How Many Times???

How many, how many, how many How many, how many, how many times Yeah How many times Can I get knocked down and get right back up again I stay down, and yet I'm still struggling Late night, up again asking How many times Can I pass my tray until I roll up again I moved forward, but now I feel stuck again Won't give up again, no but How many times Can I get knocked down and get right back up again I stay down, and yet I'm still struggling Late night, up again asking How many times Can I pass my tray until I roll up again I moved forward but now I feel stuck again Won't give up again, no but Lately I been going through a lot (I been going through it) I guess ain't much changed Trying not to go insane But it's hard when you going thru the same ole thang Just tryna make this rap thing pop (I been tryna make it) I wanna be a household name Really though I couldn't care less for the fame I just do it for the art and the love of the game Sometimes I be feeling like what's the use I'm gifted, I know that I got the juice But daily I sit back and look at these at the artists like "this is who y'all gon compare me to?" Cause most of these rappers is terrible I get higher than most, I go aerial Everyday I thank God for what Mary do Cause these thoughts in my head I can't bury em Telling myself lies Just how many times Does it take for my heart to break? Telling myself lies Just how many times Does it take for my wall to break? I don't know but How many times Can I get knocked down and get right back up again I stay down, and yet I'm still struggling Late night, up again asking How many times Can I pass my tray until I roll up again I moved forward, but now I feel stuck again Won't give up again, no but How many times Can I get knocked down and get right back up again I stay down, and yet I'm still struggling Late night, up again asking How many times Can I pass my tray until I roll up again I moved forward but now I feel stuck again Won't give up again, no but How many, how many, how many, how many, how many times Can I be met with disappointment and play it off like I'm alright? I do all I can just to try to keep all my emotions inside I say that I'm fine, but mostly I lie because of my pride I don't wanna be a burden To the people that's counting on me to make it Got a shot and they counting on me to take it I keep grinding because I can't be complacent I keep working cause I wanna be the greatest But I forget that I'm already him So whenever I fall or my back on the wall The chances I'll stay there are very slim Telling myself lies Just how many times Does it take for my heart to break? Telling myself lies Just how many times Does it take for my wall to break? How many times Can I get knocked down and get right back up again I stay down, and yet I'm still struggling Late night, up again asking How many times Can I pass my tray until I roll up again I moved forward, but now I feel stuck again Won't give up again, no but How many times Can I get knocked down and get right back up again I stay down, and yet I'm still struggling Late night, up again asking How many times Can I pass my tray until I roll up again I moved forward but now I feel stuck again Won't give up again, no but
