Lyrics
[Sample] I want to describe my discovery in the simplest terms possible Because it will reveal to you why it is true That whatever the mind can conceive and believe The mind can achieve Regardless of how many times you may have failed in the past Or how off day your aims and hopes may be [Verse 1: Kendrick Lamar] Go-getter with no cheddar Just a white tee and a swap meet sweater My life is likely to see great endeavors But I can't win if I can't get it together What I gotta do in order to see success? Havin' the world's best to call me the best? Pull up at the Grammy Awards as the best dressed With an address linked to a beautiful actress? A dollar and a dream, I feel J. Cole Word to the hole in my pocket and the hoes That don't wanna fuck with a broke nigga with ambition But the last time I checked, y'all was broke bitches Make a name for myself then bubble like the ass of Buffy When she wearin' a tight belt The homies on the block can say whatever they say I don't wanna be a killer, I wanna be a Gates [Chorus 1: Ash Riser] In time, it'll come Just stay focused and humble, my son Show and prove, prove you're the one It's not about who is dopest Who wants it the most So just go out and get it Go out and get it Go out and get it Go out and get it [Verse 2: Kendrick Lamar] What I gotta do in order to see success? Havin' the world's best to call me the best? Pull up at the Grammy Awards as best dressed? With an address next to a beautiful actress? Do I gotta run in your spot and start blastin'? Better yet, rob the nearest Nix Check Cashing? Ear hustle on a nigga that's constantly braggin'? Catch him at the light, snatch him out his Jeep wagon? Or maybe I gotta hook up with José Cop 5 bricks of the yay, head to the Bay Area, or carry the birds to VA Let the Clipse distribute the work all day Then come back home Every three weeks, flip three to six zones Homies on the block can say whatever they want I don't wanna be a dealer, I wanna be a Trump Donald, that is [Chorus 2: Ash Riser & Kendrick Lamar] In time, it'll come Just stay focused and humble, my son Show and prove, prove you're the one It's not about who is dopest Who wants it the most So just go out and get it (And when I do I do it again Then I go back When I do I do it again Then I go back Thug it out) Go out and get it (But for now I'ma go head and thug it out I gotta rhyme, rhyme) Go out and get it Go out and get it [Verse 3: Kendrick Lamar] So welcome to the story of my life See, I'm tryna get to get right off the shit that I write Make a fortune, buy some Porsches for my momma and my wife Pops engine in this old school run tight But as you listenin' to K D-O-T Man, me and my girl split the bucket of KFC She listenin' to Drake and all I can say is "Damn, these niggas that much better than me, baby?" I don't think this is meant to be 'Cause I'm always losin' self-esteem She paused the iPhone then said, "Huh?" I repeated what I said, then she replied, "Shut up You know you the best boy, you gotta keep doin' it But don't forget when you do, just keep you in it And never listen to what the industry say Don't be a typical artist, be more like Jay" Russell, Barry Gordy, Quincy Jones, Bob Johnson, Sean Combs, L.A. Reid Young black entrepreneurs did what it took to succeed, yeah So I gotta see success, I gotta make it off the Rosecrans steps Risin' to the top like a soda shook up 'Bout to pop, and I'll pop on whoever's in my way [Chorus: Ash Riser] In time, it'll come Just stay focused and humble, my son Show and prove, prove you're the one It's not about who is dopest Who wants it the most So just go out and get it Go out and get it Go out and get it Go out and get it
