Beyond It

Ace Hood

Compositor: Ace Hood

Uh, wise man once said: Never be a label
If you let 'em tell your story, they'll incarcerate you
They choose to see you through that lens, but that's a narrow vision
I really chose to be myself and trust my intuition (right)

I really do write down my goals and bring 'em to fruition (yes)
I wish I would sell my soul just for some recognition (nah)
If you don't lean into that pain, it'll get repetitious (right)
See everybody claim they real, but what's your definition?

And I get chills from all 'em stories just trough reminiscin'
Ain't seen my father so big brother was my livin' witness
My mama only did her best to give us proper livin'
It's for them times I felt alone and kept my composition

My opposition's nonexistent, ain't no competition
This for my tribe, this for my guys who watch us from them skies
They lookin' down, I know they proud on how I shift the odds
I finally got what I was worth, I'm givin' grace to God (oh my God)

So grateful, so grateful

I been runnin' on E (I been runnin' on E)
I been fueled by pain (fueled by pain)
Not too many I can trust these days (these days)
I been scarred from the game (scarred from the game)
Use it all for motivation and for mindset (and for mindset)

It's way bigger than myself, I'ma be honest (I'ma be honest)
I'm livin' life like a king I'ma be honest
Them negative vibes, I am beyond it (I am beyond it)
I am beyond it, I am beyond it
I am beyond it, I am beyond it

Uh, wise man once said nothin', 'cause even science has a certain language
I feel like Basquiat can picture paint it
My observation from this view is nonetheless amazin', givin' all the praises
I'm the one in my family tree just breakin' all the chains, this shit get tough

Keep on fallin' down, keep on gettin' up, wish me luck
This shit too divine, seek and you shall find
In the battle with my inner self
Focused on droppin' me a classic on my road to wealth

I'm makin' steps, I took that chance when they would never dare
I save these tears for this freedom when I inked the deal
I'm gettin' chills that mean my family gon' be straight for real, it's so surreal

This for my angels on 'em cotton fields
Before this heal, you plant the seeds so we can make it real
I see beyond this three-dimensional, my vision clear
I'm goin' higher 'cause my legacy, I hold it dear, and while I'm still here

I been runnin' on E (I been runnin' on E)
I been fueled by the pain (fueled by the pain)
Not too many I can trust these days (these days)
I been scarred from the game (scarred from the game)

Use it all for motivation and for mindset (and for mindset)
It's way bigger than myself, I'ma be honest (I'ma be honest)
I'm livin' life like a king I'ma be honest
Them negative vibes, I am beyond it (I am beyond it)
I am beyond it, I am beyond it
I am beyond it, I am beyond it
