It's like lately I been having all these long sleepless nights
All alone trapped in mental boxing in tryna to fight
It's like lately I been feeling all alone in this world
And I don't know why
But mama raised a solider nigga
I stand tall on my feet
No I will never lose this battle
Head high time to see
This life won't beat me I won't let it
It's my time now
Cause It's me myself and I gotta hold it down
Living on the edge my nigga man can't you see
I was tested in ways that others couldn't even feel
Fighting demons late at night just thinking how this life might be
If I was gone would they respect me
Plant my roses and see
Too many lives would be effected
I got too much to live for
I Got family, I got dreams I gotta prove that I build for
In this cruel world man I don't know what to think
People they'll smile they show you love but be the ones who gone fold
Like what is life
Be mindful of the ones in your circle they quick to stab in your back and won't look back From the hurdle
My heart is colder now but know this life is
A test
Ready or you not you gotta take it dont look back no regrets
It's like lately I been having all these long sleepless nights
All alone trapped in mental boxing in tryna to fight
It's like lately I been feeling all alone in this world
And I don't know why
But mama raised a solider nigga
I stand tall on my feet
No I will never lose this battle
Head high time to see
This life won't beat me I won't let it
It's my time now
Cause It's me myself and I gotta hold it down
Now as I sit back and reflect I'm just like what is life
Am I living to make it by what am I doing right
Man I got dreams bigger than Ali they faster quicker no rocky
I'm coming to change this game take it over I'm like spike lee
Just like Jordan in the clutch can't nobody compare to me
Imma hungry driven monster ain't nobody ahead of me
Just a beast up in the jungle take a look in my eye
Eye of the tiger when I attack dont act so shook or surprised
Cause when I make it imma tell my whole city we on
I'm from the Carolinas baby it ain't nothin like home
I can't forget bout where it started
No I ain't letting up
Cause my life is truly golden
Watch me build my way up
