I see beauty in the shape of feathers, flight like arrows, sparrows I've seen strength in the face of death I've seen money in the streets of ghettos, Soweto, shadows fall Across faces of pain, still they strain for greatness From those years, still sacrificing No fears, just drive like Tyson In flight, I'll soar, can't sit back no more I was waiting on this shit, didn't realize I was waiting on this I'm young and I'm ready I'll run this shit 'til the death of me My ambition is my weaponry I'll run this shit 'til the death of me Determination became the anthem, hung like phantoms, and I learned Retaliate on all my fears I learned love was a type of cancer, killed you faster, the answer was To find peace between those years Over trembling floors, I'm steady But they've written my death already So many times But this fire won't die I was waiting on this shit, didn't realize I was waiting on this I'm young and I'm ready I'll run this shit 'til the death of me My ambition is my weaponry I'll run this shit 'til the death of me It's gone away, gone away, gone away now Not afraid, not afraid, not afraid, no It's gone away, gone away, gone away now I'll run this shit 'til the death of me Ooh My ambition is my weaponry Hey, yeah I was waiting on this shit, didn't realize I was waiting on this I'm young and I'm ready I'll run this shit 'til the death of me Hey, yeah, my ambition is my weaponry I'll run this shit 'til the death of me Oh-yeah 'Til the death of me I'll run this shit 'til the death of me
