Motivation, you gotta believe from within. Keep it real, you should never
Feel the need to pretend.
When you're down, they blow you down like leaves in the wind.
Can't tell the difference between enemies and your friends.
First nobody could stand him. Then I was a stand-in. Now I'm voted most
Likely to be the last standing.
I know who I am. I just know I wasn't the man when I was broke and
Struggling nobody gave a damn then.
Walk a day in my shoes, your feet probably be bruised. I aint rich by any
Means, don't get it confused.
They just picture me rollin', so I let them assume. But I aint on this grind
For nothing I'm paying dues.
Gotta fight to live I done been in that tussle.
I've got one life to live that imminent hustle thick skinned and combative I
Battle any rebuttal.
It was dark now I see light at the end of the tunnel.
I'm going in
(Chorus)
(Moss)
Long as I'm living in the moment. I'll be forever young.
It aint over til it's over. It aint over till we've won.
I know exactly where I'm going, somewhere I've never been before.
The future's not clear but now that we're here I know we were meant for
More.
I've got the city on my shoulders, that's who I do it for.
It's as if we all were soldiers, we were meant for war.
(Moss)
It's funny how people can start with the same view. Then let politics and
Yes-men get 'em confused.
Most jump ship when they sink. They pick and choose.
But you don't know the true feeling of winning if you don't lose.
Weight of the city on my shoulders I carry it. Haters see the hits comin',
They tryin to parry it.
But I'm loving every minute of the hustle. I'd marry it.
That's why every track I get on I murder and bury it.
Used to run in circles. Now it's detailed lines.
Everybody's got a story. Shit, let me tell mine.
They say stick to what you know. So I'll stick to the grind.
Make sure you get your money's worth. Every nickle and dime.
Played the hand I was dealt. Never been about bluffing.
I build a slow buzz. Never said it was when it wasn't.
Got my hustle up. Cause I aint on the grind for nothing.
And do I feel like the best? YES. End of discussion
It's MOSS
(Chorus)
Long as I'm living in the moment. I'll be forever young.
It aint over til it's over. It aint over till we've won.
I know exactly where I'm going, somewhere I've never been before.
The future's not clear but now that we're here I know we were meant for
More.
I've got the city on my shoulders, that's who I do it for.
It's as if we all were soldiers, we were meant for war.
