Verse 1:
No when I think about my past
And what has brought me down this path
I remember tears and laughs
Friends and family and enemies I've had
Many of times I've devalued my self worth
Picked on by cousins and teammates that wouldn't help first
Some just kids being kids, no harm done
But others being bullies while claiming they aren't one
The rest came from me, a triangle, trying angles
To fit in every square and circle I came through
If I could get paid for it, they'd call me Chamillionaire
They like me, but I blend in too well; it's like I'm filling here
No racial, but like a token no words needed just extra
Only on stage with a mic is when I stepped up
But was that all I was good for? I battled inside
Then God, mom & dad got me to put that aside
Chorus:
I ain't dead. I ain't done
I ain't scared. I ain't run
But still I stand no matter what, people
Here I am no matter what. Remember
I ain't break. I ain't fold
They hate more. Yeah I know
Here I go no matter what, baby
Here I go no matter what
Verse 2:
But that don't stop the struggle, I still have my problems
Sometimes I feel like the solute instead of the solvent
Maintaining the resolution to be part of the solution
Is harder when thought pollution becomes all consuming
Are you making the right choice? Listening to the right voice?
Who are you letting down? Will this end with a frown?
Do you put enough effort into making you happy?
Can this decision lead you to a life that is crappy?
Sorry for lack of gimmicks. It's simply because while in it
Everything's complicated; to add to that makes you grimace
Deep thoughts you run from cause you see them as roadblocks
Escaping through entertainment to return to your
Obstacles untouched until you make the move
To quit making excuses and begin to push through
Hard work to do, but allow someone to help you
And the support will get you to say what I do
Chorus
