Moving back and forth when I’m supposed to move forward
Life is a gift, and I appreciate mine
I’m really happy for the people who gave a meaning to it
Those are my family, and everything they do for us
Things might not be going the way that you planned them
But you don’t gotta give up, you just gotta try
Somebody might be living better than you, but they’re not perfect
God knows your future, so just live your life
And try to make it better, never look at anybody’s
You’re just holding yourself back against the wall, buddy
Give thanks and appreciation for what you have
Get along with the fact that you’re not perfect, don’t be sad
Because some things are only temporary
Like the tough 31 days of January
What I mean is your happiness is within you
Never feel worthless when you don’t do what they do
The only competition you should be having is you
No need for bothering your mother
Tryna get attention from the people who wasn’t there in the first place for you
Tryna be expensive when you can’t even afford it
When you’d rather work hard ‘cause you still got time
But still, even if you make it, never try to impress somebody
Unless it’s yourself or your family
Let them love you the way that you are, never for what you got!
Some people try to fit in because of peer pressure
You’re smoking just because your friends do it
Trust me, they won’t be there when you get cancer
On your death bed!
They never loved you, decide before you reach the edge
People who care for you never let you do wrong things
But if they care for you, they’ll build you up instead of kill
They’ll never come to you, letting you smoke and drinking booze
You need to check all the sides before you even choose
Because the real friends are those you don’t have to impress
They are people who want you living life without stress
They will accept you the way that you are
Don’t find yourself going forth, the next minute, you’re going back
Because the real friends are those you don’t have to impress
They are people who want you living life without stress
They will accept you the way that you are
Don’t find yourself going forth, the next minute, you’re going back
Some people take photos and videos instead of helping
They wanna picture the moment when someone’s life is ending
This social media generation is gassed up, the world is ending
I wonder why they’re still standing
And if they’re helping people, they still gonna post the videos
They feel like if they don’t post, nobody gon believe at all
God is watching you, no need for you to show me what you do
I know it’s inspiration to others, so I’m not judging you
I get it; You wanna make it in life within a minute
You don’t have to rush anything just because someone is living
Life with some money, driving cars, getting all the women in the world
You got your own timeline, just listen:
Success is meant for everybody, as long as you’re committed
As long as you put in the hard work, as long as you’re believing in yourself
Trust the process, have patience; you with me?
Nothing ever comes easy in this life we’re living
Unless you wanna get yourself killed
Or maybe spend the rest of your life in prison
So, you don’t have a reason to do what they do
When life depends on how you live it
Feeling like I’m in a church ‘cause now they really got me preaching
People be grown up and still need to hear these teachings
They say I’m young to tell them what to do but when speaking
They’re gon listen unless there’s no progression in their lives
Unless you wanna spin in circles the rest of your life
I know it’s not possible but I’m tryna save the world
I don’t wanna keep all these thoughts to myself
I’m just tryna spread em through the world
I know there’s people who can hear my words
Speaking all these facts each and every verse
All that quick money with the same effect on life
The rate of it coming an end is directly proportional
Depending on how you got it, you’ll never get it back
You think you’re moving forward but you are going back!
We’ve gotta see the blood and sweat, we call that a hustle
Life is moving forward and back, that’s why I’m humble
I’m giving you the lectures, because you need to learn
I want you to keep moving forward, no looking back
We’ve gotta see the blood and sweat, we call that a hustle
Life is moving forward and back, that’s why I’m humble
I’m giving you the lectures, because you need to learn
I want you to keep moving forward, no looking back
Let me further this introduction with another verse
Let me further explain it, how we’re moving back and forth
As if we’re moving from the number after 2
Tryna adapt to the sweet Life, it can be sour too
The only Thing I talk about when I’m in the booth
‘cause I’m the MC who’s trying not to crash the youth
I use my voice as a GPS when I’m leading you
Trust me, I’ve been through so much in this life, so when you LOSE
It’s not the end of the road, use the first letter of the word
Like how we use it in the school and replace the “OSE”
With the word “EARNING” for the knowledge
‘cause it is what you gain; the same letter stands for “LESSON”
It might be hard to understand, that’s how reality is
Scary at the same time the more you breathe
I’m tryna spread awareness; every verse, I use to teach
The future’s waiting, why you stopping when the light is green?
The same color the planet is losing every second
Just like humanity disappearing 24/7
And I don’t mean to Heaven, ‘cause in order to get there
We need to fix our attitudes while we’re living here
Moment of silence, this verse is deep…
Okay, so let me see
How much longer am I gon spend on an introduction?
Supposed to be 10 minutes, that minus 4 is nothing
We got a whole tape to go, considering that
I forward 10 times the steps than when going back
The patience I have, one song could take a year
Either to finish writing, or even for me to complete the rap
That’s what I call “Not following trends”
The line before that has two meanings, what a stretch
Gotta comprehend, so if you don’t consider me the best
The conclusion is that you need to take a few steps back!
So you can move forth, a journey of a few steps
Everything above is the food for thought that’s been served
The message for everybody who needs the progress:
Start doing everything you can, that’s the process
Never wait for it, you gotta make it happen
You gotta go through hell before you see the Heaven
Do it for yourself by yourself that’s the test
Don’t depend on them, that’s how you’ll be the best
