Potluck, Berel Alexander - Show The World lyrics

Ready to show the world that my success
It ain’t no overnight dream
Not like some one night fling
I’m in a lifelong love with this music thing
It all began back in grade school
Following this path we don’ paid dues
Yes some might say this a breakthough I only

I love beats and rapping and
I want first place
My life is consumed by the work that it takes
Yeah I love the fans and
They really kept me flowing
But my personal life I don't
Know where it's going
Found a girl, fell in love
Then she quit on me
Its the story of my life check my history
Every girl that I've been with
Is gone cause of rappin
Guess I didn't have the time to make em happy
But, I push on still trying to get thru it
When I'm feeling alone I always
Turned to the music
It made me grow up turned me into who I am
Josh Leiderman still sticking to the plan
Even though I'm not there
Thanksgiving and christmas
And I missed your birthday guess
It comes with the business
I missed my grandma's funeral I wasn't around
Cause Potluck had a show out of town
I'm sorry I always really wanna be there
Everybody that I love please
Know I really do care
But, I got this talent I can't waste it
I'm stuck in between a fucked up situation
Cause if I don't make music I'm not happy
And if I'm not happy then
Where will that have me
Probably depressed and feeling so whack
So I'm giving it my all
Trying to never look back

Ready to show the world that my success
It ain’t no overnight dream
Not like some one night fling
I’m in a lifelong love with this music thing
It all began back in grade school
Following this path we don’ paid dues
Yes some might say this a breakthough I only

It started out so simple
Back in the beginning
A man on a mission trying
To make a rap living
An represent for my block like a nigga should
Say I ain't paid dues I wish a nigga would
Before the record deal way
Before the first show
Knew to work hard if u wanna Kurtis Blow
My lifestyle bumpin beats and
Make the words flow
I gave my word bro I'm here
To let the world know
The highs and the lows, the good and the bad
I just had to be an MC
What type of life is that?
Living on the road, drivin a van
Nina's missing her dad and
She don't understand
Why I’m gone for 2 months? Why
I miss the new stuff?
Why do mama always cry? I
Guess I'm doing too much
I got a lot of fans all around the country
I'm part of a family and
They really do love me
The music that we make is
So real that they relate
They take good care of me and
Put food up on my plate
Rappin is my therapy the movement
And the loot chase
It’s hard to raise a family man
When u living out a suitcase
Hip-Hop will always be a part of my life
And the ones who suffer most are
My daughters and my wife
I know u miss me when I’m
Gone I wanna hug u everyday
I'm sorry that I hurt u I
Hope u love me anyway

Ready to show the world that my success
It ain’t no overnight dream
Not like some one night fling
I’m in a lifelong love with this music thing
It all began back in grade school
Following this path we don’ paid dues
Yes some might say this a breakthough I only
Ready to show the world that my success
It ain’t no overnight dream
Not like some one night fling
I’m in a lifelong love with this music thing
It all began back in grade school
Following this path we don’ paid dues
Yes some might say this a breakthough I only
