Let go of the rope and make the climb The longer you wait, the more you will find That youre writing out your history, every moment you decline Is a chance passed in life, no way to rewind The life and times of men and women struggling to survive From struggle comes opportunity when you need to provide For your seed to feast, you need to enrich the soil So that the future can go further than you, become royal I pray they stay loyal to the lessons that you taught them To move around the nonsense, life is a slalom Its the long and winding path, no maps No backtrack, just empty backpacks Cmon, do the math They said a picture is worth a thousand words But which thousand words can help you picture my grind? If I gave you ten thousand hours of my life Will I make something beautiful to call mine? Behind every success, theres a million failures But every failure makes me familiar With my true self, not only thoughts of wealth But of my two helping hands to lift myself And well, you miss 100 of the shots you dont take So I cant take a break, for Heavens sake Cus while youre resting, someones eyeing your spot Just burn like Roman candles, let that centerlight pop The oohs and ahhs are what Im going for They keep me going, keep me flowing My stream of consciousness will not be slowing down Just to let Father Time catch up I sidestep the traps where others messed up Cus I just wanna get the rest of my dreams out This is more than a habit, so please keep the fiends out This is my dream spout And if life is a movie, Im just trying to get my scenes out So run towards the glory, dont run from it And show the world how bad you really want it So, keep climbing with two eyes on the summit And theyll summon tales to tell about how we were becoming One
