| You can’t say no weapon formed against you shall prosper
|
| Then fold up when it get hard
|
| Let’s go after it
|
| Life was pretty rough for a minute there
|
| The status of your sanity was in the air
|
| Almost impossible not to consume hate
|
| When bad luck is living with you like a roommate
|
| The clouds got dark and started rumbling
|
| The rain from the outside was coming in
|
| You’re trying not to panic but that’s the case
|
| The water got higher, it was at your waist
|
| It’s hell now but I ain’t got to tell you that
|
| It’s closing in on me, God where you at?
|
| You’re hurting for some bread, looking at your son
|
| That lil' 9 to 5 just ain’t getting it done
|
| Your partner’s make your weeks pay in half a day
|
| Promise your baby mama not to get it that way
|
| Life’s circumstances make it kinda hard to trust
|
| We always remember God is a part of us
|
| We overcoming obstacles and letting blessings in
|
| I heard somebody say success is the best revenge
|
| If you utilise the talent that was put in you
|
| You can master everything they said you couldn’t do
|
| See, all you wanna do is make the drama die
|
| Your daddy never claimed you and your mama’s high
|
| It’s hard to trust people, you afraid of help
|
| With no parents around so you raised yourself
|
| All your life people shooting slugs at you
|
| Every time you take a step they knock you back two
|
| Your house was like hell; |
| years, days and months
|
| Next door neighbours' living like the Brady Bunch
|
| Wish you could’ve went to school and do something great
|
| But sometimes you barely ate and couldn’t concentrate
|
| «You ain’t nothing but a loser» that’s what people said
|
| You ain’t evil but you hustling for illegal bread
|
| You resorted to the streets and started getting love
|
| 'Cus the thugs was the only folks who didn’t judge
|
| And even though you might have one or two stripes
|
| Deep in your heart you know there’s greater purpose for your life
|
| You can’t let your dreams shrivel up, or burst and die
|
| Just because it didn’t happen on the first try
|
| Or the second, or the third, or the fourth time
|
| Diamonds don’t define greatness, let your heart shine
|
| You keep running up on these locked doors
|
| Accept God’s version of a blessing not yours
|
| We don’t always know what’s best so trust in him because
|
| You don’t even know yourself better than he does
|
| Satan’s cup is full of hate so let the evil drink
|
| You too grown to worry about what other people think
|
| Spiritual war try to make your higher conscious win
|
| Even if the Devil do get a few punches in
|
| And we can heal to the fullest soon
|
| If we stop putting band-aids on bullet wounds
|
| Addressing problems from the root’ll make you sober quick
|
| And watch how strong you get once it’s over with |
