Verse 1 -

You know that feeling when you at the ropes

Sense of losing hope lack control when its needed most

On the verge letting go

Grip loosens up minds still tries to hold

Electric pulse surges through your nerves all of time has froze

You look around is this the best way of going out

Is it to late for fighting now

Will they say that you did what counts

Or will they say you took the cowards route

With no chance to ever stand your ground

Like losers aren't allowed a mouth

Isn't that poetic every bit of good you've done

No longer gets the credit

All the leverage that you had becomes

Nothing but a joke but still inspiring to some

Yet you don't even notice

Care to much about what doubters in the crowd would want

Truth is that you shouldn't even bow to one

There karmas bound to come

Just when they think their powers at the highest sum

Lighting strikes them down circuits frying up

Life flashes through their eyes proves they got no right to judge

Hook -

When life tries to bring you down

Just know that you're powerful

Let nothing break you down

Stand up for yourself

Even if its getting rough

You can't let them take your ground now

Even when you think you're on your own

Just know that you're powerful

Let nothing break you down

Stand up for yourself

Even if its getting rough

You can't let them take your ground now

Verse 2 -

Hip-Hop has always been my outlet

If it wasn't for my mom who knows when i would of ever found it

It made me feel powerful but it also kept me grounded

Was able to be different around people i was surrounded by

Countless times I would cower cry

Absolutely broken deep down inside

Tired of the yelling raise the volume high

Just to get lost in the rhymes that devoured life

Getting away from reality

Teaching how me breathe

Showing me goals that ill achieve

Believed in me before I even started believing in me (you)

Helped guide me to be the person that i needed to be

First time I ever felt that I was finally free from the chains

Of my own restraints eventually built the strength

To stand up to my fears controlling every move id make

Yeah same reason why ill never lose my faith

Verse 3 -

We' re living in country meant to be united

But seems every day that we're growing more divided

Doesn't help when people claiming they care are always silent

Might not know everything but I rather go out trying

And say my piece even if it don't change a thing

You may or may not agree

Yet my faith in God gave me the faith in power of the people

Who are proud to speak

Standing for what you truly believe is right

Well turns out that means
