From Sidelines to Spotlight

(yeah) (mm) Yeah, they talking like they know me now

Same people never showed me how

Back then they didn't pick up calls Now they hit my line

when I come around

I've been locked in,

working overtime

Every setback turned to dollar signs

They keep watching from the sidelines I'm focused on what's really mine

Look, I learned patience from the nights I had nothing Had a

dream so big, everybody thought I was bluffing Now the goals getting

closer, conversations getting public Funny how they switched sides when they seen

I made something I don't got time for the fake love and

pretending If it ain't about growth,

then the energy is ending Used to stress over opinions,

now I'm barely paying attention Cause the work speak louder than every

rumor they mention Every move calculated,

every loss was education Had to build a foundation before I reached

elevation Now they asking for the secret,

I just tell 'em dedication Ain't no shortcut to greatness,

only focus and creation

Yeah, they talking like they know me now

Same people never showed me how

Back then they didn't pick up calls Now they hit my line

when I come around

I've been locked in,

working overtime Every setback turned to dollar signs

They keep watching from the sidelines I'm focused on what's really mine

I remember sitting quiet while they doubted every plan Now I'm standing

ten toes, doing everything I said I can Life moving fast,

gotta appreciate the chance Cause tomorrow isn't promised,

that's the reason that I advance

Never hated on nobody,

I was busy with my vision Every chapter taught a lesson,

every scar a new position If they asking why I'm different,

it's because I made decisions To keep betting on myself when nobody

wanted to listen Yeah,

I'm still the same person with a bigger point of view Still

chasing every goal that I said I'd see through If they never

understand it, that's alright,

I got proof Cause the results tell the story better than I

ever could
