[Chorus: Young L3X]

I would never break because of hard times

The devil has no soul and he wants to get mines

I would never fall because of hard times

Even if I'm weak ima find a way to shine


[Verse One: Young L3X]

Trynna keep myself from going under

So, I wonder, rainy days I feel the thunder

All this hunger

Take you back when I was younger

Ambitious yea with many schemes

I might get a triple beam

I’m just trynna feel success

Before I get to feel my death

I been losing tolerance

The neighbors been up hollering

You been preaching hope

But the devils who you following

My city is a warzone

They shooting like its oracle

Maneuver to your spot

Then they shooting at your torso

Funerals they scare me

To death I won't be married

Ima stay with God

Til the day that I'm buried

Life ain’t no fairytale

I know my homies very well

Under pressure, under oath

I know my homies wouldn't tell

Let's go hit a lick, I just wanna feel rich

Lord forgive me for my sins

My patience running thin and I just wanna win

I just wanna win

Been losing to much please don't rub it in


[Chorus: Young L3X]

I would never break because of hard times

The devil has no soul and he wants to get mines

I would never fall because of hard times

Even if I'm weak ima find a way to shine

[Verse Two: Young L3X}

Last night I cried tears as I stared at the same wall

I been watching for years, now I'm facing my fears

Pacing back and forth; watching my peers

I been working hard, getting no cheers

You on the throne, then I'm taking your chair

Stressing things that I can't control

I should take a seat and watch it unfold

I should relax but I carry a load

So I shot and then I reload

Close calls been to close, the devils doing the most

That’s not the way to go

Your losing your soul, your losing yourself

The darkness gon grow

And as the darkness starts to creep

You wanna reach a higher place by going underneath

I been feeling so low, I don’t know where to go

I been losing myself, I been losing control

I just wanted to live, just wanted to win

Just wanted to rise, you see the pain in my eyes


[Chorus: Young L3X]

I would never break because of hard times

The devil has no soul and he wants to get mines

I would never fall because of hard times

Even if I'm weak ima find a way to shine
