Guts & Glory Lyrics

Uh look

I let my efforts validate me

These words are a bonus

Traffic stop you got no motion

I'm a diesel locomotive

On these tracks conducting

Till we reach our destination

Enjoy the journey

Don't wish your life away being impatient

Always looking for what's next missing the present

Time's precious

Take a minute before you put hours second

Watch the children they're delicate

That's why I stand firm on what I represent

Not overprotective but selective in all my messages

Gotta have understanding as a prerequisite

We need the youth to be fruitful in their development

I was overexposed early on and it was damaging

Some habits need to die it's too dangerous tryna manage em

Broken adults be hard to repair

The more the bottle tilts the less I care

Can make improvements once you become aware

I'ma lead by example much as can

And if I ever let you down don't forget I'm a mortal man

Not where I wanna be but I'm close

Got faith got drive got hope

Far from perfect so I'm not above reproach

If I was they'll have something to say though

Let em talk let em talk

Cuz it's more fuel for me

I'm gonna get what's mine baby you'll see

It's my life and I'm writing the story

Guts and Glory

Guts and Glory

I know I'm brave I know I'm brave go against the grain

You so ashamed living tamed following the same

Doing what there is to do not what you wanna do

Until you convinced thats what you wanna do

I wanna open up your mind not tryna come for you.

Help you grow into your own that's what discomfort do

Be courageous gain strength to embrace changes

Wasn't working out now your chin up when you left hanging

1, 2, 1, 2

Get the accolades and praises

For taking risks being bold

Searched the path least traveled

And struck gold now you on

In a position to win

Over and over on your terms

Put on your family and friends

Doing well see what you earned

Learned plenty fed many

Create jobs in your city

Legend get used loosely

But you mentioned the titles fitting

We controlling the narrative providing the context

Reputation of character they eager to dissect

See success from results

But it started with mindset

Left impressions in person

Touched people outside the net

What a threat

Black and talented bringing unity focused too

Impact speak volumes not just a local dude.

Had a lot more to gain than what you had to lose

Calculated each step before you made the move

To everyone who ever doubted had to show & improve

Acknowledge how far you came and be proud of you

Not where I wanna be but I'm close

Got faith got drive got hope

Far from perfect so I'm not above reproach

If I was they'll have something to say though

Let em talk let em talk

Cuz it's more fuel for me

I'm gonna get what's mine baby you'll see

It's my life and I'm writing the story

Guts and Glory
