Never thought you'd make it here
Make it fair, let me make it clear
You're a music missionary with a sacred ear
Let's take it there, you can do things people dream about
Scheme about, believe in your ideas then scream 'em out
Never lead without, a purpose you believe in now
Cause if you never quit some day they gon' read about ya
Keep making hits until you fix why you're freakin' out
Stop holdin' your tongue, best use it to start speakin' out
And hold up them signs, if it works for who your leading out
Start making your food, you don't always need to be eatin' out
And focus your lens, how can you expect me to see without
Do it for your friends, if you still tryna lead 'em out
Can I make a couple racks at a show? I don't know
Can I raise a few stacks and let 'em go? I don't know
Can I count on you to hold me down? I don't know
I'ma do what I can while I'm around, let's go
A young man on the grind for his people, for his people
A young man, he tried for his people, for his people
A young man, he died for his people, for his people
A young man, gon' rise for his people
Give back to the place that made you who you are today
But don't eat that dish if it ain't how you ordered it
Cause I know what I like, I know what I need
And I don't want no advice, I know what I see
I said what's wrong witcha, feels like the hatin' took a toll on ya
It's the wrong picture, I'm 'bout to lose control on ya
Never gon' switch up, I just might have to roll on ya
I'm born soldier, don't let me get ahold of ya
I'm tired of this here, I'm 'bout it this year
And you better not doubt it this year
I'm shoutin' it's clear, I bought myself some time
I bought myself some time it was expensive
I had to put it back on the rack but I'ma get it
Made sure it was the right fit, research extensive
Now I'ma make something you never gon' forget it
It's leavin' a legacy for a real cause
We should honor while we're livin', no matter the cost
Can I make a couple racks at a show? I don't know
Can I raise a few stacks and let 'em go? I don't know
Can I count on you to hold me down? I don't know
I'ma do what I can while I'm around, let's go
A young man on the grind for his people, for his people
A young man, he tried for his people, for his people
A young man, he died for his people, for his people
A young man, gon' rise for his people
