AB - Just the Intro... Lyrics

No backing off, when my back's against the wall
How many of us fall when we feel like we gave it all?
How many of us try and persevere through the struggle?
Shit'll get to your head and leave you stuck in the rubble
Meanwhile, I'm out here grinding
Still moving like I've never been stuck
Wondering why I just never give up
I mean I toy with the idea
Partly from a religious stance
The other side of me asks if I ever stood the chance?
Hear the staccato in the way I say these words
Separate them from my heart, and let them spill out in this verse
Understand that what you're hearing is the realest shit you've heard
How many of us felt as though we were going from bad worse?
I know
Devil creeping, just waiting for you to break
All the while, God is testing you
Seeing what you can take
One is trying to deceive you
The other is tryna save you
One is trying to protect you
The other is tryna play you
In this game called life, boy
There's choices we are given
And I pray that I'm forgiven
For the way that I've been living
I'm not perfect
I got flaws
Made some choices that were hard
But I know what's in my heart
And I know God won't do me wrong, I'm a
Black star, most def
One of the last ones left
To say the least, I plan to flip this whole game on its head
And when it's all said and done
Just remember
This life is temporary, but your words will live forever
Always
