[Intro]
Some things will come to you. They're those of you who are in this business because you met somebody that knew somebody, or you had a good friend. That part came to you, but the success will not come to you. Some things you gotta take, but the people who are ready to work, the people who are ready to grind and kill the ?
All the haters, you're just laser-focused, like you don't even hear them

[Verse 1: KXNG CROOKED]
Yeah
They want you down on your luck, they want your back against the wall
They don't want you to know the real, cause really you can have it all
I know you goin' through some rain now, it's the storm before the calm
But if you work through your pain now, you can hold the world in your palm
You got higher your esteem, put some stock on your self worth
Before you could live out your dreams, you gotta sell yourself on yourself first

[Hook: KXNG CROOKED]
You a king, you a queen
You a teacher, you a leader
You should be who you should be
I'm just a real nigga and a thinker
Become who you really are, cause baby you're a star, cause baby you're a star
Become who you really are, cause baby you're a star, cause baby you're a star

[Verse 2: KXNG CROOKED]
Why you changed your name to KXNG CROOKED? Haters always trying to tear you down
I got a mind full of jewels, so Imma always wear a crown
I'm just tryna get some jewels back, like the ones in my necklace I'm wearing now
My words come from my stomach man, if you listen close you can hear it growl
Somebody told you, you'll never make it
They born haters, they don't wanna do it
Turn a blind eye to your nay sayers
And you can do it, Stevie Wonder knew it

[Hook: KXNG CROOKED]
Cause you a king, you a queen
You a leader, you a teacher
You should be who you should be
I'm just a real nigga and a thinker
Become who you really are, cause baby you're a star, cause baby you're a star
Become who you really are, cause baby you're a star, cause baby you're a star

[Verse 3: KXNG CROOKED]
I'm just trying to show you how hungry I am
How committed I am, the winning, believing, achieving and reaching for any goal I wanna reach it, nobody could possibly stop me, I can be whatever I want to

[Outro]
Become who you really are, cause baby you're a star, cause baby you're a star
I can be whatever I want to
Become who you really are, cause baby you're a star, cause baby you're a star
I can be whatever I want to
And you can be whatever you want to, listen, you can be whatever you want to
I got a message in a bottle, open and read it and said
Become who you really are, cause baby you're a star, cause baby you're a star
It ain't over till' it's over, the fat lady ain't said shit
I got a 45 colt, she start singing, she a dead bitch
It ain't over till' it's over, the fat lady ain't said shit
I got a 45 colt, she start singing, she a dead bitch
