Yeah, one more time
Yeah
Same people that you lift up are gon' let you fall
They gon' leave you down in the dirt til you're left to crawl
And then they coming right back around like a tetherball
Expecting you to answer the very second you get a call
So many times I led myself in this trap
Look at that, it's no wonder my heart turned cold and so black
Watch the people smiling at you cuz when the day is a wrap
They gon' wait til you ain't looking to put a knife in your back
WHY
Stay on your path, and don't let nobody get in your way
You only get one chance at this life, so make it great
You gon' see the envy in people once you start getting paid
They never chased their dreams so they gon' wanna fill you with shade
Never be toning it down, never be giving it fake
Even when you're on the ground, always stay true for your sake
Yeah, and don't let no one put you on the shelf
You don't need love from no one else if you got some for yourself
Ay
Nowadays, so many people ain't know what's right
They never takin' chances, they never wanna go roll the dice
Spending time online, but there is more to life
Just hide behind those comments I bet you that you alone at night
Wooh
Sometimes the one's who are closest to you all wish you fell
Listen well, I know your mind can make you sit and dwell
But when you're feeling all stuck inside of that prison cell
Don't ever think of quitting, just back up and then give em hell
Look, It is my time now, won't slow down til I'm gone
Friends gon' tell you that you will make it then they hate it when you get on
Ain't that sad now right, I guess they found no light
Inside the darkest days you're blamed cuz they can't climb those heights
Remember who you are at any moment that you're knocked down
No one's perfect, that's a facade, don't let anybody push you around
They gon' doubt, stand your ground, ain't no time for turning back now
Only you can make yourself great, stay on that route and never fall out
Yah
Dedication, I never could start again
My whole life I told everyone that I was gonna win
Manifesting all my dreams like ABC's til the end
Learned the hard way on this road that there's no help they will lend
It's just you and yourself, don't ever give in to fear
In hard times, you gon' shine when things don't seem so clear
Look, your path can feel so dark when there's no one else
Just don't forget the place you came from and stay true to yourself
HEY
I ask the lord can he save my soul
These nights are long and they get so cold
Sometimes I'm high, then I feel so low
I try to rise and I will not fold
Never change the pace you can see in my eyes
Got food for thought, take a walk in my mind
Even if I'm tired on the road that I'm on
I'ma give my all til my days are gone
Yeah
