19 Lyrics

Look

I'd be lying if I said I always knew what I wanted to be

But from the jump a nine to five it just weren't for me

My life's purpose is to create I knew that from the age of three

Took sixteen years to figure out what that meant to me

Pave my own path and discover some new scenery

Everyday I'm honing my skills like new abilities

Look up to the lord and ask what I'm meant to be

Graced By God on my neck now I'm next up in the scene

I used to lay awake at night praying for some better days

I used to work long shifts praying for some better pay

I used to hate myself for being lost, stuck in my ways

Now I'm on my grind man get the fuck up out my way

Coz I got big dreams and even bigger bills to pay

Always working even more when I'm in album mode

The call ain't about money? I'm not picking up the phone

I really thought by now you pussies woulda left me alone

Top of the charts, bought a crib, it's my first home

Mumma's is next, lot to do fore' I cop me a Rolls

Your competitions invalid if my name ain't on the polls

This is my life, can't sit back and watch it unfold

I would be nowhere if I did the shit that I was told

Made up my mind, die fore I give up on gold

The decision is mine, might be a lonely road

I pray that it's not, but I'm not scared to walk my life alone

My heart breaks as I watch my ma' get old

Tears fell like hair when my nan went bold

Seen so much shit in my time some scars went untold

I'll stop at nothing to make sure my stories told

Dreams of mansions count the days til my dreams unfold

Yeah

I've got a lot of work to do

keep working until I'm ninety two

If it means I achieve everything I set out to do

I've got a late start,

A lot of catching up to do

I made up my mind

I said I'd die if it's what it takes for gold

Yeah

I said I'd die if that's what it takes for gold

And I'll do it all and do some more before my mum gets old

Shit

I said I'd die if that's what it takes for gold

And I'll do it all and do some more before my mum gets old
