It looks like the system
Tries to hold me down
But guess what? I ain't fucking around
You can't deny the pride
That I have shown
I grind hard and I must hold my own
Coming from the gutter
It's so hard to get ahead
Taking no one's bullshit
And working for my bread
The future don't look positive,
The rat race holds me down
What a struggle keeping
Two feet on the ground
Someday I'll have my peace of mind
I'll keep fightin', one day I will find
A decent life where self-respect is shown
Until then I must hold my own
Always under pressure
I take things as they come
Always looking up,
Look out for number one!
My views got you in check,
I never back down,
I pack a hard punch,
And I always stand my ground
I - will not back down
Holding my own, I stand my ground
You will not break me
My belief is my way can't you see?
Coming from the gutter
It's so hard to get ahead
Taking no one's bullshit
And working for my bread
The future don't look positive,
The rat race holds me down
What a struggle keeping
Two feet on the ground
Never back down
Pain
Agony - Inside my head
Making me wish - wish that I was dead
For all the dues in life that I have paid
I've been caught
Locked in a world of rage
I look inside myself,
I see a great big blank
I look around me
And there is no one to thank
I think about the crazy shit
That I have done
This game of life - can it be won?
Pain
Pain - feel my agony
As it turns into my rage
In life full of anguish
Can't you see I live in
Hell - becomes misery
Metamorphasizing hate
I contemplate my demise
Can't you feel my pain?
Searching for a better way
In a world with it's eyes closed
Hold your head up high
