First things first I got a lot on my chest
All I ever wanted was the respect, uh
I've been an LP soldier many a day
Lake Park, Linkin Park, now I'm rocking the stage
I use to lay on top of my bunk bed dreaming of this
Then I'd look into the stars and I'd wish
That one day I'd be ill as Jay-Z flowing over the rock beats
Wish became a vision, now no one can stop me
I can't fail
As long as I don't give up hope and keep my head up
Been through hell
But if that's what it takes then keep the punches rolling
So one time for the dreamers
One time for the passionate, one time for the activists
That beat the odds of making it out
And got clout just how they imagined it, uh
But the fame ain't pushing us through
Cause the art always comes from the soul
And if you never try, then you'll never know
So you gotta go hard
Never put off tomorrow what today you can start
I can't fail
As long as I don't give up hope and keep my head up
Been through hell
But if that's what it takes then keep the punches rolling
