Success Is Destiny - The Grouch

Success is destiny

Choose your own path

Put in work, and do it fast

Use your heart and it will last

Success is destiny

Choose your own path

Put in work, and do it fast

Use your heart

One for five, that’s like two for fifteen

I mix dreams with reality, for the love not the salary

My mentality in a nut shell, wasn’t always cut well

And so dry, I remember when I

Didn’t have the means of making songs

Those who did where taking long

And treating me like I was faking

Awakening every morning to the urge, yet

No money to splurge with

And to this day I don’t know how I ever got over the first ridge

Amidst thirsty kids ready to drain my hopes away

I scope the days within and beginnin' fools with role play

Nothing really changed except attitudes

To those who have I’ma show my gratitude

Ay, help me I’m not mad at you

Scattered crews in the wind led me to the point which I’m at now

When I rip, give me dap now, I don’t accept the scraps

Success is destiny

Choose your own path

Put in work and do it fast

Use your heart and it will last

Success is destiny

Choose your own path

Put in work and do it fast

Use your heart

I can’t pretend that my debts are greater then my yearly income

But then in some ways it pays to be broke

I stay with these folks called friends, constantly building an empire

So when in dire straits, we aspire and elevate higher

Than expectations, refreshed and awake

And exerting what it takes to keep from hurting

Proper wording, at the right time

No blurting out, I stay composed

To keep from burning out, I stray from those only sayin' flows

The girls betraying hoes

I’m not into that

Got into rap as a child when commended acts

Had style when the television dial wasn’t needed

I wasn’t feelin' cheated when I bought an album

But now the uncompleted child conductor cover of the odor

They be on some high performance shit without a motor

I’m a voter for the work, real to mean that

But that wish is but a dream that never seems to comes true

That never seems to come true…

In the immortal words of Johnson, «I will survive»

You be on that bitch shit, but me I keep it alive

So why are you still talking to me, fool, shut the fuck up

Go speak with Mr. Charley, and please don’t try to suck up

He doesn’t like a kiss-ass, get out and do that shit fast

Get a grasp on life, don’t be lazy and try to slip past

Twice or three times I almost quit

But now I see I’m fit for the script

Un-flipped, of course

I’m the source of my product, not a product piece

At least 95 percent, I put the crease in my jay cards

And in my revenue too

I stay hard-headed and never too true, so should you

So should you, and you…

So should you

Success is Destiny

Choose your own path

Put in work and do it fast

Use your heart and it will last

Success is Destiny

Choose your own path

Put in work and do it fast

Use your heart

Use your heart

Use your heart…
