  • 0:07 - 0:10
    Our dreams don't live down there.
  • 0:12 - 0:15
    That's what my granddad used to tell me.
  • 0:17 - 0:18
    When I used to walk in them projects
  • 0:18 - 0:20
    I'd look down and I'd see crack needles.
  • 0:22 - 0:23
    I'd see bullets.
  • 0:25 - 0:26
    I'd see blood stains.
  • 0:29 - 0:30
    But when I looked in the sky
  • 0:31 - 0:31
    I saw my dreams.
  • 0:33 - 0:35
    I saw my opportunity.
  • 0:37 - 0:38
    When I would go to school
  • 0:38 - 0:40
    They would tell me I was too dumb.
  • 0:42 - 0:44
    They told me I'd be like my father.
  • 0:45 - 0:46
    Like my family.
  • 0:48 - 0:49
    Selling dope.
  • 0:50 - 0:52
    Going to the penitentiary.
  • 0:53 - 0:55
    Never seeing what the real world would be.
  • 0:57 - 0:58
    See I was a kid
  • 0:58 - 0:59
    Who couldn't read 'til he was 16.
  • 1:01 - 1:03
    But my dream was bigger than my reality.
  • 1:05 - 1:06
    I'm telling you Young King
  • 1:08 - 1:09
    Keep fighting
  • 1:09 - 1:11
    Cause your life depends on it.
  • 1:12 - 1:13
    Just like when you get hit
  • 1:13 - 1:13
    With that bullet
  • 1:15 - 1:16
    And your boy is telling you
  • 1:16 - 1:17
    Don't stop breathing.
  • 1:18 - 1:20
    Don't stop fighting.
  • 1:21 - 1:23
    You still got life to live.
  • 1:25 - 1:26
    Because if you lay there
  • 1:26 - 1:27
    In your pool of blood
  • 1:27 - 1:28
    You're gonna die there.
  • 1:30 - 1:31
    Young King
  • 1:33 - 1:34
    Young King
  • 1:34 - 1:36
    Learn how to fight for your purpose.
  • 1:36 - 1:38
    And not the money.
  • 1:40 - 1:41
    Cause I know we've come from
  • 1:41 - 1:42
    Them crack houses.
  • 1:44 - 1:45
    I know we've come from nothing.
  • 1:46 - 1:48
    But listen to that voice in your head
  • 1:48 - 1:51
    That tell you that you have everything
  • 1:51 - 1:52
    You need inside of you.
  • 1:55 - 1:56
    I'm gonna tell you
  • 1:56 - 1:58
    It's gonna be people that say
  • 1:59 - 2:01
    Your dream is false.
  • 2:03 - 2:04
    But I'm here to tell you
  • 2:06 - 2:07
    Your dream is real.
  • 2:08 - 2:10
    Your dream is realer than anything
  • 2:10 - 2:11
    You could every imagine.
  • 2:12 - 2:14
    You eatin those Ramen noodles
  • 2:14 - 2:16
    You eatin that trash every night
  • 2:16 - 2:17
    For dinner.
  • 2:17 - 2:18
    But in your mind
  • 2:19 - 2:21
    You are visioning a steak.
  • 2:21 - 2:23
    You are visioning the finer things
  • 2:23 - 2:24
    In life.
  • 2:25 - 2:26
    Pay the price today
  • 2:27 - 2:30
    To live the life that you wanted for your family.
  • 2:31 - 2:32
    You wanted for your kids.
  • 2:32 - 2:34
    Get back to the time
  • 2:35 - 2:36
    That you was
  • 2:36 - 2:38
    When you laid on your mother's
  • 2:38 - 2:38
    Lap.
  • 2:38 - 2:39
    Get back to the time
  • 2:39 - 2:41
    When you whispered to your friends
  • 2:41 - 2:42
    And you told them
  • 2:42 - 2:43
    What you wanted to be.
  • 2:43 - 2:45
    I'm a kid from Pontiac, Michigan.
  • 2:47 - 2:47
    And they said
  • 2:47 - 2:49
    Crime is the only thing
  • 2:49 - 2:49
    That we can be.
  • 2:50 - 2:52
    They say the penitentiary
  • 2:52 - 2:54
    Is the only thing we'll ever see.
  • 2:54 - 2:56
    Well I'm telling you now King
  • 2:56 - 2:57
    The best things come
  • 2:57 - 2:59
    From the bottom.
  • 2:59 - 3:00
    Just like when
  • 3:00 - 3:01
    You opened up that cereal box
  • 3:01 - 3:02
    As a kid,
  • 3:03 - 3:04
    You couldn't wait to get that prize
  • 3:04 - 3:05
    At the bottom.
  • 3:06 - 3:07
    Just let me tell you
  • 3:07 - 3:09
    God leaves your gift at the bottom
  • 3:09 - 3:10
    Of the stairs.
  • 3:11 - 3:13
    And it's up to you to walk up
  • 3:13 - 3:14
    Them stairs.
  • 3:14 - 3:16
    And show the world your gift.
  • 3:19 - 3:19
    You're great King.
  • 3:22 - 3:27
    You're great.
