you will not take it from me

my drive to achieve nothing but greatness
in my life said it all
i forever always walking tall
all the awards i rightfully earned
belong to me (well deserve by the way)
your envy of my success will cost you dearly
more fearful than a lowlife getting killed by a mob boss
you will not take it from me

i am the recipient
of many trophies
i proudly display in my house
and you try to take it from me
why? you didn't sacrifice and go the extra mile like i did
unlike you, i will not succumb to imprisonment for doing a bid

i am proud of all i accomplish
but i'm not done
i have more to achieve
i live by the code never be comfortable
be uncomfortable
these are not just words
i live by this
and because i live by this
i always walk with my head high
my ambition to be the absolute best
speaks more high volume than hi def sounds
no matter how many attempts you try to stop me
my determination will smother your ignorance
that is cancerous
you will not take it from me

you will have to kill me
by any means necessary
like their own kind cowardly assassinated Malcolm X
but if i get to you, the ends justifies the means
said by a brilliant Italian scholar
by the name of Machiavelli

i'm so use to people not liking me
i don't like myself
i love myself unconditionally
but know this
people that are close to me
they feel safe
because they know i'm close
that gives them reasons to love me
for those who try to cross me
they'll think twice
because they know i'm close
that gives them reasons to fear me
this is who i am
accept it or step off
none the less
you will not take it from me

you didn't like me then
you don't like me now
i say this with all sincerity
i don't care
i am proud of who i become
i am gifted to live my life in glory
you will not take it from me
