Paving The Way ft. JasChubs & Nazzy Lyrics

See I'm trying to pave a way for the people that ain't have no hope

And no matter what they say, if they tell me stop, I'ma just go

Got the world in my hands and the game on lock in a choke

You gotta just go, you gotta just know

Look so dark at the bottom, I know if you keep looking for the dream you gon' find it

Shout out everybody still climbing, cause Id be wrong to quit right now before I find it

City gets gritty, but I'm staying out the way

I gotta be the one cause I can make a better way

Been around the city even when it wasn't safe

I gotta do this, this one's for my auntie in the grave

This one for my cousin who got stuck inside the system

Upstate I felt gifted, put me in a new position

Feel Like I just got a second chance, look at things different

So if I don't pave the way, then who else around me gone fix it

See I'm trying to pave a way for the people that ain't have no hope

And no matter what they say, if they tell me stop, I'ma just go

Got the world in my hands and the game on lock in a choke

You gotta just go, you gotta just know

If you don't know, I been locked up in the studio

Working on my verse, preparing for the radio

Shout out to tre, this how the classic supposed to go

So militant, we focused on a milli though

I remember sleeping down on the floor, I was broke

Ain't had no pot to piss in, but you know I'm about to blow

Working two jobs, tryna feed my daughter

I'm tryna be a better father

Charter school, anything you do, I'ma better you

Need a million to count before I let you go

You better know you're worth, don't sell you soul

They envy out here, I thought I'd let you know

They wanna see me down, wanna see me in the ground

Don't wanna see me with a crown, cause I'm a king

I rise above them all, feel like I'm Martin Luther

But I felt this feeling before, cause I had a dream

See I'm trying to pave a way for the people that ain't have no hope

And no matter what they say, if they tell me stop, I'ma just go

Got the world in my hands and the game on lock in a choke

You gotta just go, you gotta just know

I said I wouldn't be where I'm at if I just sit and play the back

I took life by the reins and turned mistakes into cash

I was the captain of the team and ever since, no looking back

So on the field or in the booth, I'm giving everything I have

I Came up off of soundcloud now I hit the stage and bring the crowd out

Remember they was laughing, the same people's in the crowd now

They say I knew you'd make it and I greet them with a wide smile

Cause they're the ones that pushed me and the reason why I'm on now

I made a business off a rap, they made a business off a cap

I made a business off you being in my business, now I laugh

And I told Tre keep going up, no don't let them dim your light

Investing everything in you is the ultimate sacrifice

And I said

Cause I tried to pave the way but they went the other way

And it hurt my soul, but tomorrow's a new day

And I'm trying to make a change for the city I call home

See I'm trying to pave a way for the people that ain't have no hope

And no matter what they say, if they tell me stop, I'ma just go

Got the world in my hands and the game on lock in a choke

You gotta just go, you gotta just know
