This I Earned |
Fiction you made up to believe |
Lives on a screen but it’s not reality |
Actions that you didn’t take |
Is why you’re concerned with the ones that I make |
Now you’ve noticed your day slipping fast |
Was it well spent or were you stepping back? |
You counted all my blessings as you went |
Leaving your mark of discontent |
(This I earned) |
I wasn’t born with it |
I bled for this |
Be bound to your word |
When you live by it |
You prove your worth |
(This I earned) |
It wasn’t handed to me |
I did what I had to |
Be bound to your word |
It’s not what you deserve, you get what you earn |
Don’t indulge in delusions to satisfy |
I don’t escape today with dreams gone by |
Perfection of the present doesn’t exist |
The future’s at stake, it isn’t granted |
For this I bled |
For this I bled |
My blood I shed for this |
You want a future worth fighting for? |
With skin in the game? |
Be bound to your word |
Everything is at stake |
My blood |
My blood I shed for this |
My blood |
My blood I shed for this |
You think this was handed to me? |
Some offering taken at birth |
I’ve withstood every hardship |
To prove myself of worth |
(This I earned) |
I wasn’t born with it |
I bled for this |
Be bound to your word |
When you live by it |
You prove your worth |
(This I earned) |
It wasn’t handed to me |
I did what I had to |
Be bound to your word |
It’s not what you deserve, you get what you earn |
Earned in blood |
A life that’s well deserved |
Take what’s due |
Once you prove your worth |
(Earn it) |
