Shine

I've always been "Mr. Imma Get It", so optimistic
The opposition saying drop it when I shot and missed it
As far as confidence in me, ain't a part that isn't
I was always taught I gotta leave the things I started finished
Uh, I know I got a different fantasy
But understand that God has a better plan for me
So Mom, I promise I ain't hurrying out
There ain't a thing you need to worry about
See imma make you proud

I'm slowly living the life I envisioned
I always been a small kid with the highest ambitions
I used to fight with you when really I wanted attention
Yes, I was wrong but don't we all have our imperfections
We need to know that sometimes our pain ain't what it really seems
Some other things we tend to say, what we really mean
I merely be just a fraction of all
the people trying to find themselves
That's why I gotta ask if this is really me

You know it's like this love-hate
thing that the world has with success
It deals with people who you started your life off with
And what success does to them
People look at you strange, saying you changed
Like you worked that hard to stay the
same, like you're doing all this for a reason

How could people hate when I gain some?
I'm from the same place that they came from
Think it's my fault that you gave up,
so don't ask me if you can take some
That's fake son, and I shouldn't
Why you mad that I live and learn?
What you expect from me in return when
you're the one that told me I couldn't?
Said I'm tryna find where my heart is, tryna find where my heart is
Everybody so heartless, man I've been trying my hardest
It seems like I'm so close to my dream
I could see everything that I ever wanted,
I wonder if it's all real life, it don't feel right

We ain't on the same page, tryna find my own way, make my own lane,
it had the game changed,
what had happened if I'd played again the same way
They said stop when I'd barely started but I got my eyes on that line
And I ain't slowed down cause I was so certain
In the end it's all so worth it

In this life it seems so perfect with the fame and all the shine
I'd be stuck inside this moment and I got one chance to make it mine
Got to make sure I own it
There's just some things you can't rewind
Feel like everybody want it,
they just don't want to take the time (yeah)
