about

This song is a collaboration with my friend and producer GES. This is our first time working together and there's more to come from us.

I let the words come to me on this one, from vibing with the beat, focusing on my flow, and keeping it lyrical. I'm continuing on my "mindset rap" journey, to help you stay positive and go for your dreams.

lyrics

Don’t put your dreams on hold
Cuz that’s just getting old
I’m in sport mode
Staying extra bold
My life is source code
Your life is Morse code
When you tour the globe
It’s a long road
Please don’t sell your soul
Don’t let that pressure grow
I’m finding more gold
I’m reaching more goals
Man I need more shows
Just watch my dreams unfold
This is source code
Yeah
This is source code

Searching for houses call me Godzillow
I keep it clean like a Brillo
I got em’ weeping like a willow when I hit them with the ill-flow
Waiting for my time but I’m not standing still though
If you wanna make it out you gonna stand out
But don’t just stand out waiting for a handout
I’ve been building I’m facing the fans now
Want it so bad that I’ll happily campout
Really ain’t no time for laying on a pillow
Everyone needs some time to chill though
Gotta learn how to not burnout
Played so many shows now the people turnout
You’ve had your time it’s my turn now
Are you discerning the words that I churn out?
I’m just going for my dream what about hurt about?
Cuz I’m the best thing that you never heard about
Until heard word of mouth that it’s working out
Even though I had to take a curvy route
Persevere while they absurdly doubt?
It’s no surprise that I’m bursting out
Deep in these beats and I’m speaking in code
Facing defeat but in beast mode
I just keep cooking like a bistro
My only real goal is peace though
In my life and around the globe
I just want all the violence to cease yo
A lot of people fighting for attention
Now you just hyped on a mention
Everything is an extension of self
That’s why you see me reinventing myself
I’m here making sure that my presence is felt
This is a mindset go get your wealth

Remember whatever you want is attainable
If you put in the work you will be paid in full
Stay making yourself irreplaceable
This is a marathon make it sustainable
Most of these haters are just lacksadalsicle
Now you winning and everyone is chasing you
Most people give up you win if you make it through
Living the dream doing more than just making due
Don’t believe in the people who hating you
Trusting your feelings yo that could be saving you
Gotta wake up and then do what you say you do
Hard to hard to work hard when there’s no one there making you
Now you on stage and the crowd going cray
Giving you the code like proud to pay
Grind for 10 years now they pressing play
Cuz I’m giving you the code like Wendy Day
