Hopsin touched on this subject in Nocturnal Rainbows where he says:

We play the same game, difference is you never try your best
You don’t have a skill, you set yourself up for a higher mess
I work around the clock, you slack off a lot for time to rest
Keep bullshittin' till your life is gone.

Basically, he is saying that you can’t expect things to be handed to you, you need to work at it if you want to be successful.
