| How many times will they tell me «no»?
 | 
| How many times will they shoot me down and close the door?
 | 
| How many times
 | 
| How many times will a nigga fail?
 | 
| How many times have you slipped 'fore you finally prevailed?
 | 
| How many times
 | 
| How many times will you persevere?
 | 
| How many times will you keep faith in the process when it isn’t clear?
 | 
| How many times must you fight your fears?
 | 
| How many time will you get up when you fall?
 | 
| Are you still here?
 | 
| What’s clear to you ain’t clear to me, that’s just a misconception
 | 
| Yeah, I may have fallen, I may have stumbled but I learned my lesson
 | 
| The gift of life, boy, ain’t it nice?
 | 
| Yeah, this shit a blessing
 | 
| The pressure builds the way I can’t take it, I must confess it
 | 
| If it ain’t for me then I’m never stressin'
 | 
| Tryna set my plan in stone, they wanna Etch-A-Sketch it
 | 
| To each their own, I rather roam, I’m resettin' the sentence
 | 
| Adjust the view, my shit’s construed, they aloof to the message
 | 
| May have been low, may have been down, but I never been out
 | 
| Carry the load, breakin' the mold in the midst of a drought
 | 
| Don’t take that much for me to see what you niggas about
 | 
| I said I refuse to be consumed by the hate and the doubt
 | 
| Nigga, ah
 | 
| How many times will they tell me «no»?
 | 
| How many times will they shoot me down and close the door?
 | 
| How many times
 | 
| How many times will a nigga fail?
 | 
| How many times have you slipped 'fore you finally prevailed?
 | 
| How many times
 | 
| How many times will you persevere?
 | 
| How many times will you keep faith in the process when it isn’t clear?
 | 
| How many times must you fight your fears?
 | 
| How many time will you get up when you fall?
 | 
| Are you still here?
 | 
| We so high that we can’t come down
 | 
| Don’t look down
 | 
| Won’t come down
 | 
| We so high that we can’t come down
 | 
| Don’t look down
 | 
| Won’t come down
 | 
| All that I see is these vices
 | 
| Niggas pretend to be righteous
 | 
| Hard to survive in this climate
 | 
| But your senses is heightened
 | 
| Tryin' my best to enlighten
 | 
| But first, I humble myself
 | 
| Gotta put my pride to the side and let it just fall by my waist
 | 
| I might fall flat on my face
 | 
| I know that bitter taste
 | 
| I’m out here tryna keep my faith like a Latter Day Saint
 | 
| I use they words as motivation when they tell me I can’t
 | 
| Outside the box, the way I think
 | 
| Refuse to give in or quit
 | 
| Yeah I can’t
 | 
| How many times will they tell me «no»?
 | 
| How many times will they shoot me down and close the door?
 | 
| How many times
 | 
| How many times will a nigga fail?
 | 
| How many times have you slipped 'fore you finally prevailed?
 | 
| How many times
 | 
| How many times will you persevere?
 | 
| How many times will you keep faith in the process when it isn’t clear?
 | 
| How many times must you fight your fears?
 | 
| How many time will you get up when you fall?
 | 
| Are you still here? |
