[ Featuring Skylark ]
Yo, Mama, hold up, my heart's feelin' heavy,
Two steps in, now my world's feelin' edgy.
Three, trust broke, burned right through,
Four, I ain't breakin' no more, that's true.
Mind hit the floor, I'm pickin' it up slow,
But you, nah, you ain't the one I used to know.
Talkin' all that, spreadin' lies to the youth,
Tryin' to play a part, but I'm seein' through the proof.
It's a toss-up, you went left or right,
But I'm standin' tall, even in the fight.
I take hits, yeah, I feel it bad,
But I rise again, ain't stayin' sad.
I keep climbin', never slowin' down,
Ain't no quit in me, I'll hold my ground.
You tried to knock me, but I'm still here,
I'm runnin' fast, no place for fear.
Used to be cool, used to depend,
Now you flipped, like where you been?
You lost your way, but that ain't on me,
You're just a shadow of who you used to be.
Storms come through, but flowers grow,
I keep it movin', just thought you should know.
You changed the locks, tried to hide the key,
But that ain't stoppin' what's inside of me.
I rise through cracks, yeah, I break through,
Now I'm takin' back everything I'm due.
I keep climbin', never slowin' down,
Ain't no quit in me, I'll hold my ground.
You tried to knock me, but I'm still here,
I'm runnin' fast, no place for fear.
On the grind, tryna make it to the top,
Non-stop, even when the world says stop.
I do it for my fam, for the ones I love,
And for the power up above.
Can't hold me down, I keep pushin' through,
Every step forward's another move.
Seen the rain, yeah, I felt the pain,
But now I'm stronger, standin' through the strain.
I'll keep risin', I ain't givin' in,
Cuz at the end, you know I'll win.
