Pure Intentions

You know I have been thinking to myself

Like inspite of all the changes I′ve gone through

My intentions never changedI mean I wanted to do this and Im doing it,

And thats something I gotta learn to appreciate so shout out to myself

Thanks Tom

It all started with imaginations of me on TV or somewhere else

With flashing camera lights

And at the centre of the spotlight is just myself

But for me to do it, it required sacrifice and adjusting myself

Too young and very big dreams I was just over twelve

Tried to get some aid, noone ever helped

But I understand, it's a cold world and every mans for himself

Learned to do it the hard way had to fend for myself

Broke a few rules just to put some trophies on my shelf

And profits on my pockets I made some gains for my self

Cleared all the doubts and put some faith on myself

Coz if it′s me against the world I put the bet on myself

Super motivated always giving y'all the best of myself

Now it's me on top of the world I get the best for myself

They claim they understand

But they dont see this is a mystery science can′t even explain

Underestimated by most

But every time I make a move it feals like an overstep

Childhood dreams that came true I couldn′t ak for anything else

I got it all how I wanted it now im asking like whats next for myself

I was doing the wrong things for the right reasons

Hoping oneday I'll make a few millions

I had no choice but to go through it

It was too dirty and it did hurt me

But there was no way I could just give up

I was doing the wrong things but with pure intentions

Hoping oneday I′ll get a few rewards

Coz I didn't have shit now I let the cash speak

Safe to say that I earned it yeah

Young ambitious and broke that was me

Fighting against the odds it felt like the game was rigged

Felt like Im trynna build a mountain from pebbles

And beleiving that I can

Sometimes doubting like maybe I′m not as capable

Im not a religious man but my faith in this cause remains stable

I maybe a couragious man

Coz I've been known to take risks and turn tables

Like every other business man

I was tryna make this business sustainable

So I gave it all i got with hopes of getting rich

Only had one shot and no there was no repeat

Was out here doing the most coz I could not accept defeat

Tried to connect the dots just to avoid getting tricked

Coz all around im surrounded by frauds but still i keep it real

I got haters throwing insults, but can′t let em get under my skin

See if you are not about the paper then we not on the same team

Dropped a few hits now up on stages they pay me to make em scream

Proud of the man I become happy to say that I'm living the dream

I spend day time recording

And everymonth I'm getting cheques from royalty streams

Cash that in and thank myself for telling me to follow your dreams

I was doing the wrong things for right reasons

Hoping oneday I′ll make a few millions

I had no choice but to go through it

It was too dirty and it did hurt me

But there was no way I could just give up

I was doing the wrong things but with pure intentions

Hoping oneday I′ll get a few rewards

Coz I didn't have shit now I let the cash speak

Safe to say that I earned it yeah

Was down bad on the ground looking pitiful

Down broke and my world wasn′t beautiful

I prayed, hoped perservered and remaining true

Then changed roles and I switched up my attitude

Changed homes now I'm looking at a different view

Thank God when these blessing are added to you

Is what mom said everytime when she told me to pick a shoe

Still the star of this movie like pickachu

I know when the pain gets you down its gon feal like they shooting you

But I kept reminding myself that

It′s gonna get ugly before it gets beautifull

Tynna kill the pain it was time to get medical

Tryna win the game it was time to get physical

When the money calls I answer coz I know thats a pretty call

Niggas say they loyal but leave when it's critical

Its times like that you need them they know but nobody calls

Told myself I got you and I′ll answer whenever you call

Don't depend on noone and noone apart from God

Always look up forward but don't forget where I′m from

Niggas want what I got don′t forget the streats is cold

They don't care bout what drives me they only care about my gold

So fuck em

Coz I done broke the cycle now I′m balling my wishes came true

I let money do the talking I'm silence I know the cash rules

I done levelled up made a difference now I can′t go back to when

I was doing the wrong things for right reasons

Hoping oneday I'll make a few millions

I had no choice but to go through it

It was too dirty and it did hurt me

But there was no way I could just give up

I was doing the wrong things but with pure intentions

Hoping oneday I′ll get a few rewards

Coz I didn't have shit now I let the cash speak

Safe to say that I earned it yeah

Young and ambitious me tryna put my mark on the world

Dedicated coz the mission is king,

And after knowing what the vision is

There is no way Im going back

I signed up for this challenge

Knowing very well that there is no easy way out

I put my whole gang on the grind

But if we ain't about the same goals tell a nigga get the fuck out

I gotta contingency in place just incase things don′t work out

But why wouldn′t they work out when all my intentions are pure,

I got zero doubts

Thank God I beleive in me I know that faith is a cure

So when I pray say deliver me from being broke in this world

I hope that I will forever be getting the money back to back

At this point know I Know I'll never be going back to being broke

Coz everytime I try to take a break

I hear voices in my head saying never stop

Everytime I look in the morror and see my reflection smiling back,

I get so proud of myself

Coz I got me for life, it′s just me and myself

Trusting people only gave me a broken heart man fuck these fealings

Had to learn to believe in my self so I put all my faith in my lyrics

Was going all in gues you can't float untill you do a little sinking.

(But thats how you learn)

Haven′t done any TV interviews yet

But im guessing sooner or later they'll be asking how I did it

And I′ll be generous enough to share with them the blueprint

Coz like I said my all intentions are pure,

I want my people to grow so If they knock I will open the door

Thinking forward coz I'm at the point of no return

When I remisce the past like every choice I ever made

Lead me to this point it was all part of the plan

Now I understand the Im looking at the bigger picture

Out of the mud smiling i did it with my own formula

Now noone can tell me you owe me that

I don't owe you none, You don′t know me man
