Ambition Songtext
von Wale

The time is now, on e′rything
Took my heart away from money
I ain't interested in fame
And I pray that never change
Ambition is priceless
It′s something that's in your veins
And I put that on my name

Uh, only hope I had was selling dope
Was on my grind 'cause times was harder than a cellar floor
My momma taught me never steal and never tell on folks
I grew up looking up to niggas that was selling coke
Oh, I was raised by the stop sign
No religion, I was getting saved by the Glock 9
By the minute, I was getting paid like a hot line
Serving raw, fiends was calling, we was dot com


Well connected, well respected and well protected
Ain′t get accepted, was rejected, and now they regret it
Ain′t get my message, was no signal when I was texting
The niggas I was calling was fraud and I learned my lesson
Now I move with aggression, use my mind as a weapon
'Cause chances are never given, they tooken like interceptions
So throw that pass, I′ll be the cornerback
Me and Folarin MMG gon' bring that Warner back

For my ambition
Easy to dream a dream, though it′s harder to live it
They gon' love me for my ambition
Easy to dream a dream, though it′s harder to live it

They gon' love me for my ambition
Easy to dream a dream, though it's harder to live it
Look, they gon′ love me for my ambition (it speaks for itself)
Beautiful music, painting pictures that be my vision
(Define ambition for me)

My ambition to win, just to get me some ends
Help me pay my little rent, maybe sit in a Benz
I saw momma praying as she wait on results
It was hot in the kitchen, can I wait on the porch?
My father was missing, War Lord Oliver North
Life was digging me deeper, I kept on coming up short
Breaking so many laws, waking up in the dark
Who cut my power off? It′s time to move that powder soft


Not too many options when you coming from the projects
Sitting in the trap, now you moving Cyndi Lauper
Girls wanna have fun, and a nigga with some change
And I doubt that ever change
Ambition is priceless, that's something that′s in your veins
And I doubt that ever change
Ambition is my shit and I put that on my name
And I doubt that ever change

For my ambition
Easy to dream a dream, though it's harder to live it
They gon′ love me for my ambition
Easy to dream a dream, though it's harder to live it

They gon′ love me for my ambition
Easy to dream a dream, though it's harder to live it
Look, they gon' love me for my ambition
Beautiful music, painting pictures that be my vision

Well wishes to my opposition
You niggas probably cop a plea before you cop a pistol
I got nothing against them, they got fucking potential
But e′ry nigga who can read gotta get his issue
Subscribe niggas reside where all the lions and killers be
And I ain′t spend a minute up in the streets
But I'm limitless mentally, I′m lyrically ZMT
LeBron shit, I was heading 6 after 23

And family is e'rything and money is less important
Long as your mama love you, don′t ever love a woman
I got a lot of bitches, they got a lot of feelings
But I got that green on my eyes and that ain't no Donnie Simpson
I retire you niggas, fuck you and your position
They place holding so slippery niggas can′t even kick it
Y'all rambling, talking shit to these bitches
You know you real you 'on′t say it
You know you real, we gon′ feel it
Ralph

Beautiful music, painting pictures that be my vision
They gon' love me for my ambition
Easy to dream a dream, though it′s harder to live it
Look, they gon' love me for my ambition
Beautiful music, painting pictures that be my vision
They gon′ love me for my ambition
