Verse 1: I'm from the parts
Where dreams don't get you far
And fam is all you got
Cause teams don't last for long
Seems whenever you get hot
Just off of rapping a song
They start hating for what you got
And it's harder to get along
Continuing on your road
While friends turn into foes
Once considered a bro
Are now people you used to know
Never thought it would happen despite the things you were told
Though they helped you get high
They talk bout you on the low
Oh
Never really had no friends
If we were close, I consider you fam
Man, never give out your hand
To me, cause if you lose grasp
I fall on my "uh"
Bentnation yall way more than fans to me
Yall brought me up, yall trampolines
I mastered rap and made a masterpiece
15 and running it just like an athelete

Chorus: kept my mind on the prize even when the world let me down
Kept my eyes to the sky everytime I ever hit the ground
Told em it's my time and imma shine until I'm blind and the lights go out
They gon' hate on every line but never mind imma (take the crown) 3x

Verse 2: it's true
These dudes don't notice you til you poking through
People youve never spoken to approach you when you broken through
Hoping to become the girl or bro you closest to
Just so they close to you when you blow and they know it's you
But fake homies only ride til you tow the coop
Let them know the truth
The worlds temporary, so are you
But if I happen to
Hit the cemetary soon
Buried in a golden tomb
I'll surely ressurect by noon
Boy I dream too big and grind so hard
Like prison ciggs I got smoke n bars
Lines open doors like ghost that haunt
You got a free hand out like bowling socks
That's a white lie like a drank a bowl of chock
Said I'd never stand out, so I told them watch
Now every magazine that you see I will be all over the front like holes in
Crocs
That vanity aint me
I can't believe this reality
But hang with me, you'll see
How much I believe that I'll achieve this spirituality through this alchemy
This galaxy has so much left to see
So please just let me be, Bent

Chorus: kept my mind on the prize even when the world let me down
Kept my eyes to the sky everytime I ever hit the ground
Told em it's my time and imma shine until I'm blind and the lights go out
They gon' hate on every line but never mind imma (take the crown) 3x


Bridge: witness a king arise from a prince
And shine so bright tonight you might rely on some tints
Poke through dimensions, open my senses, to the divine bliss
Accepted my blessings, now I'm a star in alignement
Going far because everything and anything is limitless
Strip away the innocence
And push beyond the premises
Be the catalyst, clear the face of the earth's blemishes
Then 10 years from this you can reminesce, on how

Chorus: kept my mind on the prize even when the world let me down
Kept my eyes to the sky everytime I ever hit the ground
Told em it's my time and imma shine until I'm blind and the lights go out
They gon' hate on every line but never mind imma (take the crown) 3x
