| I got good at fucking up because I practice all the time
|
| I got stupid and I got stuck I got left without a dime
|
| I left early and I showed up late
|
| Everybody’s upset because I made them all wait
|
| I never paid it too much mind
|
| Until I turned around and noticed it was all the time
|
| NO MATTER HOW SEVERE I’M GONNA PERSEVERE
|
| I got chased by the cops I got caught and I got beat up
|
| I caught a flashlight across my skull
|
| I was handcuffed to the wall
|
| I got busted I got beat but from my beliefs
|
| I would not retreat
|
| Thrown in the holding cell
|
| Well they want me to rat
|
| They can rot in hell
|
| NO MATTER HOW SEVERE, I’M GONNA PERSEVERE
|
| Stuck on stupid
|
| Tired of feeling always down it’s time I turned my life around
|
| Turned my life around no matter how severe
|
| I got good at getting back I’m not afraid to speak my mind
|
| I got good at keeping my cool because I know how to let things slide
|
| I got good at making mistakes
|
| I’ve lucked out and I’ve had my bad breaks
|
| They got me backed up against the wall
|
| The harder they come yes the harder they fall
|
| The struggle goes on the struggle is long
|
| But it’s always darkest before the dawn
|
| Good things come to those who wait
|
| Well I’m all fucked up but I’m coming straight |
