I didn't come this FAR to only come this FAR.

lyrics

[Intro]
Yeah
You know
People always be talking like:
you can’t do this, you can’t do that
At the end of the day
They will NEVER know all the sacrifices you’ve been making...

[Hook] (x2)
I didn’t come this FAR
to only come this FAR
I never let anybody tell me who I ARE
This is my life, Imma shine like a star
Cuz I didn’t come this FAR to only come this FAR

[Verse 1]

Man it did start in the Motherland
then spread it out to some other lands
People be chasing the waves
Nothing new under the sunny land
Back to the future I was a kid
Only one goal was to be happy
Man I was reckless and brave
Didn’t care ‘bout being VIP
Mommy around that was all I needed
Matter of fact was her VIP
From the cradle to the grave
I will accomplish my D.U.TY
You don’t know what you got till it’s gone
I swear to God I knew what I had
Can’t never forget what she gave
Memories never erased, forever saved!
Man I was hanging out in these streets
At home the crisis was a real sh*t
Things falling apart, bottomless pit
I tried to runaway from my sh*t
But it kept coming back like this
One day I just decided to face it
Embrace it for inner peace
So I can be all I must be

[Hook] (x2)
I didn’t come this FAR
to only come this FAR
I never let anybody tell me who I are
This is my life, Imma shine like a star
Cuz I didn’t come this FAR to only come this FAR

[Verse 2]
No time to waste (no time to waste)
Gotta make moves (the time is now)
I elevate (vibrate higher)
I motivate (yeah yeah)
I’m going in (gotta go hard)
I figured it out (I figured it out)
You might count me out (whatever!)
But they count me in (yeah yeah)
Whatchu know about the pressure when your fam relies on
you
And you do feel like the weight of the world
All eyes on you
You just know you gotta go and get it by any means
And that’s how you end up saying to yourself such things:
Gave my blood, sweat and tears
Man I have no f*****g fears
Fortune favors yes I’m bold
In my own lane I’m Usain Bolt
Finna find my pot-of-gold
I will never sell my soul
Best believe me I won’t stop
TIL I GET ERRTHING I DESERVE!!

[Solo trumpet]

[Hook]
I didn’t come this FAR
to only come this FAR
I never let anybody tell me who I are
This is my life, Imma shine like a star
Cuz I didn’t come this FAR to only come this FAR
