[Verse 1]

Took a lap through my hometown, knowin' what I know now

Turns out you never really know what's up till it really goes down

Thinking about love I lost, finish lines I crossed

I'ma back deck with a mind full of thoughts and a drink on the rocks

Everything that made me here

Remember thinking 'bout a whole lot of maybes here

Month after month, song after song, hopin' maybe this will be my year

But it all came together in the end

Thought it was a phase, then I turned it to a trend

Look at how I made beginnings off a couple different ends

These eyes seen a lot; I'm lookin' through a different lens

Moved to the city to do what I gotta do

Haven't stopped for a second, I've been steady makin' moves

Thought about what I'd say to a younger I

Say "She ain't worth the time, but she'll be worth the lines," singin'

[Chorus]

Life is a battlefield, you don't have to cry (No, no, no)

Just keep your head up, the sun is drying your eyes (No, no, no)

Life is a battlefield, you don't have to cry (No, no, no)

Just keep your head up, the sun is drying your eyes

[Verse 2]

This a new day; this a brand new life

You ain't gotta ask how we did so right

Crack a brew, take a shot to a brand new vibe

Used to see rough roads; it's a brand new ride

Same old kid with a soul so lit

That the whole damn world couldn't sleep on it

Present so present

Living like a adolescent

But times I've seen had to add a couple lessons

Feelin' like a veteran when I hit the mic now (Now)

You ain't gonna get it if you don't by now (Nah)

Flex on anybody looking for the competition

Talk about another style, chance's I already did it

Your game ain't real, like you busy playing quidditch

You ain't with it, you in scrimmage; you ain't really makin' killin's

Send it to the last innin'

Are you down to run the play?

Tell anybody throwing shade, "The sun is on the way!"

[Chorus]

Life is a battlefield, you don't have to cry (No, no, no)

Just keep your head up, the sun is drying your eyes (No, no, no)

Life is a battlefield, you don't have to cry (No, no, no)

Just keep your head up, the sun is drying your eyes
