Been nothing but, a CITY KID all my life,
Filled with struggles, pains and strife.
But, don't be mistaken, all these obstacles
Have done, is push me harder to achieve.
Yeah, I said it, ACHIEVE!
Achieve my goals and dreams because I set my life to a higher standard and chose to believe.
Yeah, I said it, BELIEVE!
Believe in myself and no one else.
Because no one else was going to give me a chance or a handout to work with.
I had to look within myself and put in that hard work to succeed.
Yeah, I said it, SUCCEED!
Succeed to reach my limits and go beyond.
Reaching my goals and taking no detours to get where I'm supposed to be.
You have to understand and see,
That life for me,
A CITY KID, it's not free.
Yeah, I said it, NOT FREE!
No five finger discounts for me.
Just hard work and determination, you see
It's not so easy getting to where I want to be.
And it damn sure isn't free, so please miss me with the excuses about how life was hard and how your life seemed as if you were the one, no one wanted buy, like that item on auction that went for the lowest bid.
I mean just look at me, you just listened to a success story of a low life CITY KID.
