Goal in Reach

Yeah

Look

Goal in reach

I can see that

Left school early, hit that back door

Mama said "Be more," I became that

Bikes in the driveway, sirens in the background

Learned how to weave through the flame and the shade fast

Mailman watching who get packs on the weekday

Coach said "Run," streets said "Eat"

Now I'm on the block doing push-ups on the curb

Turned every crack in the concrete to a gold seat

Goal in reach, I can see it from here (from here)

Both feet down but my head in the air (too clear)

Been grindin' all day, all night, same gear (same gear)

I’m right there, I’m right there

Goal in reach, I ain’t lettin’ it slide (nah)

Whole city on my back when I rise (when I rise)

Been grindin’ all day, all night, same drive

Goal in reach, goal in reach, that’s mine

Whole hood betting on the fall, I ain’t trippin' though

Turned every side-eye stare to an interval

Every shift at the warehouse, knuckles all split

Then I clock out, hit the court, still getting it in

Big homie told me "Lil man, pick a lane quick"

I picked all of ’em, hustle in the same fit

From the swap meet, fresh tee, same kicks

To the boardroom talk, same grit, same lips

Who else go this hard?

Rain on the windshield, pray in the backyard

Who else turned that doubt to a deep scar?

Then carved their name in it, made it a landmark

[low vocal register] I been on go since the first little heartbreak

Since I seen the yellow tape by the arc gate

Hand on my chest like a vow in the dark

Every setback just sharpened my heart
