[00:01.61]So many nights I pray for the day
[00:06.18]I knew for my dream, I do whatever it takes
[00:11.37]Now here I stand, no one in my way
[00:15.96]And now I'm surrounded by all that people say
[00:20.84]Yeah, they told me time is of the essence
[00:23.25]I ain't sweating, I'm blessed, blessing the tenants
[00:24.71]While everybody changing, I never stray from my message
[00:26.88]As I sit inside my room, it's a tomb to every invention
[00:29.40]And every line that I never gave the time or attention
[00:31.67]I'm learning my lesson, you looking for a mention, it's funny
[00:34.15]What you would do for the approval of a room full of dummies
[00:36.52]You think I made it, but I'm stuck here serving burgers for money
[00:38.98]It’s funny how I’m selling beef for you to want beef from me
[00:41.52]My written turned into a vision, my vision to reality
[00:44.15]My chips are on my dream and you seem to try to devalue me
[00:46.56]Value me as less, I got no desk or a salary
[00:49.04]You value me by likes on my pictures, not personality
[00:51.51]Living my own reality, manifested my vision
[00:53.78]Looking at the sky, I thank God for what I was given
[00:56.35]Based on how I'm living, I'm wondering if I'll get it
[00:58.68]Your passion'll set you free and your fear is more like a prison
[01:01.05]We're driven, living life, hope I'm doing it right
[01:03.48]Went through hell with a knife, killed every demon in sight
[01:05.90]I went through darkness of night to find the brightest of light
[01:08.57]You're only dreaming at night, I turn my dream into life
[01:10.89]We're letting go of who left, you never thought it was right
[01:12.62]So many nights I pray for the day
[01:17.20]I knew for my dream, I do whatever it takes
[01:21.84]Now here I stand, no one in my way
[01:26.97]And now I'm surrounded by all that people say
[01:31.95]But I will never change at all-all-all-all-all
[01:37.01]I will never change at all-all-all-all
[01:41.80]I will never change at all-all-all-all-all
[01:46.56]I will never change at all-all-all-all
[01:51.61]I will never change at all
[01:51.79]Yeah, I could've never planned my life like this
[01:54.36]I graduated, got a job and still I chose just to write like this
[01:57.42]You see the people need advice like this
[01:59.23]Building something out of nothing, I ain't bluffing with a sight like this
[02:02.31]I know I'm nice when I write, you're like, "I don't get"
[02:04.78]A hater all over my Twitter like, "Mark, what's this?"
[02:07.23]It takes intelligence to listen, something I can't give
[02:09.65]I flip the prespective, you see what I just did?
[02:12.16]Do you get it? Now take a minute, no, it takes you a minute
[02:14.47]To keep it real, I'm still broke, but got beautiful women
[02:16.84]Who see me as an opportunity, not human
[02:18.80]Was given an opportunity from no one ever, who am I kidding?
[02:21.63]Fought for my vision, built a team who all believe in my passion
[02:24.21]I'm on my way out to LA, I wonder, "How did this happen?"
[02:26.63]I turned my dream into a team who all believe in my rap
[02:28.95]And you went from laughing to a picture where my lyrics are captioned
[02:31.67]And honestly, I want this more than ever breathing
[02:34.33]The people, they need a voice, I'm the voice of people believing
[02:36.69]My family all believing, it's all in me to achieve it
[02:39.06]Don't do it because we want it, we want it because we need it
[02:40.78]So many nights I pray for the day
[02:45.37]I knew for my dream, I do whatever it takes
[02:50.57]Now here I stand, no one in my way
[02:55.11]And now I'm surrounded by all that people say
[03:00.08]But I will never change at all-all-all-all-all
[03:05.16]I will never change at all-all-all-all
[03:09.95]I will never change at all-all-all-all-all
[03:14.64]I will never change at all-all-all-all
[03:19.76]I will never change at all
