>> Don't tell your dreams to everybody

around.

Some people smile, but want to see you

down.

Keep it quiet. Don't make a sound.

Let your success be what [music] shakes

the ground.

see you down.

Keep it quiet. Don't make a sound.

Let your success be what shakes

[singing] the ground.

>> Haven't earned a million yet, but I'm

[music] aiming for the sky. One day I'll

fill a stadium, watch the crowd

multiply. Talking [singing and music]

about my hard work, now they're watching

every move. This next step is just a

warm-up. Got a lot more to prove. Secure

my position, now my partners are in

surplus. Used to [music] stress at the

starting line, now I'm chasing nothing

less. Work smart, not hard, that's how

[music and singing] the maximum is made.

Got local currency for now, but the

dollar's on the way. I cannot forgive

betrayal. [music]

That's a line I won't erase. I don't

need the fame, just the power and the

place. [singing] Competitors [music]

chase numbers, ready, set, go, start the

race. I'm running too, but with

patience, keeping steady pace. Got a

mental by my side, [music] it's the way

it's meant to be. Against the grain, we

stand out heavy. They can clearly see.

Focused on [music] results, never

begging for attention. Built a

foundation in the streets with pure

intention. [singing]
