[Verse 1: The Jokerr]
I got a heart full of gold
And always tried to do as was told
But they never told me this whole world could be so cold
They never told me i'd be heartbroken rolled in a ball in the hall of a dark house with no-one to call
They never
Said i'd never have a dad
They never told i could be evicted and be stripped of everything i had
They never told me if i gave them my heart she'd rip it out, tear it apart and hurt me so bad
But yo
Listen, i'm still here
I made it through the fire alive despite the agony and spilled tears
And now i've got the battle scars to prove that you could make it through too and fight your concealed fears
I did it
So follow my lead and just remember a heart beating and the air in your lungs is all that you need
To succeed, take it from me
And even if you have to bleed keep pushing and you'll see
[Hook]
When life gets you down
Don't worry, you've got plenty of time its no hurry
It's hard, I know
But then you will grow
When everything falls to the bottom
Remember that the winter comes after the autumn
It's hard, I know
But then you will grow
[Verse 2: Dubbs]
I never thought it'd be this hellish a ride
I'm not the type to hide the hurt behind the shell of my pride
I never thought i'd be in this room the morning before he died
And not be able to speak, let alone tell him goodbye
Deep depression, feeling hopeless
Hoping that my kids aren't old enough to know this, it's bogus
Christmas time I was struggling(?) disturbed
When I couldn't afford the presents that I thought they deserved. (Damn)
That was just last year
But I smashed on the damn clutch and shifted that motherf**er in that last gear
I could've crashed here
But yo I hit the breaks
And made a decision to switch into a different space
Cuz when you realize that half of it is attitude and a ton of people got it worse or just as bad as you
You can make a change too
In the darkest of times
Look in your heart and you'll find
[Hook]
[Verse 3: Shok]
Motivation, comes and goes to those to have the patience
I know your mind be wastin' take those angry thoughts and safely place them
Aside and focus upon your time and what you're doing now
You can make your dream come true, just got to prove it, how
Does everything keep going wrong and everybody's acting fake
They push you down cuz all they want to do is aggravate
Why do they even have to hate?
Don't let em' shut you down, I know you may be alone with no one else around
Getting hurt use to slow me down, now I laugh at pain
No matter what you lose in life in the end's what you got to gain
Now i'm not preaching that you want more and i've been there
It gets better I promise you
Look even if you've been scared
Put all your faith in light I know you've been through dark days
But try to find a time where you and hatred can part ways
Don't let the evil enter
I know we're born sinners
Keep your face strong and remember
[Hook x2]
