Tip My Crown

It's getting hard right now Can't turn back now I gotta keep my feet moving when I fall back down You can't hold me back no Hold me down so looking for another way around you now Yo This is my life so I tip my crown I gotta pick my cross up and stand my ground Not a doubt in my mind Or fear right now I gotta do what I can while I'm here right now Yo I take a breath in heavy from running away But what's gonna happen if I lose my way I'm taking three steps back with every move I make I'm making everybody hate me for the words I say Hey I look back and wonder what it could've been I'm taken back from every time that you would call me friend I still laugh at the fun that we were having then Sometimes I wish that we would never an end But here I am standing on the other side I'm looking back to every single time you lied Inside I look why can't I get you out my mind I'm losing mine and my life is running outta time I gotta take a stand I gotta leave a mark I gotta make a fucking difference in the way I walk And You can go on quitting but Ill never stop I'm running hot on the block till I drop It's getting hard right now Can't turn back now I gotta keep my feet moving when I fall back down You can't hold me back no Or hold me down so Looking for another way around you now Yo This is my life so I tip my crown I gotta pick my cross up and stand my ground Not a doubt in my mind Or fear right now I gotta do what I can while I'm here right now Yo Too many years I fought for the truth And now that I'm here why do I still loose Fucking still prove that I'm still new with my steel shoes Cuz I can't get out of the box that I built you My self doubt is the enemy to my success I'm in the past stuck when I know this ain't my best Then I get stressed feeling like I'm helpless But I'm so blessed l gotta get this off my chest It's getting hard right now Can't turn back now I gotta keep my feet moving when I fall back down You can't hold me back no Hold me down so looking for another way around you now Yo This is my life so I tip my crown I gotta pick my cross up and stand my ground Not a doubt in my mind Or fear right now I gotta do what I can while I'm here right now Yo there's nobody that's gonna hit as hard as life Just last week shit I hit the ground twice Started running thinking that I could escape But now I know that my struggle is my fate Who would I be if I never learned to live again What would I do If I never learned how to defend What would happen If I never made the choice What would happen If the world never hears my voice It's getting hard right now Can't turn back now I gotta keep my feet moving when I fall back down You can't hold me back no Hold me down so looking for another way around you now Yo This is my life so I tip my crown I gotta pick my cross up and stand my ground Not a doubt in my mind or fear right now I gotta do what I can while I'm here right now I know there's more to this life I can feel it in my blood There's more than the broken hearted cry from the hood I know there's more to the ghetto than just filth and poverty I know there's more to the struggle that Ill never fully see More to the land of the brave and home of the free Where all the workers become slaves and freedoms a dream And say someday I'll make it one day I'll be free But then some say I'm crazy when I'm hoping for wings And hoping for dreams of never living the struggle again Never have to think twice about paying the rent Never have to ride the bus cuz your car got towed Never have to lose sleep when the bills come home Yo So whos crazy Me For dreaming big I think it's you for being cool with this fucking way we live And it's so hard but I can't turn back now I know I gotta keep a smile when I fall back down It's getting hard right now I can't turn back now I gotta keep my feet moving when I fall back down You can't hold me back Hold me down looking for another way around you now This is my life so I tip my crown I gotta pick my cross up and stand my ground Not a doubt in my mind Or fear right now Gotta do what I can while I'm here right now
