It is what it is And I just can't pretend That this life is so easy When it keeps testing my ends It's a balancing game And I land dead on my back Every time I shut my mouth And every time that I act I gotta change it Gotta settle the score A victim of this system I will be no more How else should I react When it feels like the world has turned its back It's hard enough Just getting through the day by day It's even worse when every step Makes you feel lost in your ways Just keep my head down Focus on my strength I gotta drown out the noise Gotta find my way Just gotta keep my head down Focus on my strength Gotta drown out the noise Gotta find my way Find my stride Just gotta find my stride
