Make Something Of Myself lyrics

You not doing anything with your life. You’re wasting all of your talents and potential. Every day, you choose to indulge in viewing others who are successful, and you have to live with the reminder that you’re not like them even though you could be if you put the work in. No wonder you are depressed. There’s no other way to feel when you’re literally not making anything of yourself. Laziness is the pathway for depression. Depression comes because you don’t have faith in yourself that you can make a better life for yourself


I don’t want to be that guy
That never does sh*t
I want to make something of myself
I don’t want to be that guy
That only talks sh*t
I want to make something of myself


Saw pac do it, saw biggie do it
So at 8 years old, I knew what I wanted to be pursuing
Though there was some fright
Cause I’ve see men who had it all
Get stripped of it all and come down to ruins
Saw my classmates, instantly could see their fate
They just work a 9-5 for a boss
I couldn’t relate
Some people long for yesterday
Or hope for a better tomorrow
Instead of making the most of today
Hated the thought of doing nothing
You know those guys
34 still playing games at mom’s house
Yelling and cussing
At 10 years old who own his ass
God taught me better than that
So Ima make dope records
Ima write some classic stories
Cause to not make something of myself
And waste my gifts is way too f*cking boring
Ima do me, yall keep sleeping, yall keep snoring

Parable of the mustard seed
Gave me the eyes to see
The heart to believe
That God rewards tenacity
And that if I let fear cripple me
The doors are shut for a possibility
So, Ima use my abilities
Like I know I’m meant for this
Wrote some garbage ass sh*t
But now I’m writing and my pen don’t miss
Damn, Malcolm Gladwell wasn’t lying
I’m trying so that I become the example
So when the kids know the twitter handle
And they see the love of the youtube channel
They’ll know it wasn’t a fluke
And that I really was in the war zone fighting a battle
With my inner demons, and the spirit of doubt
That kept nagging me
I could just be lazy, not do sh*t
But I didn’t cause the idea of that life being real
Was just too sad to me
