I never forget where I came from
For the close up
I touched the sky that was built from the ground up
Never measured up
But that never stopped me yeah
This heart turned Purple says it all
Paint me like a graffiti wall
Pain's the cost of all the love we've lost
So protect yourself from the ambush
Don't ever let your guard down
Protect yourself from the ambush
Don't ever let your guard down
The things we do just to keep up
They don't add up
Rock bottom's where a failure's a new ground, to take flight
Know you always have one last breath
Let all the rage inside you go
Don't be afraid to lose control
All you need is a penny for your thoughts
So protect yourself from the ambush
Don't ever let your guard down
Protect yourself from the ambush
Don't ever let your guard down
So protect yourself from the ambush
Don't ever let your guard down
I said protect yourself from the ambush
Don't ever let your guard down, guard down
It's gonna take a challenge challenge
To change the things that you know
To find balance balance, yeah
You got to find the space to grow
Open up and let your feelings show
Know your worth but stay vulnerable
So protect yourself from the ambush
So protect yourself from the ambush
Don't ever let your guard down
I said protect yourself from the ambush
Don't ever let your guard down
Two wrongs don't make it right
Keep your head up and enjoy the ride
The challenge is not impossible
Know your self but stay vulnerable
Two wrongs don't make it right
So protect yourself
