Greenhouse, Zero Star, Nina D - Never Gonna Make It lyrics

They said we’re never gon’ make it
They said we’ll never go far
We said we’re ‘bout to take it
Aiming into the stars
They said we’re never gon’ make it
They said we’ll never go far
We said we’re ‘bout to take it
Aiming into the stars

Tell the truth I never cared about
Rap as a young ‘un a youth
I was in church with the fam on a Sunday
No loot
Everything that we had was a struggle
Now you can understand why I
Have to be something
My dude got me into freestyling in college
Pay dues by going anywhere
To battle for nothing made moves
Met a lot of cool cats on the humble
So cool that even now it’s like
These cats is my brothers
The door was closed, but we cracking it open
Some tours
Made some money then come back to Columbus
I’m sure I’m reppin’ hard but
Some cats is still frontin’ they snore
Sleepin’ on me like a mattress or something
I’m pissed that we even
Gotta have this discussion you diss
Actin' like somebody handed me something
Insist on coming at me like
A crab in a bucket but it’s only because you
Never happy ‘bout nothing so move along

They said we’re never gon’ make it
They said we’ll never go far
We said we’re ‘bout to take it
Aiming into the stars
They said we’re never gon’ make it
They said we’ll never go far
We said we’re ‘bout to take it
Aiming into the stars

See the thing is I dropped out of
School to get focused on rap
Saw my path right in front of me
It’s gonna be that got a little sidetracked
Now I’m focused and back
Almost got my pride snatched
What’s closest to that?
See the thing is the fact the
City won’t even check it
But now I’m out of states, doing dates
They think I’m impressive
They love to hear the shit that I spit
They think I’m expressive
But never getting love from
Your city’s kinda depressing
I’ve realized one day most people are weak
They gotta be told what to like
And that’s why they sleep
Seen how they did RJ the raw way
But now we come back
He treated like he from Broadway
In life more people wanna see you fail
Not too many ever wanna see
You raised in hell
And that’s why I write like
I’m raised from hell
But on the flip side, get praised with bails

They said we’re never gon’ make it
They said we’ll never go far
We said we’re ‘bout to take it
Aiming into the stars
They said we’re never gon’ make it
They said we’ll never go far
We said we’re ‘bout to take it
Aiming into the stars

Laminated emotion is shielded from the storm
You
Fabricated devotion and smiley face packaging
I always noticed the insanity you
Wore under your jacket
So I shouldn’t be surprised this is happening
Friendship’s a burning bush
Faith is a parted sea
Blindfolded ocean ’til the wave’s
Crash swallowed me
Sacrifice is a double edge sword
I never understood it ’til I understood
That my sons follow me
Spoke every move I make into existence
This throne of independence shakes
’til the levees break
It’s amazing that drowning in
Serenity’s only penalty
Is falling in the arms of divinity
I’m no longer grazing in
The pesticide valleys
Now I answer the snowcapped
Mountain peak’s call
I don’t question the investment
Of who surrounds me
My biggest problem is deciding
Which masterpiece to draw

They said we’re never gon’ make it
They said we’ll never go far
We said we’re ‘bout to take it
Aiming into the stars
They said we’re never gon’ make it
They said we’ll never go far
We said we’re ‘bout to take it
Aiming into the stars
They said we’re never gon’ make it
They said we’ll never go far
We said we’re ‘bout to take it
Aiming into the stars
They said we’re never gon’ make it
They said we’ll never go far
We said we’re ‘bout to take it
Aiming into the stars
