Through This Life

And I know I have to make my own way
With every breath that I take
I'll survive through this life, through this life

My daughter's begging me to play but I got work to do
I'm grinding till I never hear the words "I haven't heard of you"
Positions I was in, horrendous, left me mortified
Escaped without a scratch, I paid attention to the warning signs
I write about it then I'm witnessing the crowd cry
From back then to now it's truly been a wild ride
More than a rhyme writer, I been doing this since Limewire
Almost at my pinnacle but still I need to climb higher
I'm a little weird, I don't got a single flex
You can stare upon the surface, I'll continue bringing depth
Stand back, hands wrapped, I would rather face the fight
I'm thanking God daily that He placed you in my life
I was sent an angel, count the days until we're married
I'm expressing my emotions, you know the ones I used to bury
Now I wandered off the path, train is off the tracks
I had to change the way I act so I could change what I attract

I don't gotta prove myself
I'm gonna do what feels right
Take my hand and walk with me, yeah

And I know I have to make my own way
With every breath that I take
And I must find my true self
Through my flaws and my faults
Regardless of the struggles I face
I won't fall, I won't break
And I must trust when I try
I'll survive through this life, through this life

I'm tryna make an impact, leave a legacy but time will tell
My music saved your life, listen it saved mine as well
I been in situations, didn't think I'd make it through
You relate to me, understand I relate to you
Now let me grab a paddle, help you row, we're in the same boat
Facing a storm together, get the umbrella and raincoat
My fans are not associates, we got that special bond
I'm coming from nothing, nowhere near that upper echelon
Now I'm puzzled as I wonder how I got here
Survival of the fittest, my experience is top-tier
The burden's heavy, I'll help you carry the baggage
Then we're planning properly until a solution is established
Encounter struggle so I'm shifting into battle mode
Tryna keep it steady as I'm traveling this gravel road
Was never fed from silver spoons, more like a rusted fork
But over the years was fortunate to have enough support

I don't gotta prove myself
I'm gonna do what feels right
Take my hand and walk with me, yeah

And I know I have to make my own way
With every breath that I take
And I must find my true self
Through my flaws and my faults
Regardless of the struggles I face
I won't fall, I won't break
And I must trust when I try
I'll survive through this life, through this life
