Ni El 20%

Time flies by fast and sometimes slow
But it’s the feeling
That defines everything
As a kid, I wished to grow up to bring in cash
Never had toys
Maybe that was the deal
Not envy, but I would’ve liked
Not to be the kid on the sidelines
But that’s how it went, so it is what it is

If you don’t grow up, you get left behind and eaten alive
That’s why since I was a kid
I always looked for a way
My grandparents taught me to take hits
They raised me like a son
And I really appreciate that
I lost my dad, but I had my mom
I always told her that when I grew up
I’d take care of everything

I walked to school because we didn’t have a car
And carrying a dime was rare for me
A soda in a bag and a sweet roll
That was my breakfast, and if I say it
It’s not a complaint
That’s how my years were, and those times shaped me
If it weren’t for that, I wouldn’t be standing here

They say for my age, I’ve achieved a lot
I just listen to them
And stay quiet
They think you only stand out with the crooked stuff
But what I have
I’ve earned it the right way
I haven’t even hit twenty percent
And the dreams I had at some point
I’ve made them all come true

I have a direct line to the universe
That’s how this works
And it’s not that complicated
Many say it’s all lies and bullshit
Those don’t believe in anything
And live all tight
They need to have faith to achieve everything
But they’re more negative than shit
That’s why they’re in a hole

What’s spoken becomes reality
That’s how men are forged
The awake question, and the asleep are content
If I don’t like where I am
I go for what I deserve
Feeling the adrenaline
Is the beauty of the uncertain
If you don’t risk it, you don’t win
And it’s a good experiment
To know if you’re gonna be a boss or a fool
