Success Is Revenge

Society told me that I should be a lawyer…
Or a doctor, I’m sorry to disappoint ya’
But I thought that I ought ta’ do what I wanna
You can let them write your story but I’ma be my own author
Parents stressing, every second, get yo’ act together
Pen a sentence; ask the question, can I rap forever?
Yes! It’s more than music, this shit is therapeutic
I would lose it like remotes if I couldn’t share this movement
I’ma do it but they doubtin’, see the hate in their eyes
They hollerin’ and they howling, but they snakes in disguise
I cut the grass, came down to earth, the smoke has been cleared
They don’t wanna see me blow ‘cause they ain’t going nowhere
That’s what they don’t get, they be trapped by freedom’s twin
I can’t stand to be complacent, so I’m always dreaming big
Ask me what I do it for, I’m tryna’ aid the kids
Success is not an option, it’s the only way to live
We was raised about the same but with age some things changed
I’m still down to risk it all and they just wanna play it safe
But that ain’t me, crunching numbers…or typing at a desk
I ain’t dissing your careers but I won’t settle for nothing less
Than leaving marks on this planet, when I’m gone, they gon’ remember
That infinity is just a thought and MaJiK is forever
…when I’m gone, they gon’ remember
…Infinity is Just A Thought…MaJiK is forever
