[Verse 1]
I see beauty in the shape of feathers, flight like arrows, sparrows
I've seen strength in the face of d**h
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
[Chorus]
I was waiting on this sh**
Didn't realize I was waiting on this
I'm young and I'm ready
I'll run this sh** till the d**h of me
My ambition is my weaponry
I'll run this sh** till the d**h of me
[Verse 2]
Determination became the anthem, hung like phantoms, and I learned
Retaliate on all my fears
I learned love was a type of cancer, k**ed you faster, the answer was
To find peace between those years
Over trembling floors, I'm steady
But they've written my d**h already
So many times
But this fire won't die
[Chorus]
