Everybody knows me, I don't fold under pressure
I'm like the salt in a bag, you could take a half measure
You couldn't handle me at my full weight, full treasure
I'm moving up in my weight class, knock you out just for pleasure
I'm like a teaspoon of love and a quarter cup of regret
You corner me with a roll of quarters, I come for the neck
This ain't no pity party, child's play
Broken hearts and broken legs, hobble off to fill my days
Hardship, heartless, subtle ways
I know you couldn't stomach me when I'm at my best
While I've been climbing up the stairs, you wanted more, I want less
My plan B was my scapegoat, hold on, let go
Right from the get-go, you ain't on my payroll
I mess around, you feel it now, the ship that sailed has run aground
You fool me once, I shut you down, I run this place, just look around
I ain't got time for all you clowns, I climbed a hill, you went back down
There ain't no honour in this town, the bar was low, I raised it now
In this life, nothing comes easy
So I try my best
I walk and walk and walk again
I get up in the city, then get down
Never afraid when I mess up
The Lord will lift me when I'm down
I get up in the city, then get down
Never afraid when I mess up
The Lord will lift me when I'm down
Stop
This is my dissertation
Focus on the future, getting out the simulation
All about my life awareness of my situation
Tried to do this right, in fairness, this feel like probation
All praise to my Lord, giving Him the exaltation
Keep up with the pattern for the future generations
I ain't finna post a pic that's vanity vexation
I don't really care about what you did for your vacation
I got higher purpose, that is my realization
I keep telling myself
That I
Will be alright
Yeah I'm 'gon be alright
In this life, nothing comes easy
So I try my best
I walk and walk and walk again
I get up in the city, then get down
Never afraid when I mess up
The Lord will lift me when I'm down
I get up in the city, then get down
Never afraid when I mess up
The Lord will lift me when I'm down
