Going Hard

Through me untapped insperation lays
Only through me greatness will follow
I started from the bottom I can only rise
With these words you can tell me head is not hollow

I will not give in
I'm only at the starting stage
All I need is a bottle of gin
To become great I must break out of my cage

I've accomplished so much from the start
No time to slow down
I promise you I will not fall apart
To you I was a clown but now I'm wearing the crown

I have you memorized
deep in my words no way out
Next thing you know I was idolized
now you know what I'm about please do lash out so i can get the knockout

Going hard is the game yes my name is Steven Dunn putting you to shame
I'm the new poet getting it done yes I'm number one having fun
The way I came up was like a flame inside of a frame
Did you just burn yourself I remember you got spun into a shun by Steven dunn
