Most people don’t find the greatness on a whim or a shortcut. It’s a path that’s a much longer way and there’s so many turns and cuts It’s not a straight away and you don’t find it in a crowd amongst the fray. It can be a tough day to day many give up from the pain. They wanted to go the distance with me, but they ran out of their intensity or stayed on the fence and we cannot pull them in.
It aint fate if everyone goes the same way it can take patience pain and some strange rearrangements Some make it some hate it some face it wanna change it Some get right to the gate and find out they can’t claim it But if that fire stays alive when the whole thing gets heavy u take another stride when your legs just aint ready u dont fake it dont beg it to save ya When your time comes it’ll be perfect. No other way to say it No straight line no same sign no map gonna take ya No guarantee that the dream is exactly your way Might lose friends or time might lose what u came with but You know, just who you are thats the greatness baby
Not everyone who makes it has to enter the greatness. There’s plenty who find it and decide to go the other way then and even some who think the whole thing is fake and there’s those who make it but whose heart mind and soul just aren’t in the right place and they have to try again or or some Will curse its name and say it’s a fake and if you’re worried about a friend who doesn’t make it in, don’t be just means this wasn’t the plan. None of us know how things turn out eventually, but I can say with confidence you’ll wind up where you’re meant to be.
So how do you know when to go when to try if you’ll fly or get turned away by that guy they call slide and it’s a fair question I get asked on the daily and the best thing I can do is put it this way. I say to relax have fun put your mind at ease. It’ll call you when you’re ready or it’ll break you free no two paths are the same. My way is not your way and you’ll know it when you see it cause it’s the greatness baby.
