Ticket

[Intro]

Man, where I'm from

There's a lot of hurt people

A lot of people who just let go

Let go of that dream, that vision

The difference between success and not success

Is those that are willing to be broke

Check it out

[Verse 1]

Better hop on that bus, better pick up that backpack

Better pack you a lunch

Better not look back, Jack, you don't wanna be poor then

Better hop on that truck

Got so sick of these food stamps, loose change in a soup can

And I cannot sell dope, I am dope

But I can't gеt there by hanging with you, man

If you ain't lifting me up, you'rе holding me down

Might as well dig a hole in the ground, I'm dead to it

On my way to this work, and my team is a small circle

You’re trying to fit a square peg through it

You got a big idea, yeah, I know, who don't?

Difference is who will and who won't

I ain't dissin', I'm just saying, I'm goin' missin'

And I'll hit you when I'm finished with this mission

[Chorus]

Man, if I could just kick it

I'd kick it all day, I'd hang around and recline

But I'm chasing that ticket

Yeah, I come from nothing at all

I will not fail, I won't fall

So, nah, I can't kick it

I got limited time, can't hang around and recline

'Cause I'm chasing that ticket

I come from nothing at all

I will not fail, I won't fall

I'm off chasing that ticket

[Verse 2]

He had him a good job, then he had him a couple kids

Had a dream of becoming a fighter pilot

Now he's thirty-five and he ain't doin' shit

Man, I hate that for him

I know you love your kids, I know that you adore 'em

I know you wanna stick around and be there for 'em

But if you wanna fly, you gotta leave that for 'em

To believe that for 'em, to go see that for 'em

It's a hard decision to not be that normal

To conceive that vision, manifest that for 'em

To go get that wealth and invest that for 'em

But this ain't for everybody, this I know

I just wish some of y'all wouldn't let go

But I ain't stickin' around to see how it goes

Uh-uh, baby, I gotta roll

[Chorus]

Man, if I could just kick it

I'd kick it all day, I'd hang around and recline

But I'm chasing that ticket

Yeah, I come from nothing at all

I will not fail, I won't fall

So, nah, I can't kick it

I got limited time, can't hang around and recline

'Cause I'm chasing that ticket

I come from nothing at all

I will not fail, I won't fall

I'm off chasing that ticket

[Verse 3]

Don't tell me I'm trippin'

Just watch me go get it and see how I'm livin'

Don't tell me to stop

I'll only go harder, and when I get to the top

I'll send you a postcard or a photo of me

Holdin' the stacks in the double bag or me on a track

Holdin' a trophy or checkin' flags, no, losin' ain't fun

I'm so used to it now that I could lose everything that I had and sit back and smile

I know failure is certain, but only before the win

If a tornado's comin', I throw a kite in the wind

Life is a marathon, ride a bike in it then

Who gives a fuck if they see you broken? Fight 'til the end, uh

Sometimes, I celebrate, get wasted

Open up a Creek Water bottle, and chase it

But I never take my eyes off that prize, besides

I gotta pay for this spaceship

[Chorus]

Man, if I could just kick it

I'd kick it all day, I'd hang around and recline

But I'm chasing that ticket

Yeah, I come from nothing at all

I will not fail, I won't fall

So, nah, I can't kick it

I got limited time, can't hang around and recline

'Cause I'm chasing that ticket

I come from nothing at all

I will not fail, I won't fall

I'm off chasing that ticket

[Outro]

Nah, man, I can't (Kick it)

Hell nah, I can't (Kick it)

Gotta go, I can't (Kick it)

Gotta roll, I can't (Kick, kick, kick, kick)

Can't (Kick it)

Gotta roll, I can't (Kick it)

Gotta go, I can't, can't (Kick, kick, kick, kick)

I can't (Kick it)
