Nomad222 - Destined (feat. IconicBeats) [Extended Version] Lyrics

(Ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo-ooh) Yeye,
Yeah, look,

This why I had to quit my day job,
Ill-advised, but knowing that I could rise to the occasion,
Had me feelin' audacious,
Stuck inside a box I was never s'posed to be placed in,
A wild animal ain't supposed to be caged in,
Let me out,
I ain't letting no one forget me now,
Too many eyes on a youngin' and I can't let 'em down,
I came to start a revolution for my people,
Who ain't never seen a life in which we all get treated equal,
No evil,
No stereotypical reinforcement,
Forget the alcohol and the violence they been endorsin',
That's just a portion,
And so I'm peelin' back the curtain,
So you can see the truth about the demons that be lurkin',
All our lives we been a burden,
A product of the hurting,
Victims to a system that was never really working,
Symptoms of a twisted type of vision from a world when,
Being different, was a sickness, and I really wanna see that world end, And now this world is a whirlwind,
Keep getting tossed out,
But I keep on getting back up so that I can get my point across now, Never saw doubt,
Never thought it was an option,
Wonder when they gon' start asking,
"What the f*ck did it cost him? What it cost him?"
Huh
Said what it cost was not no money or no fame,
But that feeling when my girl can't even look at me the same, But I'm not the type to let adversity affect my brain,
I write these verses so that you can feel my pain,

Let me give you the lessons I've learnt,
From the questions I had,
Now reflected in messages that I pen on the pad, Now I finally know,
What we destined for,
What we destined for,
Homie we blessed for more,
Every lesson I've learnt,
From the questions I had,
Now reflected in messages that I pen on the pad, Now I finally know,
What we destined for, What we destined for, Homie we blessed,

Now you can run and tell that, yeah, Now you can run and tell that, uh huh, Now you can run and tell that,
Ain't no getting held back,
We gon give 'em hell back,
We gon give 'em hell back,
Now you can run and tell that, yeah, Now you can run and tell that, uh huh, Now you can run and tell that,
Ain't no getting held back,
We gon give 'em hell back,
We gon give 'em hell back,

Look,
One thing 'bout music, when it hit you feel no pain,
And I feel as if I do this music shit to make a change,
Don't wanna empty out your wallet,
I'm tryna activate your brain,
Wanna share my point of view so we can see this world the same, 'cause education is failing 'cause it's way too slow,
Civilization keeps advancing but there ain't no growth,
I'll keep pushing the same agenda 'til I can't no more,
So I can tell my homies, "you ain't gotta change lil bro",
My teachers said I had potential, I said "imma prove 'em right", Spittin' bars inside my room, now I get paid to rock a mic,
Met Iconic and we came up with a label overnight,
Now when they ask about my work?
I just say "it's somethin' light",
Teach the children how to write,
Teach 'em 'bout communication,
And teach 'em that they ain't gotta settle for occupation,
And teach 'em how to work and not to ever get complacent,
'cause nobody want it more than the one's that's lackin' the patience, And if you're tired of waitin', then this a call to action,
Never allow nobody to distract you from your passion,
'cause now we steer a ship that's steady on it's way to crashin',
But I know we can do better than they ever could imagine,
So let them run and tell they leaders it's a wrap,
We done finally found our voice and we ain't never goin' back, nah,
Even if I die I'll live forever on this track,
So before that final curtain fade to black,

Let 'em run and tell that, yeah,
Now let them run and tell that, uh huh, Now you can run and tell that,
Ain't no getting held back,
We gon give 'em hell back,
We gon give 'em hell back,
Now you can run and tell that, yeah, Now you can run and tell that, uh huh, Now you can run and tell that,
Ain't no getting held back,
We gon give 'em hell back,
We gon give 'em hell back,
Yuh,

Yeah,
Anything that you wanna do,
Anything that you dream of,
You can't let anyone tell you to give that up,
You gotta do that,
You gotta chase after it with everything that you have, Put everything into it,
You have the ability to be whatever you wanna be, And I hope I can be an example of that,
I hope that I can prove to you that,
There's no limitations on,
What we can do,
That's us, that's our people,
That's your destiny,
Oh,
You can run,
You can run,
Oh oh oh oh oh oh, Oh oh,
Oh oh,
Oh, oh, oh,
Oh ah,
Oh oh oh ah ah ah, Oh,
You,
You ooh ooh,
