It's a hard knock life But I still shine bright Had to put my ten thousand hours in twice Started from the bottom Like a seed in the ground If you reap what you sow We eating all year round Cause I'm built for it Nonstop til we pop up on the billboard Shoot my shot had it blocked but I still scored With opportunities that other ppl kill for What u think we here for I know I'm blessed And when I talk to em it connect You ain't gotta pop a pill if you depressed Life isnt about you posses Life ain't checkers this is chess Gotta watch every step And face whatever comes with it And if that dont work - then I'm good with it My whole heart in this thing I'm in love it Imma go hard everyday I got Mamba DNA But I never been a snake This is how you change your fate I had no cap and gown But I still graduate The mistakes that I made Was my only education Perseverance mixed with dedication You gotta Keep going Feels like the end of the road It's getting harder to steer When you losing control Keep your hands on the wheel Keep going I know it's hard to get up When they weighing you down Anytime you feel stuck only way to get out Is keep going I wish my daughter could walk And wasnt stuck in a chair She was just 6 months Tell me how that's fair Wish my cousin was here Felt like his work wasnt done He just paid off all his bills to Spend more time with his son 80 hours a week Tryna live debt free But that ain't how life works That's why my fam come first But this life move fast Cant live in the past So I make flight plans Tryna make 5 bands Turn 5 to 10 Turn that 10 to a 100 When I missed my son birthday it made me sick to my stomach Cause the time moves on You dont get that back And tomorrow never promised boy That's facts on facts But I'm here for a purpose It'll come to the surface Im just asking for some patience Promise itll be worth it Perseverance is key To accomplish your goals Just follow your dreams No matter what you was told Keep going I know it's hard to get up When they weighing you down When you feel stuck the only way to get out Is keep going
