Verse 1: Work continues, things changing for the better, promise of big things to come

Still workin hard, hes evolved, on the day to day
been movin up on the humble, he craftin him a way
he manage just ok, trynna up his stacks
hope his, manager ask, him to take up extra tasks
cause no, pressure, no diamonds, he efficient with his timing
better with a deadline, impress those who workin by him
Work-loads, he fryin,recognition, no denying
perserverance to zion be his mental state, no lyin
life now binded to the client, corporate strategy science
critical buisness emphasis, between those seen as nemisis
still his focus never shifts, travellin down a road
that he been told, he could mold as the chapter unfold
Kept on his toes, but it shows, as trials he overthrows
then come a promise, that he finally movin up like he sposed
feelin like damn, this a long time comin, then smack
an unforseen change slump him, push him back

Verse 2: Conditions change up, shakes future plans, causes concerns

Just when he thought he had made it, his problems solved
(he) thrown a curveball that hit him, (and) pin him back 'gainst the wall
he called, into a meeting unsuspecting late one evening
gradually leading to a bunch, of bull(shit), much deceiving,
but he find, they goin through an acquisition
and ain errybody part of the move, he juss listen
see, in the room, its quiet, he (could) still sense the friction
a bunch of technicians, future filled with doubt
he leave that room, thinkin bout,
potential droughts to his steady Cash flow, and (he) know,
That sallie mae wont give a fuck, thats how they roll
like for whom, the bell tolls, he juss trynna reach his glow,
his shine, but now this news, done put his progress on rewind
hope he fine, if not got thoughts, of going back to a life of crime
jackin, totin a 9, but in his mind, just hope he fine/
contemplates crossin that line, dreamin for some better days
(be)fore he grab a berretta for cheddar and start to spray

Verse 3: Change hits, have to start from bottom to prove worth, works hard day in and out, late nights, falls asleep one such evening

Fortunately this nigga aint without a job, cause ain errybody movin over,
hence, acquisitions hard, (and) the track he livin sub par,
but he shootin for the stars, with hopes, that at the very
least he find a way to mars and though he startin from the bottom
this opportunity, soon to be, usually ain no problem
he smart enough to solve them, hope he continue to blossom
though he up gainst greater odds, savors favor requests from neighbors
in the office just because, (he) trynna prove what does
separate him from the rest, overly dedicated, he elated
To impress, like an, S on his chest, when he puttin forth his best
Trynna handle the stress, so he puffin on the cess, that loud
a realist dreamer, so his head forever stuck in the clouds
hopin his luck dont go down, for now no need to grab a heater
like eagerly hound, He got his nose to the ground
chasin the scent of paper stacks, until he find him a mound,
either that or a crown, his mind encompass no bounds
until he reached the peak one night, before he lay his head down..
