Road To Success - Tunnel Rats

Yo I heard a wise man once said

It ain’t all about the bread or cheese

Material gain please

Man I ease my way through this life

A little strife just me and my wife

Whether I’m dead broke or rockin Ice

It ain’t hard I’m focused on God, Family and Hip Hop

When I hit the top

I’m saying who’s with me who’s out to get me Who stuck beside through the fire and rain

Some envious some admire the gain

TR we travel the entire terrain

Yeah — so when the haters hate

It’s all good — I’m bout to live out a greater fate

Watch me move, I can’t lose

See I choose to fuse the truth

Every time I show and prove

Now you could love me or leave me diss me or dismiss me You ain’t got time better make up your mind quickly

We going places only few been called

We gon' take this music thing right to the stars

We gon' spit until we can’t rip no more bars

We gon' start this party right (Why) just because

Yeah we going places only few can see

Traveling cross country and the seven seas

Transcending the boundaries of color and creed

'Cause the road to success has been named new breed

Give me a line and I’ll spit y’all 16

Then pass me a color and I’ll paint for y’all my dream

Now hand me a mirror show you life ain’t what it seem

But give me a microphone and I’ll talk it to extreme

I swim against the stream and walk against the norm

Refine under pressure no I’ll never conform

Born conquerer, always ready for war

And now deemed superstar I’m geerin up for world tour

Trying to stake my claim in this hip-hop game

And yes I’m bent on stars marking tunnel rat name

We built for this terrain, I don’t need no fancy cars

I’ll drive my ford focused on premium bars

Full speed ahead for the purspose and cause

Breaking for no one but obeying God’s laws

There’s a stop up ahead you need to heed to my speed

Cause the road to success has now been named new breed

Ready to shine under brighter lights

Brawl in the bigger fights

New breed taking their game into higher heights

Higher stakes, make no mistake

We gonna roll to the gold then the platinum plates

A yo I can’t think twice and won’t look back

The diary of my life is in my book of raps

I’m purposed by design to shine be the sower of seed

Murder the greed and let God lead

So I’m gon' uprok this rhythm to the great escape

Label me no more I’m livin' out my fate

Great is the destiny

God use the worst and best in me

I’m ready to work until there ain’t nothin' left of me Yo it’s a thin line between the underground and the main stream

It takes a brave team to break through it I though y’all knew it my verbal communication is fluid so I got to pursue it
