I scribbled a stanza as my hands are trembling Great seven made heaven out of words I began to build a world that only I inhabit I got a habit of repping bout tragic *** I think I'm just passionate Tryna stay away while in the dark Hope I ain't crashing it Now my little hobby turned to cash Now I'm thinking bout who I'd be if I listened to doubt Said I'd never do it, well look at me now Young girl, old dream, old soul, oh dear Plan B, plan well, good luck, no fear Just wait and God'll tell you when the time's near But if I never jump then I die here Ain't gon' ride till you pick up speed Ain't think college is all you need And I don't blame your brainwashing on you, G It took me 19 years to finally start to believe And that's me, listen I'ma make it in the rain while I shine All about my money, don't waste my time Ain't nobody gon' bring me down I'm on an elevator I'm on to something greater Ain't nobody gon' take my crown Okay, this is for the kids with depression The ones whose parental expectations got them stressing The ones who would rather persevere Bust they ass trying to make it cause They ain't really living in the present They out here grinding, seeking perfect timing Tuning out the useless voices that discourage rhyming You the real job, I don't argue with my destiny And if my choices don't affect you, why you testing me? And as of late I've been asking God why he blessing me I could cry enough tears to fill the Chesapeake Hold it together girl, you deserve the world And if no one else will say it then I spit it to the mic In the studio when I lay and I play it when you discouraged I know chasing the impossible takes some courage And I can promise at the end of your journey when it's all said and done Won't nothing feel much better than hearing my nigga you won, ayy I'ma make it in the rain while I shine All about my money, don't waste my time Ain't nobody gon' bring me down I'm on an elevator I'm on to something greater Ain't nobody gon' take my crown I'm on an elevator I'm on to something greater
