[Intro]
Yeah
Everyone out there right now in this world feeling like they can't find their place on this earth
You're not alone in this
Been alive for 19 years in this struggle
But tonight
We going 12 rounds with it
We going 12 rounds with failure
[Verse 1]
Boxing gloves on
19 battle years in these hands
Bring on the 12 rounds
I can hear failure asking for a fight
Cranium wounded with deflated uranium
How I then now not the bomb?
You wanna talk about perseverance?
Man I'm an abortion alive
When you jog in sand it's not resistance it's persistence
That one day I keep dreaming of it
Winning the battle
Jihad in my mind
Ever since '96 my talent being the piece needed to complete the puzzle
The story of my struggle being the tutoring to the hustle
In
My dream I made an album
The ish went platinum
In reality it was just another photo album of lost ones
This isn't just another radio hit
It's that game changer
The ability to never submit
It drives you through consequent difficulties
My pa**ion scored
When life dealt me penalties
[Hook]
This is a rebel song!
( Hey!)
This is a rebel song!
(Hey, Hey! Hey!)
Thinking music the Hennessey tempering with your mind
(Can you feel the power?)
I am the same rebel they accuse you of being
(Hey, Hey! Hey!)
I went 12 rounds with failure
(I am a fighter)
Failed to lose yes call me a failure I ain't alive if I ain't winning
So I went 12 rounds with failure!
[Verse 2]
When the industry closed its thighs
I pulled out a 16 inch
Couldn't my dreams fly away like a fish eagle that just caught its prey
I felt
Like just another fish in the sea until success caught me
And I got hooked to winning
For all my gangsta n***as
Get out the life while you still alive
Winter is
Now for every loser walking through the melting pot
The stove is on, cook that hot 16
Recuperate from lack of self-belief it's fatal
Cagitate beyond your thinking capability
Agitate failure
Eff the stairs elevate your ability
I don't do punchlines
I punch lines
Make it hard for you to read between the lines
Yeah! why you think you lost?
Conquering this resistance
Prospering under this dark cloud
Every fear every tear you can pull through
[Hook]
This is a rebel song!
( Hey!)
This is a rebel song!
(Hey, Hey! Hey!)
Thinking music the Hennessey tempering with your mind
(Can you feel the power?)
I am the same rebel they accuse you of being
(Hey, Hey! Hey!)
I went 12 rounds with failure
(I am a fighter)
Failed to lose yes call me a failure I ain't alive if I ain't winning
So I went 12 rounds with failure!
[Verse 3]
You, the fans are what makes me, breaks me
I have never used weapons
My verses are my ammunition
My ambition is my religion
I annihilated obstacles
I drove failure to shamble
I rid myself off the shackles
I intercepted
And butchered life's tackles
Understand you're coluses
Devour
And crunch failure like apples
You can't give in
Hope never dies, nothing ever does
Only new beginnings
Whether hell or paradise
It can get more difficult than this
It swiftly amplifies
You have the mystique to exorcise negativity
First ponder if you can sacrifice
Perseverance compensates
Arise and ignite
Conceal
And when it's time to blow, reveal!
One thing about ambition
It requires you to conceive conceit
It's not about pride it's persuit of happiness
Forget my craziness
I awaken realization of potential success
I'm the human mattress
Yo vocation is to take an excursion into success
And bring it to life, not to impress
