Destined to Shine

[Intro]

Waiting for my moment

Waiting for my moment, I was destined to shine

Waiting for my moment I was destined to shine

Shine

[Verse 1]

Feeling the pain I went through just make me want it

I would've had a studio but I just can't afford it

Days rapping on the answering machine tape recorder

Searching for change for the jukebox saving quarters

I fell in love with the game at a young age

Thinking that I might be as good as Jay one day

I'm looking past all the attempts to ruin my perception

I would ask 'em what I did, but who am I to question

I'm still standing in the booth, I knew that I was destined

Shout out to Destined though, this my destiny

Measure the spoon for greatness, gotta put me in the recipe

You best believe my efforts be effortless but the best of me

Is what you're gettin' every single time that you get to me

Usually settled, but heard a miracle's near and see

I'm working music medical, words are lyrical therapy

So here it be, I never mute it, my music is therapeutic

I do this for the teachers and the tutors

The parents and the students

From geekiest to the coolest

To the girls that be the rudest

This is all y'all music

Sick flow, cough cough cough, hall flu shit

Now you need a hall pass

I'm as off the wall as NFL Street when you throw an off the wall pass

And it look like I'm playing in large pads

Jet 2 blast off, now I need a launch pad

Waiting on the moments that my flow will probably launch

And I can prove the judges and perception killers wrong

And even out the odds and get my back up off the wall, damn

And you can tell that I go through a lot

But I just hear 'em tell me, "Jet 2, I told you to stop."

But quitting's hard when you're halfway on the road to the top

And they just hope you would drop

Bumpin' India. Arie feelin' cool like

How can I live one day without music

Really can't sing, but I'mma try until I learn it though

I'mma make sure in every way that you heard my soul

'Cause I can hide behind the smiles, but I'm hurtin' though

I'm hot-headed, winter coat, spittin' furnace flow

Tryin' to stack a bunch of cake, but I ain't tryin' to burn the dough

I ain't tryin' to burn it though

'Cause I ain't learned to cook, but ain't nobody perfect though

I guess the audience is first to know

I never open up to anything until the verse is closed

Meaning that you'll never see me open up in person

Unless I close my guard down and spoke a couple verses

But the verses that I speak are never spoken up in person

I'm kind of dealing with a holy war, a couple curses

But I'm destined to be victorious when I emerge 'em

I never quit, I guess I'm just a heaven of a person

I slip a few, but get an extra seven from the first one

But they don't understand me though

They just wanna see him break, they just get mad he don't

Sad the only thing that they remember from this man is quotes

That's all he got, so stopping, just understand he won't

To make a long story short, I'm just

(Waiting for my moment, I was destined to shine)

I'm just

I'm just (waiting for my moment, I was destined to shine)
