I Believe - Yu

YU, C. Ross

Done Deal, keep on

Hip-Hop, keep on

crew, y’all, keep on

I Believe…

That everything happens at its own pace

That’s why the letter y in my name, is lowercase

Showing that growth come from young and up & coming

Summoned by the ones before me, to continue the story of

A warrior wit a blade that’s sharpened

Starving, heart hardened but still marching

I am a writer with a lighter walking in infinite darkness

We gotta keep the flame lit, while they yappin' the same shit

My aura’s of the ancients, I can’t sit

It’s against nature for me to be just complacent

Since I see it then I must strive to be it, right?

I draw from dreams, cause they’re talking to me at night

Loud and clear, and I never bow to fear, greater

Thoughts I have right now, happen some years later

The weird way the universe works

Trust is the crust of life’s pie, I succeed because

I believe

What the future holds

And people if you’re with me say (ohh)

You gotta keep ya head up (ohh)

And it all get better

Aight, you got a goal in mind, now that’s a good start

Let people know what you’re crafting, they’ll pull it apart

And say it needs some of this, and a 'lil bit of that

Before you put the finishing touch, their giving it the axe

And start chopping down a young tree

That’s why my ideas are unseen, cause haters live amongst me

Obviously, they ain’t seeing it from the same angle

Hear what you saying, take notes

But still it won’t change you

That criticism is a good thing

But a sense of self worth is a trait that’s sure to make king

Of a peasant who thought that he’s worth less than

They estimating to play God, but F' them

Your concern is to claim what you’ve earned

Live and learn as the tables turn

Your bond is your word

Now whether you stick tools up to use

Hopefully, you’ll be on your deen

Because I believe

Either believe or be left

While alive I strive, so to stop is like death

What I rep, is taking slow steps to the top tier

That way I know that that growth is just how I got there

Not scared, powerful words that my pops said

Holding my head, eyes red, grateful I’ve got tears

To even let loose to fall to the cement

50 percent dreaming, the other half is leading

Thru motion, not hoping

It happens thru action

The passion dictates the pace

Ain’t no relaxing here

No fear, so serious, I’m tryin go there

Code red, I’m on edge, to get my soul fed

So rare, I zone yeah, like I don’t care

Tone clear when folks hear me when I’m on air

Mo' prepared, I’m focused, no joke & wit potency gots ta be

Because I believe
