You Have To Prove

Someone once told me that my dreams wouldn’t come true And for some reason I believed them too So I just stopped trying And ended up all alone in the dark crying There was no ignoring the pain I felt inside But I didn’t show it because of my pride But in spite of everything else I decided to start all over myself I accomplished so many things it was unbelievable So now the word on the block is “Aaron made it, that’s impossible” But that’s where you wrong I’m standing on my own two feet and I ain’t gonna fall I’m that helping hand that’ll answer anyone’s call All of my achievements are adding chapters to my book So before you fix your mouth to say she’s failed take another look I’ve grown up to be what I wanted to be And not some black person they see as charity So the next time someone says your dreams wont come true Just think of it as being a point you have to prove
