lyrics

[Verse 1]
Growing up I had a dream,
It wasn't just because,
Still got the same one,
Man I swear, this is love,
Came from the lowest of lows,
Can't dodge slowest of blows,
So when life hits, it's like I had my eyes closed,
Sealed shut, cause I like to stay off in my own space,
They say I'm wasting time, I do this at my own pace,
At any rate I set my goals inside these stepping stones,
I'd leave it up to fate but it's my fault I call the wreckage home,
Rising up from the ashes of what it once was,
A Pheonix lives inside of me, that's where the fire comes from,
A burning passion, I've turned it into reality,
Looking back at my past, never gave a fuck bout who was mad at me,
When actually, I've always seen just where this passion leads,
But that boils down to nothing if you never let the action speak,
And I'm a father, yeah I know I got priorities,
I've never liked authority or settled to conformity.

[Refrain]
So imma treat this right,
Yeah, imma treat this right,
I got goals with no ends in sight,
So imma treat this right.

[Verse 2]
Yeah I'm a father so I know I got priorities,
I've never liked authority or settled to conformity,
My children smiling at me, nothing else means more to me,
So pushing with this music really don't feel like a chore to me,
I feel I'm sure to be,
Charting on some top fives,
Congratulating high fives,
Celebrations in my life,
But,
I gotta work for that outcome so I strive,
To dedicate my days and nights to be whatever I like,
To hear you proud of me, legit, that is my highlight,
I've been beat down with sticks stones and words and somehow I've rised,
Above it with no budget for fake supporting and loving,
I've got the ball in my hands, now my only plan is running with it,
That's real shit,
No matter the perspective on it,
Don't care how you use my name long as respect is on it,
Beauty in the eye of the beholder,
And I'm holding on to dreams to paint a picture that's in vivid color.

[Refrain]
So imma treat this right,
Yeah, imma treat this right,
I got goals with no ends in sight,
So imma treat this right.
