CHORUS
People always try to tear ya down
They want ya to forget that you have crown
So ya gotta believe in ya destiny
Know that the dream's a reality

You can’t let the white noise kill your vibe
Instead ya need to let the light within ya shine
You gotta trust yourself, know it's meant to be
Trust yourself, know what you gotta achieve

VERSE I
Times like these I find myself in a hurry
Building foundations that are not very sturdy
Got a notion that in order to succeed
I gotta...create a legacy that's bigger than me
And I recognize that I ain’t gotta sweat
'Cause I...got a bright light buried deep within my chest
I have to keep in my mind what my mama had said
She had told me "on the path ahead" that...

HOOK
They gon' try to break you down
They gon' try to break you down
They gon' try to break you down
They gon' try to break you down


VERSE II
I know the journey has been filled with greatness
The obstacles are just a test of my patience
Been tryna learn this shit since 6 years old
Remember? All that glitters isn't really gold

And I, need to stop being so hard on myself
'Specially cause I’ve done so much, I’ve done so well
It's just, conflicting slightly with the imagery
Of what’s in progress and what must be achieved

BRIDGE
I know the journey has been filled with greatness (I know it has)
I know the journey has been filled with greatness (I know it has)
I know the journey has been filled with greatness (I know it has)
I know the journey has been filled with greatness (I know it has)

HOOK (w/ ad-libs over)
They gon' try to break you down
They gon' try to break you down
They gon' try to break you down
They gon’ try to break you down

CHORUS
People always try to tear ya down (They gon' try to break you down)
They want ya to forget that you have a crown

Instead ya need to let the light within ya shine

Trust yourself, know what you gotta achieve

BRIDGE
I know the journey has been filled with greatness (They gon' try to break you down, break you down)
I know the journey has been filled with greatness (They gon' try to break you down, break you down)
