[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]
