Que_B - What It Takes Lyrics

Who really want it
Show me my opponent
Been broke never broken
Chosen spoken potent poet
Closed heart open-minded
Exposing the finest
Poetry in motion
Opportunities don't come often
Grateful for the moment
Only them niggas don't got it
Like that
Really flaunt it
The truth will set you free
If you really want it
My apologies I'm on it
Kill the beat RIP now this track haunt it
Fresh like will smith
I'm iconic
Inhaling blubonic chronic
White clouds look like comics
Excuse me darling Ima star dodging commits
Watching these hoes chase more rings sonic
Business Orientated major in economics
Got more faith than BIG it's astronomic
From my socioeconomic standing
I wasn't supposed to make it to or thru college
Struggle gave me strength
And experience gave me the knowledge

Do you know what it takes?
To make a way out of no way
Do you know what it takes?
To chase yo dream and be great
Do you know what it takes?
To keep it real and dodge the fakes
Do you know what it takes?

They left but I'm Alright was blind to facts
Had to put 2 and 2 together
Foresight
Do right and kill everything I just want more life
If you got somebody locked up
Send them a kite
Pressure bust pipes all of the lights
Had to roll the dice to reach paradise
Them cold nights gave me the heart to fight
Earn my stripes in silence and was very precise
I'm da type to get it night and day
Al B Sure to create the wave
Before I ever follow lames
With my dawgs everyday
Cant lead them astray
Cooking up by the minute like a microwave
Anyway all bout my money bag Yo
I got time today
I had to find a way
Hustling was my saving grace
First lesson was Save for da rainy days
Paint a picture watch me illustrate
State of mind on the grind gotta librate
To know is knowledge listen while I educate
Went from noddles to steak and lobster
On my dinner plate
Don't perpetuate nor exaggerate when I create
My faith is bigger than fate
Rich in spirit can't decimate
Destined to dictate slang these words
Like niggas slang birds All thru Tri-states
Raise da streaks and learn from my mistakes
Sometimes you gotta take the first step
Even when you don't see da staircase
Life comes full circle ain't funny how it Circulates
Embrace the heartaches
Cuz
That gave me the strength
Just to get thru Hurricanes
Treat My L's like Landry
Cause Every load all got some gain in it
The pain changed me
I changed with it
We not cut from the same cloth
I'm made different
I give it my all
Had to cut some people off
For lane switching
Steady Shooting for the stars
My aim different
I want mine plus interest
Now I'm the one who became different
