Lyrics

[00:00.784][Intro: Napoleon Hill]
[00:01.085] "I want to describe my discovery in the simplest terms possible
[00:05.677] because it will reveal to you why it is true
[00:08.274] that whatever the mind can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve
[00:13.645] regardless of how many times you have failed in the past
[00:17.033] or how lofty your aims and hopes may be"
[00:19.939][Kendrick Lamar]
[00:20.616] Go getter, with no cheddar
[00:22.344] Just a white tee and a swap meet sweater
[00:24.629] My life is likely to see great endeavors
[00:27.034] But I can't win if I can't get it together
[00:29.505] What I gotta do in order to see success?
[00:31.911] Having the world's best to call me the best
[00:34.314] Pull up at the Grammy Awards as best-dressed
[00:36.506] with an address next to a beautiful actress
[00:38.941] A dollar and a dream, I feel J. Cole
[00:41.241] Word to the hole in my pocket and the hoes
[00:43.644] that don't wanna **** with a broke nigga with ambition
[00:46.283] But the last I checked, y'all was broke bitches
[00:49.110] Make a name for myself
[00:50.019] then bubble like the ass of Buffy when she wearing a tight belt
[00:53.227] The homies on the block can say whatever they say
[00:55.505] I don't wanna be a killer, I wanna be a Gates
[00:57.300][Chorus: Ash Riser]
[00:57.644] Take your time, it'll come
[01:01.959] Just stay focussed and humble my son
[01:06.755] Show and prove, prove you're the one
[01:11.393] It's not about who's dope, it's who wants it the most
[01:16.202] So just go out and get it
[01:21.845] Go out and get it
[01:26.516] Go out and get it
[01:31.301] Go out and get it
[01:35.552][Kendrick Lamar]
[01:36.052] What I gotta do in order to see success?
[01:38.431] Having the world's best to call me the best
[01:40.802] Pull up at the Grammy Awards as best-dressed
[01:43.003] with an address next to a beautiful actress
[01:45.559] Do I gotta run in your spot and blasting?
[01:47.707] Better yet, rob the nearest Nix Check Cashing
[01:50.269] Hear a hustle from a nigga that's constantly bragging
[01:52.719] Catch him at the light, snatch him out his Jeep wagon
[01:55.062] Or maybe I gotta hook up with Jose
[01:57.455] Cop five bricks of the yay, head to the Bay
[02:00.034] Area, or carry the birds to the gate
[02:02.192] Let the clips distribute the work all day
[02:04.923] Then come back home
[02:06.999] Every three weeks, flip three-to-six zones
[02:09.302] Homies on the block can say whatever they want
[02:11.645] I don't wanna be a dealer, I wanna be a Trump
[02:13.304] Donald that is
[02:13.768][Chorus]
[02:31.941][Kendrick Lamar - over chorus]
[02:33.021] And when I do it, I do it again, then I go back
[02:35.126] When I do it, I'll do it again, then I go back
[02:37.482] Thug it out, but for now I'm willing to dug it out
[02:40.659] I gotta grind, grind
[02:42.078][Kendrick Lamar]
[02:52.772] So welcome to the story of my life
[02:54.475] See I'm tryna get right off the shit that I write
[02:56.787] Make a fortune, buy some Porsches for my momma and the wife
[02:59.051] Pop's engine in this old school run tight!
[03:01.464] But as you listening to K. D-O-T
[03:03.582] Me and my girl split the bucket at KFC
[03:05.960] She listening to Drake and all I can say
[03:08.471] Damn, these niggas that much better than me?
[03:11.030] Baby, I don't think this is meant to be
[03:13.712] cause I'm always losing self-esteem
[03:15.955] She paused the iPhone, then said huh
[03:18.002] I repeated what I said, then she replied shut up
[03:20.539] You know you the best boy, you gotta keep doing it
[03:22.902] But don't forget when you do, just keep you in it
[03:25.270] And never listen to what the industry say
[03:27.539] Don't be a typical artist, be more like Jay
[03:30.008] Russell, Barry Gordy, Quincy Jones
[03:33.066] Bob Johnson, Sean Combs, L.A. Reid
[03:36.489] Young black entrepreneurs did what it took to succeed, yeah
[03:39.504] So I gotta see success
[03:42.034] I gotta make it off them Rosecrans steps
[03:44.380] Rising to the top like a soda shook up
[03:46.770] Bout to pop, and I'll pop on whoever's in my way
[03:49.081][Chorus]
[03:49.381][Kendrick Lamar - over chorus]
[03:51.191] Yeah, I swear to God I don't wanna do it, just live man
[03:57.257] I wanna live good
[04:02.221] Just wanna make my momma proud, y'know?
[04:08.678] I don't wanna be hard, I don't want the most stripes
[04:11.928] I got lil' brothers and sisters man, I'm the oldest nigga
[04:14.335] I just want it, I just want it
[04:24.442] and I'ma get it
