VERSE
I Remember way back when I was just a kid
full of so much potential couldn't hold it with a lid

But to be a cool kid I had to dumb it down
Should of seen my face when I heard that sound
Hip hop blaring coming outta that box

Bunch of dudes standing there wearing hoodies with Nike shox. One dude just starts bobbing his head
Them words struck me so hard I thought I was dead
At least that's what I was until heard that verse

Now that was the moment the birthing of the curse
Stuck in the drug game but my music was first
If I've got so much talent but i feel so cursed

Try to find my way but I seem to be blind
Would things be different if I was signed
I've made wrong choices this is how I'm defined

Can't see past my choices can't see my frame of mind.

Can't stop me now I'm reaching for the stars.
Coming back to earth with some heavenly bars.
If dreams were locks my ambition is key.

Leading me down the path to achieve victory.
Verse
They call me projek toombz yea toombz for short

They said no one would ever appreciate any of my art
That I was doomed from start
I could never fit the part

People seem to think that I wasn't very smart
Cause I grew up ghetto with bad mentality
Living it up in this world in a false reality

Not concerned for the tragedies
Consequences or casualties
I look back now and I just laugh me

Chilling on stoop with all them boys
Hip hop blaring yea were getting destroyed
All those wasted years with my peers

Sitting around chugging beers
Never taking the time to see things clear
Putting in work so could get some air jordans

Cause back then that's what was important
They told us chasing stars wouldn't get us that far
But I find myself in front you spitting these bars.

Verse
Tell me to quit my dreams might as well be chasing stars
Ill get there soon enough getting closer with every bar

Gotta work to pay my rent gotta work to pay them bills
No time for music this working life $#&@ing kills
I'm physically ok my dream has suffered

Putting life on pause until it loads and buffers
Now I'm back at it a dream you'll never kill
My glass is half full and it will never spill

Got words spewing out like I'm mentally ill
Getting as epic as I can leaving shoes to fill
I leave my path wide open so anyone can follow

First I got some truth for all of u to swallow
To walk in my shoes you gotta give it your all
Half $$#ed efforts will leave you tripping as u fall

I pour my heart my soul my blood my tears
Walking with a head held high as the last of my peers.
