Be a Beast Lyrics

Be a beast, be a scholar

Be a writer, be a doctor

I could never let down no one

No, they should be proud of the man I've become

They've tried to push me down, but stood my ground, don't fear no one

They thought I'd turn and run, but I'll lose sleep until I've won

Came here, I was 17, my TV screen was selling dreams

And I had some difficulties, but I looked after what I need

But here I was telling myself, I'm trying so hard, but I'm getting no help

Worked my way up to the top of the shelf

I'm studying now and I'm building wealth

When I worked some tougher jobs I'd share the pain with other dreamers

Some people made it here but others did some misdemeanors

We'd think of future cars like Benzos, Lambos, Raris, Beamers

Filled out immigration papers, at the end of the day we're fortune seekers

Tryna make it in LA, it's hard for creative types like me

I remember my roommate, who said something that stuck with me

When he got me my first beer so our feelings would be drowned

He said just get it down, are you a man or a clown?

I'm a man, I'm a man I swear

Ain't too much I won't dare, call for me and I'm there I swear

Had quite of a journey getting up here

And I know that I'll make it

Cos my past inspires me to embrace it

In my mind I'm too strong

Never Surrender will title this song

I owe it to my people, who got me here but stayed at home

Was the only one in my whole town and family, I was all alone

Gonna be a success I swear, Grow myself from the seeds I've sown

Inspired by my roots, I've got ancestors in my ears saying

Be a beast, be a scholar

Be a writer, be a doctor

I could never let down no one, no they should be proud of the man I've become

They've tried to push me down, but stood my ground, don't fear no one

They thought I'd turn and run, but I'll lose sleep until I've won

Be a prince, be a pauper

Be a rapper, be an author

I could never let down no one, no they should be proud of the man I've become

They've tried to push me down, but stood my ground, don't fear no one

They thought I'd turn and run, but I'll lose sleep until I've won

Everybody asks where I will be in ten years time and I can see

That bright future in front of me, where music's gone successfully

And my fortune was so meant to be, from putting in work so endlessly

To reject those cards that were dealt to me and music took me pleasantly

Into a dream, something I need

Heating the mic up a hundred degrees

Got to the top and I did it with ease

Captain the ship and I'm running the seas

Life isn't like what you're seeing in shows, it's different if you had been in my clothes

I can't blame them it's money I know

They look at me different like I impose

They know I wasn't here from infancy, said where do you come from, Italy?

Nah, I come from Georgia originally, was Soviet not so distantly

Yeah the place where Stalin's from, had money with the face of Stalin on

Been a lot of powerful people in history books that I'll be on
