Take Control (feat. Mark Hannah)

I will not be defeated
I can't let you
Stand in my way
Not even myself

I used the pain to fuel me, buried deep inside
Spent my summers grueling, I was sleep deprived
While y'all was coolin
It cant be worth it less your heart into it, till embalmed in fluid
I done came too far to be defeated
Came too far to see the scenic
I know the haters can't believe it
I done made it off the cement
life's too short to be the fetus
I know I deserve it
I ain't perfect but I'm worth it
Yeah
You just got to be determined
Ugh
Tell them go and get your purpose
Its dedication not a sermon
Make no mistakes
Know you got a lot on your plate
But you still make time for your greats
Don't know how you do it
It's amazing how did it
If I was you I'd probably lose it
Ugh

Make no mistakes
Know you got a lot on your plate
But still you make time for your greats
Don't know how you do it
It's amazing how did it
If I was you I'd probably lose it

Just in the middle of nowhere, people are like
You know what, I think
I'm a have, like the shrimp fried rice
Just be like, I'm phenomenal
Just say that out of nowhere
Just say it
Cause it's true
Sometimes we teach people
To to treat us like
Like we're amongst the regulars
You're amazing

Can't vision proof your goals with blinded leaders
Plus their acceptance isn't needed
They'll discredit, say you cheated
But they don't know the strength it took us
It may not be there when you need it
If I don't make it, then that's me then
Moved to cali seventeen
I know my mama miss me, had to leave
How bad you want it?
Can't let nothing come up in between
I'm nourishedbyliz
Know everything you got against me
Yeah
Could never do me like I did me
Ugh
Plus when I failed, you wasn't with me
Nothing on this earth can tempt me
Make no mistakes
Know you got a lot on your plate
But still you make time for your greats
Don't know how you do it
It's amazing how did it
If I was you I'd probably lose it
Ugh

I can't let em, I can't let em
I can't let em, I can't let em, I can't let em

Make no mistakes
Know you got a lot on your plate
But you still you make time for your greats
Don't know how you do it
It's amazing how did it
If I was you I'd probably lose it

They done switched up on me
Betrayed me
Did whatever they could to throw a monkey wrench in the plans, in fact
My ex contacted me to apologize, to
Inform me of a book she writing with me in mind, and
That's how I know I'm close
It's either that or death
They may not want to respect your moves, or believe in you, but keep going
For some reason
Working on you make others feel offended
I believe any dream worth achieving is
Worth dying for
If not for yourself, find your why
We breaking cycles over here
Real life
