SELF PROCLAIMED 4 - Dax.mp3

[00:01.012]Don't let nobody tell you who you are
[00:02.209]I remember sleeping wishing on a shooting star
[00:05.058]After practice overnight cleaning working hard
[00:07.331]Coming up short hoping one day I'd go far
[00:09.794]I was young dumb broke and I was still naive
[00:12.519]I had failed so many times but I still believed
[00:14.953]That I would turn into that man everyone could see
[00:17.682]Wouldn't never let nobody tell him what he could achieve
[00:19.883]I stayed focused walked right on my path
[00:22.061]I told my mom I was leaving and I couldn't come back
[00:24.494]Hopped out my feelings, quit my job graduated and laughed
[00:26.958]Then went to Cali straight broke and hopped right in my bag
[00:29.452]Now I'm standing here speaking, giving all I am
[00:31.917]Trying to show you that the change starts with one man
[00:34.471]I ain't lying cause I did so I know you can
[00:36.918]So I'm here to help the world understand that
[00:39.470]This is motivation
[00:40.454]For every single chance you ain't taken
[00:41.675]Any rule that's in your way you better break it
[00:44.459]Shut up, embrace it
[00:45.455]The pain is a pre-requisite
[00:46.520]Without it how the **** you think you ever gon' make it
[00:48.812]The sweat is your payment
[00:50.335]**** an escalator, take the stairs to the top right from the ****ing basement
[00:54.278]Your life is a statement
[00:55.432]Leave a legacy and stop waiting
[00:57.166]Get yo ass up today and start chasing
[00:59.098]This that motivation
[01:00.508]I'm hoping that this hits your soul
[01:01.935]They're just dreams till you sit down and you write your goals
[01:04.449]I remember when they said I wasn't built this strong
[01:06.969]I bounced back like elastic and put myself on
[01:09.356]Now I'm selling out these tickets to places I don't know
[01:11.891]Going to these places they said that I couldn't go
[01:14.610]Giving all my time to people at these shows
[01:16.926]To spread this message and this music that I know brings hope
[01:19.473]They feel it
[01:20.192]I don't gotta top a stupid chart or win a Grammy
[01:22.849]Just to show that I'm the realest
[01:24.175]I don't need a co-sign from nobody
[01:25.992]If they ain't said nothing by now they pretending not to see it
[01:28.694]Any odd I beat, negativity delete it
[01:31.582]I don't care about success, it's the journey I'm fiending
[01:34.069]If I say it I meant it
[01:35.508]Flow dirty, can't clean it
[01:36.697]Give a **** about the past cuz I RIP'd it
[01:39.112]Now I'm bout to ****ing hit the top
[01:40.939]You ****ing people can't cancel me
[01:42.217]Put me in the box or ****ing drive to me to insanity
[01:44.688]I'm already crazy, 1/4 of me is all of you
[01:47.008]So half of me is two of you and 4 of you is all of me
[01:49.798]You'll need a whole army if you thinking bout stopping me
[01:52.157]And 5 lifetimes if you're thinking you can copy me
[01:54.575]I've beaten poverty, went to war and beat mediocrity
[01:57.200]My life is mine, I'm molding that shit like I'm doing pottery
[01:59.697]I'm not scared of failure, I embrace it and chase it
[02:02.096]If there's a 1 percent chance I can do it, I take it
[02:04.558]I took the hate they all threw, sat down and I ate
[02:07.001]Then took the motivation from it, turnt to one of the greatest
[02:09.459]And now every time I drop I know I'm making a statement
[02:11.958]Replacing every single person that you got on your playlist
[02:14.476]I'm not a product of the system, that's why no one can break it
[02:17.050]I'm tryna change the whole game, man **** being famous dawg
[02:19.701]I'm self-proclaimed and I ain't never change
[02:21.985]I rock the same clothes and still got the same chain
[02:24.421]It's a reminder when I hooped and I would go and get my jersey
[02:26.939]And those people didn't even know my name
[02:29.415]Well now I know you you see it!
[02:30.766]They told me leave, I made a promise they would all feel it!
[02:33.174]I couldn't find the change so I said I'll be it!
