I STARTED OUT WITHOUT A MOM AND A DAD
SO YOU CAN SAY I STARTED WITH A REAL BAD HAND
MY LIFE STARTED DARK, I COULDN'T EVEN GET A TAN
I STARTED OUT THINKIN THAT NOBODY REALLY CARES
SO I STARTED OUT EARLY KNOWING LIFE AINT FAIR
THEN I STARTED DOING THINGS THAT REALLY WASN'T ME
THEN ONE DAY I REALIZED THAT MY LIFE WAS UP TO ME
SO I STARTED COLLEGE
STARTED TO GET SOME KNOWLEDGE
THEN STARTED USING MY KNOWLEDGE TO GET SOME DOLLA$
I STILL DIDN'T GET ACKNOWLEDGED
ALL I GOT WAS DOUBTERS
THERE WERE MORE PEOPLE DOUBTIN ME THAN THERE WERE PROUD OF ME
BUT I STILL STAYED OUT THE STREET
STILL STAYED OUT THE BEEF
STILL WENT THROUGH LIFE BRINGIN THE BEST OUT OF ME
SO WHERE'S THE RECOGNITION????
STARTED IN A BAD POSITION BUT STILL HAD GOOD INTENTIONS
INSTEAD OF THE PRAISE, THEY STARTED HATIN
WAITIN FOR THE DAY TO SAY, I KNEW YOU WOULDN'T MAKE IT
SO I STARTED GRINDIN HARDER
STARTED TO GET MY MIND IN ORDER
STARTED THINKING OF A PLAN TO TAKE OVER MIAMI FLORIDA
I STARTED WITH S.O.C.
STARTED AS THE A.C., THEN MOVED UP TO VP
THEN EVENTUALLY BECAME PRESIDENT, BUT THEY STILL DONT SEE ME THOUGH
BUT I WONT STOP UNTIL THEY START TO CALL ME CEO
I STARTED DOWN A ROAD LESS TAKEN
BUT WITH MY DRIVE INSIDE ITS LIKE I GOT NAVIGATION
SO I KNOW IM GOIN PLACES
IM GLAD THEY STARTED HATIN
THAT'LL MAKE IT BETTER FOR ME FOR WHEN I MAKE IT
I STARTED SEEING WHO WAS REAL AND WHO WAS FAKIN
I STARTED SEEING WHO WAS TRUE AND WHO WAS SNAKIN
WHO KNEW I WOULD MAKE IT THIS FAR STARTIN FROM A ROOM IN THE BASEMENT
I GUESS YOU CAN SAY MY GRANDPARENTS STARTED MY MOTIVATION
SO IMMA GIVE YOU SUMTHIN TO THINK ABOUT BEFORE I FINISH
ITS NOT HOW YOU START THE RACE, ITS HOW YOU END IT!!!!!!!

Well damn Ron...I jus wanna start by saying I love the way you ended the poem, that is so true. Im sure that anyone can say when they first met you, you can tell you had a good head on your shoulders and know what you want outta life. Regardless of how it started out for you, you have the drive and motivation in you that doesn't stop. Keep doing you, Mr. $tephen$...and f*ck the rest!
