I used to be dumb, now I'm on the rise Learning from my mistakes, reaching for the skies Used to make bad choices, now I'm making moves Gotta stay focused, gotta stay in the groove Used to hang with the wrong crowd, now I'm on my own Cutting out the negativity word is born,my mind has grown Used to waste my time, now I'm grinding hard Every step I take, I'm raising the bar I used to be lost, now I see the light Shining bright in the darkness, I'm ready to fight Used to let fear hold me back, now I'm breaking free No more looking back, only forward I see I used to be dumb, but now I'm wise Learning from my past, no more living lies Used to be stuck in a mutha fuckin rut, now I'm breaking through The old me is gone, the new me is true
