanna be everywhere
Want my name in every category here
I'm talkin hoops and raps
Comodies and acts
And when I retire be a principal at that
I want to change lives
Advance a child's mind
Believe reapin what you sow
If you sow enough times
Bein anything you want is never unrealistic
But it is if while your workin for it, you do think this
I don't even know why I gotta think to say this
It's blasted in ya ears by ya pops and misses
If you don't shoot the shot
You'll never know if you miss it
If you don't try the clothes
You'll never know if you fit it
You won't know the grade
If you did not submit it
But instead a tryin
You sit complainin and trippin
If the prize come fast
It's going even faster
So I'm gone take my time
On climbin the rap ladder
Want my posters on walls
But not fall off wit bad plaster
And hope to teach someone
To become they own master
