What is some advice you would give to someone with a dream?
I would say u gonna fall
They gonna ignore u
They gonna pass by u
They gonna stare at you
They gonna try to own u
They are gonna try to kill u
They are gonna milk you
They are gonna rob you
They well take your soul
But only if you let them
U have a choice
Money is not as important as ownership of self
And don’t go into a room where u are not in control of your choices
The game was meant to chew us up and spit ya out
No matter what get up and chase that dream till u stepping on its neck
