T. Karras - Against All Odds Lyrics

I made it, against all odds
I make the tracks rock, against all odds
I've shown you what it's like to go against all odds
And come out better, against all odds
I made it, against all odds
I learned how to rap, against all odds
I made a lot of connects, against all odds
And I'll continue to go against the odds
I made it, against all odds
Proving to all of y'all that I'm not a fraud
I'm the actual deal, real, one who can feel
The emotions inside and yes I don't hide
Who I am, I bring it all to you
Even though I don't have a clue
Cause my brain been inflicted with a disability
Got past that misery through rapping alone
I've been atoning for my sins even though I can't win
Against the devil himself, I don't know where to begin
It's like he controls my life, guiding me down the wrong path
Destiny it's like math, trying to control it is hard
So I attempt to change it through the bars that I lay
And even though you say that I'm pathetic and worthless
I manage the stress that I have in my everyday life
It ain't right what I'm going through but what can I do?
I made it, against all odds
I make the tracks rock, against all odds
I've shown you what it's like to go against all odds
And come out better, against all odds
I made it, against all odds
I learned how to rap, against all odds
I made a lot of connects, against all odds
And I'll continue to go against the odds
I survive any obstacle that came my way
Because this is the game that I have to play
Right trigger to hit, left stick to run
I don't have a gun but I know how to fight
My life be a motion picture with the story laid out
The plot: how to get a lot of clout before my life is up
And I'm almost 30, what have I done?
I should be as hot as the sun right now
But still I made it right, that's all that matters
So what if I ain't getting a silver platter?
I persevere in everything that I do
And I don't need to wear shades to be cool
I just do what I do wherever I can
I'm not masculine because that doesn't make a man
Life choices do and even though I made a lot of bad ones
I'm still man enough to recognize when I'm wrong
I made it, against all odds
I make the tracks rock, against all odds
I've shown you what it's like to go against all odds
And come out better, against all odds
I made it, against all odds
I learned how to rap, against all odds
I made a lot of connects, against all odds
And I'll continue to go against the odds
If my life was like a fight then I'd be winning
And losing at the same time, I'm not blind
I know going against the odds requires a lot of skill
And with my lyrical brain, I definitely have the will
Power to make myself the man of the hour
I'll never fall cause I'm tall like a tower
6 foot, 2 inches tall, I'm not afraid of the fall
Because I've experienced that downfall, so many times
Failure is on my mind because I rarely experience success
So much stress to be the best, might purposely fail the test
Cause it's not worth it to excel to the next level
Might as well be disheveled so I can make the music
That makes me number one, I love being at the bottom
Cause that allows me to solve all my problems
And rise up, against all odds to be alone at the top
And know this, I'm never going to drop or stop what I'm doin'
