I was born in oklahoma thought in oklahoma

When I was a little boy

I used to sing before my father preached

I wanted to love on everybody hug on everybody and smile

But you know it was a time

When there was steal segregation and a lot of racism

You know here people called me names like lil' n***a boy and all that

When I got to college I'll never forget

One of my professors told me

That I was goin' to be nothing in life

And I'mma end up in an ally

And I kinda ended up like that way at least for a while

'Cause I did end up on the streets

At one point in my life doin' d**gs and alcohol

My story started eh

Such a long time ago

Bruce it and scar

Sometimes that seems impossible

Some said I was unable yeah

I think they was afraid of what I can do

I never stopped believin' ah

I'm gonna see it all the way through oh no

Don't tell me that I didn't want ya

But kobe in the fourth quarter

Didn't know what time it's over

But I'm not backing down

'Cause I'm in it to win it

I'm gonna reach to the top

Nothing's gonna make me stop

'Cause I'm in it to win it

Oh yeah oh yeah

Oh yeah oh yeah

'Cause I'm in it to win it

There's a fire in release so I'm giving it my everything

'Cause I'm in it to win it

Oh yeah oh yeah

Oh yeah oh yeah

Yes I'm in it

In it to win it

I'm not gonna stop no

Till I feel it

I see it in the distance hey

Waiting for me like an open door

But more I get resistance

I swear I want it even more

I'm gonna be so grateful so grateful

When I finaly get to you

'Cause I never stopped believin' ah

I'm gonna see it all the way through oh no

Don't tell me that I didn't want ya

But kobe in the fourth quarter

Didn't know what time it's over

But I'm not backing down
