[Verse I] I'm never giving up, always gonna push ahead I'm better off dead if I quit, look at the road I got ahead All I see is greatness from the path I've done led A rapper born in a time past the ca**ette I've got all to lose, but still so much to get Why stop when I've yet to get what I've sketched in my head? I'm a bayonet, Kut and proceedin' with sharp-pens Lyrics so complex, got the alphabet tangled in webs Got 8 Legs, a spider ready to spin on em Causin' a threat, straight up ready to offend on the offense Like a Falcon! cause I'm takin' off like a large jet! With a pad and a pen, Oops, looks like the bad is back again I hate it, I can't really stand being me Cause me, is somebody that you don't wanna be Reach deep, and don't think it sweet to be me Cause me is just the worst thing you can possibly be, peace! [Hook] I gotta stand up, gotta keep up I really gotta move on! Can't stop now, cause if I do How can I keep calm?! I gotta stand up, gotta keep up I really gotta move on! Can't stop now, cause if I do I ought to just be gone! [Verse II] If I hate life, well, then why don't I just say goodbye Cause then people will only remember me for suicide But I'm not Amanda Todd! I'm keeping myself alive through rhymes I'm keeping the color of my hair, cause I ain't prepared to dye! I'm occupying every minute, all my time to provide A hit that you'll buy and want to (TURN UP) so freaking high! Keep it amplified twice as much to double the vibe! Won't do d**, that little high, could ruin' my life Like a knife that left a cut, bleeding right out of my side And my thigh, it's a blood bath, just take a dive
But still keep your eyes on the prize If you lose your drive then you'll lose that strife And then you lose everything, surprise surprise But you know? I can't really stand being me Cause me, is somebody that you don't wanna be Reach deep, and don't think it sweet to be me Cause me is just the worst thing you can possibly be, peace! [Hook] I gotta stand up, gotta keep up I really gotta move on! Can't stop now, cause if I do How can I keep calm?! I gotta stand up, gotta keep up I really gotta move on! Can't stop now, cause if I do I ought to just be gone! [Bridge] Don't waste your life, cause you should know... you gotta move on Don't give up now, cause you should know... you've gotta move on [Verse III] I look in the mirror, the one thing I see Is an ignorant, soon to be dropped out emcee But he doesn't realize the one thing that he really needs Is a beat to slaughter, and to be free But now he knows how to make himself better than the rest! To be the best, he's gotta stretch every boundary he has left Ditch home if he's gotta, he just knows he's got to impress Cause once he impresses the best of 'em, he's officially formed with finesse But besides that I can't really stand being me Cause me, is somebody that you don't wanna be Reach deep, and don't think it sweet to be me Cause me is just the worst thing you can possibly be, peace! [Hook] I gotta stand up, gotta keep up I really gotta move on! Can't stop now, cause if I do How can I keep calm?! I gotta stand up, gotta keep up I really gotta move on! Can't stop now, cause if I do I ought to just be gone! (x2)
