Be a Beast

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
