Odyssey Video (MV)

You don't know what it took to get me here, you don't know my pain
You don't know what it took to get me here, you don't know my pain
It's a celebration, all it took was patience, I'm the chosen one I made it out the matrix
Reminiscing on the boulevard, made it off the Shaw, I'm a legend thanking God for my blessings
Too many times I could've lost my life
Throwing the fingers, never thought twice
Endless sips of the Henney, drowning my sorrows for the nights that I cried, there was many
Moving with my locs, rags around my neck
I was searching for a hood famous death
Waist my youth on a trap that was set
The blacker the berry, I say the deeper the stress
Make it out you an athlete at best, a lot of people they don't pass this test
Life is cruel if you don't abide by the rules
It's a cold world but we hope for warmth
You don't know what it took to get me here, you don't know my pain
You don't know what it took to get me here, you don't know my pain
All I wanted was some J's, all I wanted was a shot
All I needed was an opportunity to give 'em everything I got
This aint' no hobby, this is intuition, Prodigal son's back
Cookin' in my Father's kitchen, serve you up what you've been missing
Lost in the dark, lookin' for a spark
Demons in my ear, confessing all their fears
Everybody talking but I really can't hear
Mind over matter is the lies that we hear
Cuz when your mind's broken, everything's swollen
Find yourself choking, gasping for air, close my eyes I just visualize greater times
When the light shine bright, all my loved ones tight, we gon be alright
I've been putting in the time, I've been focused on my grind
Had to change my focus, ]pardon the change of my] demeanor 'cuz this life is tough
When you down and out hoping for a glimpse of luck
Back against the wall, find yourself stuck
All you hear is best of luck, riding through the Shaw with my windows up
Tinted to [the core] with my heart
So many times I done sparked up
I was searching for God in a dark time
I was searching for God in a dark time
I was searching for God in a dark time
You don't know what it took to get me here, you don't know my pain
You don't know what it took to get me here, you don't know my pain
Fast forward in this life I'm just living well
Blue chucks in my closet you can never tell
Bible strapped around my heart, I just preach and tell
Got a gift to reach people, hope I use it well
'Cuz we're judged by what we do, and what we do proves to the masses who is the real you
Too many fakes in the life we live, beautiful souls for the autumn leaves
Change your vibe feel the Summer breeze
Open your heart receive a state of peace
Broken hearts is the remedy
Gratitude will uplift you, doubt will only kill you, don't let your struggle fool you
Pressure will refine you
It's all about your mental, don't you ever lose hope
Face the storm if you can make it through the night
Sunrise just hold your pillow tight
You don't know what it took to get me here, you don't know my pain
You don't know what it took to get me here, you don't know my pain
