Brando Blu - Be Strong Lyrics

Weathering the storm, f*ck the overcast
I don't burn my bridges, need the overpass
Aiming to be great, f*ck coming in last
Running up a check got me feeling gassed
Them real nigga genes in my chromosomes
Vice grip the vision, yeah I'm holding on
Cuz life hits hard like going going gone
Popeye with the green yeah I'm gone be strong
Like I'm gone be strong
I'm gone hold on
Im gone be great, yeah can't do wrong yeah yeah
I'm gone be strong yeah yeah

I'll be the example, I'm the prototype
Only heading up, that's where I'll go for life
Been working 5-9, but this ain't overnight
Remember niggas did me wrong, so I just overwrite
All the pain that I endured what help me earn my stripes
Now I'm Tony The Tiger with it, they know I'm nice
And if I blow know it ain't a fluke, I'll do it twice
I'm gambling with the cards dealt, like it was dice
I used to try to be average, back when I called it normal
I wish that I could go tell myself through a time portal
That fitting in aint the way to go, f*ck being formal
Be true to you, we all different don't lose your soul
It's all a scheme to get our green, they hope we follow
What's new today is made a trend to sell tomorrow
They say what's in and then we spend like the moneys borrowed
No Tyra Banks but we all compete to be Top Models
Struggles of being an American
It's prolly easier if I had fairer skin
I used to speak up to God and ask could he try again
Give me a redo cuz all the pain I would hold within
Was waring down on the walls I put up to keep it in
I'm playing angel in a movie bout a world of sin
Where the demons get wings too, and say they ya friend
And make you think that you losing touch with ya own skin

Weathering the storm, f*ck the overcast
I don't burn my bridges, need the overpass
Aiming to be great, f*ck coming in last
Running up a check got me feeling gassed
Them real nigga genes in my chromosomes
Vice grip the vision, yeah I'm holding on
Cuz life hits hard like going going gone
Popeye with the green yeah I'm gone be strong
Like I'm gone be strong
I'm gone hold on
Im gone be great, yeah can't do wrong yeah yeah
I'm gone be strong yeah yeah

Asking questions like why me? Like why lord
What is my purpose, I need something to die for
I need a job here, tell me what to apply for
I been a G no HI like dial 4
But tell me how you stand strong through the week
Tell me how you correspond and stay unique
How you keep from bumping heads with everybody that you meet
How you balance being humble when you know they can't compete
But they keep on stabbing at you, and they stomping on ya feet
How you maintain a smile and still plot on they defeat
If I hate the way you moving, best believe that imma speak
Aint one for confrontation, but aint no walking over me
Squirrels trynna get a nut, but don't come barking up my tree
On some bitch shit, or imma have to spazz on ya G
I'm legit with everything I say, it's what I mean
You misunderstand, then I'll break it down til you see
Where I'm coming from, or at least where I stand
I try to give it true, Aint no lies from me man
I been doing it proper, been sticking to the plan
Usain to the money like a mf'in Van (Sprinter)
I'm the Dondada, yeah do it proper
Put that steel to ya brain like a shottah
These cold hard facts hit ya vein like a shot does
Only way to go is up, guess that tells where I was
No Opera, but imma go hard til the fat lady sings
I'm living right, I pray at night, I know I'm bound for rings
Sumn like Sonic with it way this boy do his thing
Got these crack lines, thought I was a plug for the feigns

Weathering the storm, f*ck the overcast
I don't burn my bridges, need the overpass
Aiming to be great, f*ck coming in last
Running up a check got me feeling gassed
Them real nigga genes in my chromosomes
Vice grip the vision, yeah I'm holding on
Cuz life hits hard like going going gone
Popeye with the green yeah I'm gone be strong
Like I'm gone be strong
I'm gone hold on
Im gone be great, yeah can't do wrong yeah yeah
I'm gone be strong yeah yeah
