Even though we dream with our eyes closed
That won't stop me fulfilling my goals
Cuz my life is on the line
Every day I know I'm runnin' out of time
So I just gotta shine
Yeah I just gotta yeah
I just gotta shine
I just gotta yeah

Yeah what I'm alive for
If I am here upon earth with nothing to strive for
I'd be no more than an eyesore
That shit I do not got no time for
Inside of myself had to find more
Because unlike anyone else I wanted to be different
But I knew that I had to start from the ground floor
Finding my purpose
I had to come to my senses 'fore I could decide what my worth is
At times I was rightfully nervous
But still I was calm on the surface
See how I'm standing my ground
How I developed my sound
I'll say it louder for those in the back
Listen there's no way I'm dumbin' it down
Knowin' the struggles I've had with this pen
In order for me to write the shit that I'm writin'
It took me forever a constant endeavor
Just to make sure that it's all to my likin'
And even sometimes today
I know I gotta be patient
Because I know that none of my creativity comes from me being anxious
I gotta praise it I gotta face it
I gotta embrace it
So I never fear
I know that victory's near because I can taste it
I made up my mind I can't be wastin' no time
I got my life on the line my word is bond
I know I'm one of a kind I know the heights I can climb
And I gotta shine

Even though we dream with our eyes closed
That won't stop me fulfilling my goals
Cuz my life is on the line
Every day I know I'm runnin' out of time
So I just gotta shine
Yeah I just gotta yeah
I just gotta shine
I just gotta yeah

Every day's a new day I evolve uh
I can promise one thing I know I won't drop the ball uh
Gotta make it count cuz I was backed against the wall uh
I done had some demons plottin' hopin' I would fall
But I rose above it all
Lookin' at me now my life turned around
That's fo'sho,
I'm gon' hol' it down can't shit bring me down
I'm on go
I don't play around I go pound for pound
Now you know
With the greats my name it will be going down
So I gotta take some risks
Make my self uncomfortable
So we live a life that's even better than the Huxtables
And that is all that I been thinkin even more so when I'm sleepin'
Because honestly I tell you that is all that I been dreamin'
And to see it all come true
Know this is all I gotta do
So watch me while I'm on my way to do the impossible
I made up my mind I can't be wastin' no time
I got my life on the line my word is bond
I know I'm one of a kind I know the heights I can climb
And I gotta shine

Even though we dream with our eyes closed
That won't stop me fulfilling my goals
Cuz my life is on the line
Everyday I know I'm runnin' out of time
So I just gotta shine
Yeah I just gotta yeah
I just gotta shine
I just gotta yeah
Even though we dream with our eyes closed
That won't stop me fulfilling my goals
Cuz my life is on the line
Every day I know I'm runnin' out of time
So I just gotta shine
Yeah I just gotta yeah
