Jay B - Let's Talk About It Lyrics

Growing up I never needed much
Had a dollar and a dream but then I gave it up
Made it seem like make believe and it was crazy to pursue some stupid dream with no guaranteed paper huh
So I chose to play it safe don't be a fool
At least that's what I thought my choice was limited to two
I was young with the decision get a job or go to school
That's the hand that I was dealt I needed time to think it through
But time was something Ian have though
A year go by and I'm like f*ck it take a stab bro
Used to dance but music always had my back I know it chose me as a jit and I finally chose it back oh
Best decision that I made this far
I'm watching it manifest this shit began as a thought
Who knew that that first step was me beginning to walk
I always had sum to say I'm just beginning to talk
Quiet kid for the longest
Lean but never bony
Mama kept my belly full but a nigga stayed hungry
Never quit on what you want that's a lesson no one taught me
It was in me from my birth it was never simply on me
Like I was born for this shit
I'm an alchemist I took my pain inside and transformed it to this
As long as your path straight you won't get lost in the mix
They'll offer you many kingdoms but it come with a twist
What they offer you is temporary
Have you thinking that you're benefiting really they become your beneficiary
That shit get scary
I just hope that when they offer you them dollar dollars bills that you thinking clearly
