diran - on my way lyrics

[intro]
ay, is this thing on?
one+two, check

[verse 1]
i’m still living by the same code
if you ain’t know, you can ask around
the son of david’s saving
and he ain’t even got a bank account
i know the system wanted me slinging rocks or just packing rounds
i bet they hate me now
cos i don made ’em mad with that cap and gown
yeah i graduated this summer
i graduated with honours
that certificate was like a emmy award
and i dedicate it to you momma
cos you ain’t never doubted me
and really all i ever wanna do is make you proud of me
so now i’m tryna find my feet
and make ends meet, while i’m chasing my dreams
putting in work at a 9+5
then hopping on stagе to inspire lives
gotta work hard to defy thе odds
if time don’t wait, then why should i?
man, the time is now or never
wat’chu know about my endeavours?
i feel like life handed me a couple lemons
and all i’m tryna do right now is make a beverage
and just last week, an old friend told me that i changed from the dude he remembered
but since he didn’t qualify the statement
i could only hope he meant to say “it’s for the better”
let me say it on the record
it’s live and learn, live and learn, live and learn, till my last breath
and really i been rocking and rolling with the king so long
graceland should be my address, but i digress
[chorus]
don’t get it twisted
i’m not here to play
i’m here on a mission
i know what they say
it’s not a sprint, it’s a marathon
but even that’s still a race
i’m not where i wanna be
but you can guarantee that i’m on my way
yeah, tell ’em that i’m on my way

[verse 2]
and you can take it to the bank
i feel it that i’m drawing closer
i really never lost my focus, yeah
still driven like i called a chauffeur, uh
and truth is, i’m so far from vocal
but you hardly notice, right?
i guess the loudest words are from the lips of those who are the softest spoken
rest in peace, mrs. rosa parks
that quiet strength is my goal
cos even though you and me were two worlds apart
i feel like the ‘you’ of my own
cos they expected us to comply
and we both had to fight and say no
and you were tryna change the world with your voice
and i’m just tryna do the same with these flows, yeah
and i don’t need n0body else tryna tell me “be faithful with little”
cos you know that it would be more than a little, if i had a nickel
and i ain’t impressed with these rappers that claim they be running the game
i just pray that i don’t pull a muscle or fall while i’m running my lane
and i know that i’m right where i’m s’posed to be
and he got his angels over me
so i’m pressing on, and i’m pressing in
until i’m everything that i was born to be
get the living water and let it flow from me
so that the world can see what i mean
forget what they told you
forget what they showed you
i’m living for something that’s bigger than me, aahhh
[chorus]
don’t get it twisted
i’m not here to play
i’m here on a mission
i know what they say
it’s not a sprint, it’s a marathon
but even that’s still a race
i’m not where i wanna be
but you can guarantee that i’m on my way
yeah, tell ’em that i’m on my way
don’t get it twisted
i’m not here to play
i’m here on a mission
i know what they say
it’s not a sprint, it’s a marathon
but even that’s still a race
i’m not where i wanna be
but you can guarantee that i’m on my way
yeah, tell ’em that i’m on my way
