chorus:
Im on my way
So mark my words
that we'll be okay
Someday think back and laugh about it all
and I can give you everything that you want
verse:
Ive always had me a great sense of humor
ive made a mends with my past present and future
dodged troopers bricks in a mini cooper stupid
women seduced me kept it cool like Koozies though
these undertones raised in a honeycomb
where drug money owned those who oppose to never come home
it all ties back to family
still goose bumps when the planes landing never take it granted
chorus:
Im on my way
So mark my words
that we'll be okay
Someday think back and laugh about it all
and I can give you everything that you want
2nd verse:
If you lookin you know where to find me im grinding
i really came from the bottom
its not a problem for some its hard to swallow
but leave it to us to emerge from the dust
so hush when we talk about that stuff
and tread lightly been struck twice by lightning
felt like the big guy upstairs didnt like me
passed on the nikes with gas prices rising
i stay pumping premium do it for my team and them
Hook:
Ive been putting in my time
just trying to get mine
Ive never been one to step on toes
I wanna get it on my own
These lips have had a taste of the finest
A beach house just to change up our climate
It feels good when your people all behind ya
you treat em right and theyll always co-sign ya
My family wished i was a simple man
I ran these streets like dindnt give a damn
these speeding tickets to keep my distance
my key existence to be persistent
or die trying im not lying
my futures hanging from arms reach
and I can feel it
Ive seen em buried in concrete I still see it
you damn right this past life and road was bumpy but held tight and enjoyed the ride now making something statistics show the odds were we wouldnt make it was gifted though we conquered up just look at pay checks copies of stubs accountants showing me love im saving my bucks to build up my trust keeping my fist out of cuffs
Roths IRA & 401K ahead of the game im putting away old heads all tell me the same good looking out words from legends forever in debted Im sympathetic and never forget it ya
OPen UP Curtains looking out its all worth never been perfect but ill strive for it though my fingers crossed i dont get lost caught up in this HOuP LAH "BS" P.S. WISH ME THE BEST!
HOOK:
I yousta day dream about everything I wished
now it feels good scratching them up off my list
well its a blessing just to be here in the flesh
time is of the essecnce gonna give till nothings lef
verse:
Ya im that golden boy young De La Hoya
fast life getting right no more paranoia
new ventures my mentors run sectores
winnin re elections pensions no tension got some good insentives
i put my best foot foward life on the line
thought id never leave that corner
for a couple hundred bucks spent some months in the "HOOSCOW"
MADE IT OUT FREE AND CLEAR HEY LOOK AT ME NOW!!
they made me an example cause i really didnt know
now i pour my heart out everytime i do a show
nestled in a 5 star hotel on the road
wake up in a new city tell the driver Go!
seen some old faces from way back in the day
sharing war stories thanking god we got away
yeah its funny now but imagine if we didnt
cuz everything we're doing its always to the limit
HOOK:
I yousta day dream about everything I wished
now it feels good scratching them up off my list
well its a blessing just to be here in the flesh
time is of the essecnce gonna give till nothings lef
verse:
looking back time flies
packed bags everytime
we misscommunicate
walk into a room you illuminate
Q&A'S for proof i didnt slip away
I talk trash while jet lagged we counting cash
last laughs got know how raised brows
i know that look it wasnt me crossed fingers
my past lingers a dead ringer im a dreamer
Martin Luther papas Jr. Hallelujah
whats it to ya old soul im so cold i tip toe
on egg shells the pain still dwells there
just know im here and i care
bygones caught me up on a nikon
a nice one more lies nice try sly guy city slicker

hook:
All I know
it wasnt all my fault
I tried to change my ways
still u are the one i want
2nd:
listen up hear my position
its never enough or nonexistent
well i got down to business and listed
these consequenses its common
im often off and its constant
the conflict im on hold dealt with it Bravo
held on now Vamos
these clean slates i leave late to debate
while she waits for my sake
i got faith ya my right arms up Yup
swear on the book I just look i never touch
whats not mine im fine im tryin to do right for us both
I hope we coast through the drama well im a dime a dozen
define my lovin now give me the time honey
hundreds under the mattress im giving you access
forgive me my accsent its hard to understand
sometimes im forgetting u dont comprehend
its just the way i am going out on a limb damn.
hook:
All I know

I tried to change my ways
still u are the one i want
HOOK:
Just trying to get my meals served on
Gold & only Silver platters
i know i gotta work hard for it
and nothing else ever mattered
and ive been told to dream on
well my dreams are what im going after
i feel like we've come so far from where we started
but all i see is progress
verse:
fresh starts filled carts my car parks with no assistance
id complain but who would listen
this boat life gone fishing
these city lights they seem bright but at a distance it only glistens
been gun ho since first blood Rambo
now Lambos 2seats we tango
eat mangos we keep it tropic
its only logic we keep the profits and reinvest it what we connect with
HOOK:
Just trying to get my meals served on
Gold & only Silver platters
i know i gotta work hard for it
and nothing else ever mattered
and ive been told to dream on
well my dreams are what im going after
i feel like we've come so far from where we started
but all i see is progress
2nd:
these late nights and lifestyle
has got me reaching for penthouses
these suede couches its hard to keep me
from thinking we came from nothing
juggling a couple of jobs
supporting the cause and avoiding the laws
faced 10 for minute bounced back with a vengance
still stuck with my circle
cuz they cant turn us a witness
givin the shirt off my back
now holding keys to a lac
we raise our glasses and toast
and we just laugh cuz we know
HOOK:
Just trying to get my meals served on
Gold & only Silver platters
i know i gotta work hard for it
and nothing else ever mattered
and ive been told to dream on
well my dreams are what im going after
i feel like we've come so far from where we started
but all i see is progress
