|
At first no one believed that I could achieve |
|
Goals I had set, hopes, dreams |
|
Had no respect for my own team |
|
So much pressure, felt like I couldn't breathe and |
|
{*Chokes*} ...Relieved |
|
When I shook all the doubts and decided to proceed |
|
Yes men, girlfriends, I don't need |
|
Set my own pace, move at my own speed |
|
Pushed on, did it by myself |
|
No matter you say, ain't none of y'all helped |
|
No matter what you think, I was standing on the brink |
|
Gun in my hand, standing by the sink |
|
Something inside wouldn't let me sink |
|
Had a few drinks, saw a few shrinks |
|
Been to the groups, I been on the meds |
|
And this is for my people that's living on the edge |
|
[Chorus] |
|
You gotta put both feet on the ground, then you push |
|
Can't let life beat you down, you gotta push |
|
Don't look back when you fall, you gotta push |
|
Soon as your back hit the wall, you gotta push |
|
You gotta push it along, push it along |
|
Push it along, yeah push it along |
|
Push it along, push it along |
|
Push it along, yeah push it along |
|
[Murs] |
|
Move toward your blessings |
|
Everything in life should be a forward progression |
|
Don't stop, it's more than a session |
|
Don't let obstacles become obsessions |
|
Look beyond 'em, look past 'em |
|
Look at 'em as something to do while time's passing |
|
It keeps moving, like it or not |
|
This life that you live's the only life that you got |
|
Tomorrow's not promised, I can promise you that |
|
Skip the fiction, get on with the facts |
|
You live, you die, you laugh, you cry |
|
No answers to the questions, quit asking why |
|
Live the present, the past is the past |
|
The future all depends on the moves you made last |
|
And you should have no regrets |
|
When the walls close in and life puts you to the test |
|
[Chorus] |
|
[Murs] |
|
I got God and the Devil got gone |
|
The dark side is not that strong |
|
Put it all in perspective, the prime directive |
|
You must give respect to get respected |
|
Treat others how you wish to be treated |
|
You give what you get and the cycle is completed |
|
They retreated, left my boy for dead |
|
He held his head, kept positive instead |
|
A hate, he pushed that love |
|
Praying one day that we all blow up |
|
So what? Different paths, different men |
|
Hoping that we all get together, laugh in the end |
|
Cause friends is friends and time will change |
|
It takes a lot of strength to survive the game |
|
Cause if you win, you win, it's all the same |
|
We can't get lost in the lights and fame |
