Young Gifted Soul

[Intro] My enemies, don't want me to prosper They jealousy leaves them stationary, as I travel farther They crucify me as they did my father Trying to make a difference and enjoy what life offers Wasn't ever real poor, wasn't richie rich either Didn't ever go hungry but right now I'm starving Life's a journey and I'm just starting [Hook: Lona] When you young and you gifted Got heart and you independent It's a lot of hating brothers and gold chasing sisters I'm just trynna get it, if they hating forget it, man I'm just trynna get it [Verse 1: Lona] Dang they don't want me to make it Every ounce of confidence, they seem to take it My presence leaves em shaken, know I'm destined for greatness They say I stay in my feelings, I say I suffer from realness My mouth isn't censored and my hearts not heavily guarded So i keep it trill, wait till I'm awarded I ain't perfect but ain't nobody flawless, I do what I feel is right cause they hate you regardless Music is this my purpose or just another phase? often wonder if my peers be feeling the same Riding dolo is probably for the better Cold world, overalls and a sweater [Hook: Lona] When you young and you gifted Got heart and you independent Its a lot of hating brothers and gold chasing sisters I'm just trynna get it, if they hating forget it, man I'm just trynna get it I gotta get up out So my music can give my people a way out Temptations is loud, but the whispers of inspiration helps me push on When you chasing dreams ain't nobody around And once you make it they wishing they woulda And I get so much hate its crazy Its kids hungry, people homeless, teens lonely That's precious time that you wasting They say give it a break? Shoot tell em to make me I got people to touch, a family that's waiting for me to lead the way And me to lead a change will i ever be great, or will i shine briefly then fade Will i rise above or fall subject to the hate, for failure is not an option Success is knocking so i ain't stopping Ima soldier that's steady marching [Outro] When you young and you gifted Man I'm just trynna spark minds with mines And ignite generations of world changers through lines I wanna touch lives
