Determined

[Sample]

I want to describe my discovery in the simplest terms possible

Because it will reveal to you why it is true

That whatever the mind can conceive and believe

The mind can achieve

Regardless of how many times you may have failed in the past

Or how off day your aims and hopes may be

[Verse 1: Kendrick Lamar]

Go-getter with no cheddar

Just a white tee and a swap meet sweater

My life is likely to see great endeavors

But I can't win if I can't get it together

What I gotta do in order to see success?

Havin' the world's best to call me the best?

Pull up at the Grammy Awards as the best dressed

With an address linked to a beautiful actress?

A dollar and a dream, I feel J. Cole

Word to the hole in my pocket and the hoes

That don't wanna fuck with a broke nigga with ambition

But the last time I checked, y'all was broke bitches

Make a name for myself then bubble like the ass of Buffy

When she wearin' a tight belt

The homies on the block can say whatever they say

I don't wanna be a killer, I wanna be a Gates

[Chorus 1: Ash Riser]

In time, it'll come

Just stay focused and humble, my son

Show and prove, prove you're the one

It's not about who is dopest

Who wants it the most

So just go out and get it

Go out and get it

Go out and get it

Go out and get it

[Verse 2: Kendrick Lamar]

What I gotta do in order to see success?

Havin' the world's best to call me the best?

Pull up at the Grammy Awards as best dressed?

With an address next to a beautiful actress?

Do I gotta run in your spot and start blastin'?

Better yet, rob the nearest Nix Check Cashing?

Ear hustle on a nigga that's constantly braggin'?

Catch him at the light, snatch him out his Jeep wagon?

Or maybe I gotta hook up with José

Cop 5 bricks of the yay, head to the Bay

Area, or carry the birds to VA

Let the Clipse distribute the work all day

Then come back home

Every three weeks, flip three to six zones

Homies on the block can say whatever they want

I don't wanna be a dealer, I wanna be a Trump

Donald, that is

[Chorus 2: Ash Riser & Kendrick Lamar]

In time, it'll come

Just stay focused and humble, my son

Show and prove, prove you're the one

It's not about who is dopest

Who wants it the most

So just go out and get it

(And when I do I do it again

Then I go back

When I do I do it again

Then I go back

Thug it out)

Go out and get it

(But for now I'ma go head and thug it out

I gotta rhyme, rhyme)

Go out and get it

Go out and get it

[Verse 3: Kendrick Lamar]

So welcome to the story of my life

See, I'm tryna get to get right off the shit that I write

Make a fortune, buy some Porsches for my momma and my wife

Pops engine in this old school run tight

But as you listenin' to K D-O-T

Man, me and my girl split the bucket of KFC

She listenin' to Drake and all I can say is "Damn, these niggas that much better than me, baby?"

I don't think this is meant to be

'Cause I'm always losin' self-esteem

She paused the iPhone then said, "Huh?"

I repeated what I said, then she replied, "Shut up

You know you the best boy, you gotta keep doin' it

But don't forget when you do, just keep you in it

And never listen to what the industry say

Don't be a typical artist, be more like Jay"

Russell, Barry Gordy, Quincy Jones, Bob Johnson, Sean Combs, L.A. Reid

Young black entrepreneurs did what it took to succeed, yeah

So I gotta see success, I gotta make it off the Rosecrans steps

Risin' to the top like a soda shook up

'Bout to pop, and I'll pop on whoever's in my way

[Chorus: Ash Riser]

In time, it'll come

Just stay focused and humble, my son

Show and prove, prove you're the one

It's not about who is dopest

Who wants it the most

So just go out and get it

Go out and get it

Go out and get it

Go out and get it
