about

The biggest hindrance to us excelling in life is the person in the mirror. I decided to reach out to some homies to share parts of our respective journeys and experiences with each providing some motivational monologue to inspire the listener. Enjoy!

lyrics

It's all in me
It's all in me, that's the way it is, way it gotta be
It's all in me
Its all up to me, I control my destiny
Listen

Yo, time waits for no man so I keep it moving
Times is always of the essence gotta keep improving
Gotta keep proving to myself that I can do it
Journey's more than 8 miles and I'm about to lose it
It being myself when it comes down to this music
This road is full of hazards man these potholes are ruthless
Strategically maneuver till I reach the finish line
Come from behind, fighting the urge to lift the quitting sign
It's all in me like I'm every emcee
This dark cloud of black thought rooted in my schemes
And plots time is finite while in my physical form
Cover ground on the leaders is my lyrical norm
Brainstorm for the Capitol like January 6
Earned stipends for my writings where Sauga is the 6-4-7
Area code where I ready my flow
To compete with the best and I let be known

Word up
The only man who can stop me is the man in the mirror
And that's me, so it's all in me
Gut check time
Gotta find that inner strength to keep pushing

Don't have it altogether, still workin on me
Figured out my passion, what my purpose should be
Sometimes, all you can do is move on with your day
Hold back the tears, pretend that you're okay
My heart races, found myself in dark places
Took a lot of perseverance & a whole lotta patience
Determined to continue, said you always had it in you
The degree of what you did made it harder to forgive you
It doesn't change the past, but we can only move forward
The next day could be your last, but if you feel cornered
You didn't see it coming, cuz it came without warning
Wasn't there when you awoke, I left early in the morning
I wouldn't have success, if I only gave up
The best version of myself, is the one you don't trust?
Every time that you see me, keep that energy with me
The Good, Bed & Ugly, It's all in me

Can't win if you don't play
Can't score if you don't take your shot
Feelin down & out? Do somethin about it
Don't expect someone to do for you when you have the ability to do it for yourself
If you think you're beaten then you are
Life's battles don't always go to the strongest man
It goes to the one with the know how, who truly knows that he can
It's all in me

Me im all in gotta grin tryin' to ball out
Sad probably work for da man untill I fall out
Cash checks, but its all doubt
Hella funny see me sitting on chrome, till it stalls out
It's all in me seen u all pout
Everyday gotta stick to the plan, took da long route
Dark dayz wit a shady past
Seen alot dudes livin to front, n it makes me laugh
I was living in da housing metro
Now Im tryna rise to da top, shoulda got a medal
Lovin' sister always had my back
When my mind goes to back in da day yo, Stacy Dash
Everyday struggle gotta go the distance
Had to show persistance fight wit my demons weaving da road of cripping
Had to roam da straight and narrow path
Grind out from da day to da night and never end up last

Yeah
Thats how it is tho
Sometimes I feel like I'm my own worse enemy know what I mean?
But u gotta keep pushing
Run dat run dat run dat
Search for that inner peace u know what I'm sayin?
Yeah

It's written all over my face
That's my features
The man who went
From a creature to medina
Gained headway
When I broke it all down
Like paraplegics
You got it in one
I'm the sum of my self belief in
All things good
Come to those who wait
I been in lines so long
I had to get it straight
They all told me
I wouldn't make it
But hello happy days
Got all I want
Wife a daughter a shelter
For rainy days
The problem is some of us
Want all or nothing
Without sharing the plate
Food for thought
Ya vitamin d is amazing grace
What's behind the sun
A blinding light never erased
We are a spark of intellect
The wisdom is to understand
From whence we came
It's all in me if I don't see it
That's a shame
Look all around
But focus on you
All the way
What's in you
May not be in me
But we can all improve
On yesterday

Yeah yesterday's problems
Are todays solutions
If you analyse the confusion
And from within find the solution
Remember to climb to the top
You gotta start at the bottom
It's all in us
But often forgotten
