Lyrics

So, what's your story and I’ll tell you mine
I'll bend your ear if ya got the time
You say you're out of luck… You say you're out of time
Don't you know that losers get lucky sometimes

You've got the power deep within
To rise above it all and win

Hey sometimes… Gonna hit rock bottom
In order to appreciate when you're ridin’ on cloud 9
And don't you waste your time
Waitin’ on your sign… Cause yes… You're in the right place
Live your dreams it's your time to shine

It's my time to shine
No more warehouse or FAST FOOD
No more of coworkers or customers that ACT RUDE
Toward this BLACK DUDE
Once clowned in the CLASSROOM
But now blessed... Like you just heard me say... ACHOO... I GOTCHU
Amazed by this TURN AROUND
180°... Just hot enough to BURN 'EM DOWN
Respect, I EARN IT NOW
But where was it all ALONG
I'm the same man I was before but now writing SONGS
Now you know you're WRONG
And Ima bring it into FOCUS
I'm full of SELF-ESTEEM but as a TEEN, DEEMED
Outright HOPELESS... Abracadabra ... HOCUS POCUS
Right before your very EYES
Went from watching others eat to slicing up the CHERRY PIES

Hey sometimes… Gonna hit rock bottom
In order to appreciate when you're ridin’ on cloud 9
And don't you waste your time
Waitin’ on your sign… Cause yes… You're in the right place
Live your dreams it's your time to shine

It's true I had to carry cries
And couldn't let anyone SEE
The tears that served as fuel
To the fire that burns to run ME
I'm hot... Just like the SUN BE
When you straddle the EQUATOR
I'm prepared to face my fears
So, tell me what you're AFRAID OF
Strength is what I'm MADE OF
So, Ima "Do it"... Just like NIKE
And I really, really like my Life
So, you can call me MIKEY
All the people out there like ME
Who growing up... Have only known SHAME
Ask the ballers to play ball
And just beat 'em at their own GAME

Hey sometimes… You're gonna hit rock bottom
In order to appreciate when you're ridin’ on cloud 9
And don't you waste your time
Waitin’ on your sign… Cause yes… You're in the right place
Live your dreams it's your time to shine

Hey sometimes… Gonna hit rock bottom
In order to appreciate when you're ridin’ on cloud 9
And don't you waste your time
Waitin’ on your sign… Cause yes… You're in the right place
Live your dreams it's your time to shine
