It must of been hard to be a prisoner
In a place you felt alone
It must of been hard to find lost feeling
When real love you were never shown
It must of been hard to care alot
They cherished everything you're not
It must of been easier to throw thier stones
Then to rebuild whats been lost
It must of been hard to look inside yourself
Forgive and remind yourself
That you can step outside yourself and see
That you can be strong
You can be cool
You can know just what to do
So when you feel like crying
Speak your mind and keep on
It must feel good to know the answers
To the questions they still ask
It must feel good to move forward
While they dwell upon the past
It must feel good to face your failures
Look at all you've learned
It must feel good to know you've risin
The page is finally turned
It must of been hard to look inside yourself
Forgive and remind yourself
That you can step outside yourself and see
You can be strong
You can be cool
You can know just what to do
So when you feel like crying
You can be strong
You can be tough
Gotta know you're good enough
So when you feel like dying
Shed a tear and keep on rising
Keep On Rising
Keep On Rising
Slow, yeah I know
You're hearts been aching
Something gets lost
Every hit you take
To get high now
You use fire
Once there burned a mad desire
Dust settles, Write again
Pride says keep out
Dead end
Rode my hope down to The Showdown
Sacred Cow, Now I know
The brutal beating my boy would take
Bubbley Eyed, Head off Straight
Said "Today is gone, soon's too late"
You're all messed up. "Look at your face"
I'll never forget what Homeboy said
Fire and Ice
Cold engine read
"You were acting alive, looking almost dead"
Then Word rolled out.
Thoughts in my head
We found our place
Long way to climb
To get fourth place
Long way to fall
Flat on our face
"Get Up"
