[Intro]
Let me tell you something you already know, The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows
It's a very mean and nasty place, and I don't care how tough you are
It will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it
You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life
But it ain't about how hard you hit
It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward;
How much you can take and keep moving forward!
[Verse I: 57 Pixels]
In all of it that is great
I'm still walking around like I haven't ate
A disgrace; I wonder if my parents think conceiving me was a mistake
But just wait, I got something to say on this take
I've never spit real
All I know how to do is quit and steal
Got locked up now I can't fit this feel
Of turning my life around to get repealed
All the homies I rode with fled
No one knows me, like I'm faceless and dead
Ciroc and weed got their minds instead
They're seventeen and seem to have no life ahead
Why should I try it's worthless?
People with food stamps have a Cadillac purchased
The only normal people belong to the circus
And everyone can't be real on the surface
Why do I even spit these verses?
Is it for some money or my sudden urges?
To let my feelings out in a way you can interpret
Ma, I'm really just trying to find my purpose
I roll around my town and see it bleed
People ask for stuff so needlessly
Work is work, man be appreciative
It doesn't matter if it;s what you dreamed to be
If you got a family to support than do this:
Swallow your pride and toss out the excuses
You're going to be the only one that loses
With the rest of your life remaining reclusive
Why try to take from other people?
They've earned what they got man, that's just evil
You can do the same if you just try
And get what you need by being peaceful
(Don't drain all the kindness it's very feeble
The reserves are low and it's getting steeper)
We're all equal, and that knowledge is lethal
Some of us abuse that stuff like needles
Equality doesn't mean we go half and half
It's we all get a chance to grab at that
(If you got something small don't be mad, in fact
It's way better than what most have to pack
Remember the Beatles song "Let it Be"?
Did you get the meaning or will you never see?
It is what it is a memory
But it's hard because of how much y'all mean to me.)
In a time of crisis, would you do what you're ordered?
Even if it meant your friend being tortured?
Your mind is cornered, so you put of borders
All I got to say is try to keep Moving Forward
[Outro]
Go out and get what you're worth
But you gotta be willing to take the hits
And not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody
