Destiny lyrics
by Michael Jackson
[Intro: Daz Dillinger]
If you know what you got, then you ain't got much
So what's your destiny?
[Chorus: Daz Dillinger & Michael Jackson]
I want destiny (I want destiny)
It's the place for me, yeah-yeah (Hey, hey, hey)
Give me the simple life
I'm gettin' away from here (Away from here)
Let me be me (Hey, hey, hey)
Come on, let me feel free (Yeah)
Let me be me, ooh
[Verse 1: Daz Dillinger]
Now if you don't know where you goin' then you already lost (Lost)
Life will change at full price, never tell you what it cost
I had to map out all my pain, turn my scars into plans
Turn the block into a classroom, sell into a stand
I done seen too much, it's just so fake where I'm at
Came from the dirt, I'm clean, can't erase none of that
It's a lot to accomplish, I still got dreams (Yes)
I move with a purpose, n*gga, I still chase cream
I don' survived in the streets, I done dodged the grave
Ten toes down, n*gga, never asked to be saved
Seen the cold in your eyes, you see the hunger in mine
Keep my head in the storm, stay in line with the sun (Sun)
This life don't promise you nothin', just pain at that
So I thank God daily for every breath
You can die for the name or a peaceful glance
And live broke forever, n*gga, if you miss that chance
I want
[Chorus: Daz Dillinger & Michael Jackson]
I want destiny (I want destiny)
(I want destiny)
It's the place for me, yeah-yeah (Hey, hey, hey)
Give me the simple life
I'm gettin' away from here (Away from here)
Let me be me (Hey, hey, hey)
Come on, let me feel free (Hey, hey, hey)
Let me be me, ooh
[Verse 2: Daz Dillinger]
I ain't here by mistake, every step is earned
Every cut in my soul was like a page when it turned
I could've died a hundred times, still breathin' in grace
I got the fire in my chest that can't be replaced
You know I did it all, you were my back to the wall
When I rise above it all, when we fight, when we brawl
There ain't no fear in my heart, you know I weigh in the truce
Just take a hit at this n*gga, it's a thousand-proof (A thousand-proof)
You know destiny, not luck, it's a path to create
Even God don't bless you when a n*gga straight hate
So I'ma knock it down (Yeah), I'ma break free (Break free)
It's my time, my life, my destiny
I had to bet up on myself, now when the dice swing close (Swing close)
You know I f*ck with Daz, you know they love it the most
You know life got curves, but I tried with will
So what's your destiny, n*gga? Is your life fulfilled?
[Chorus: Daz Dillinger & Michael Jackson]
I want destiny (I want destiny)
(I want destiny)
It's the place for me, yeah-yeah (Hey, hey, hey)
Give me the simple life
I'm gettin' away from here (Away from here)
Let me be me (Hey, hey, hey)
Come on, let me feel free (Hey, hey, hey)
Let me be me, ooh
[Verse 3: Daz Dillinger]
Ain't no place you can't go if you believe in yourself
You know the world cold
You know it's burnin' through your nose
They told me I fell, said the odds were too steep
So I rose from the bottom to the top of the street
I've been broke, been solid, been stabbed in the back (Back)
But I learned how to move, never fell off track
Now my goals ain't just mine, this for those who want to make it
For those who want to take it for the time that was vacant
I see my destiny, like a crowd1 in the mist
Now what's the best for me?
Just gettin' money, gettin' rich
See you on no way you be until you take that route (Route)
Your destiny is callin', n*gga, just close your mouth (Shh)
You know I push them in the corner, tear their ass to bits
You know I stand tall, n*gga, I was born for this (I was born for this)
You know destiny is mine, you know I had to believe
You can't find nothin', n*gga, if you don't got G
Get money
[Outro: Daz Dillinger & Michael Jackson]
I want destiny (I want destiny)
It's the place for me, yeah-yeah (Hey, hey, hey)
I want destiny (Destiny)
You and me, up and fly away so fancy free (Hey, hey, hey)
I want destiny (Destiny)
You and me, so fancy free (Yeah)
Destiny, I, destiny, ooh
I want destiny (Destiny) (I want destiny)
It's the place for me, yeah-yeah (Hey, hey, hey)
Give me the simple life
I'm getting away from here (Away from here)
Let me be me (Hey, hey, hey)
Come on, let me feel free
Let me be me, ooh
I wanna get far from here
