[Hook: Invincible]

(I keep goin')

Even when I wanna stop

(I keep goin')

Even when I wanna stop

Is it the release of the anger that makes me murder the tracks?

(I keep goin')

Or the silent majority turning their backs?

Is it the passion or the love or the drive or the faith?

Is it the knowledge that our lives are at stake?

Is it preparing for the moment when opportunity knocks?

(I keep goin')

Even when I wanna stop


[Verse 1: Invincible]

To all the haters and biters

You motivate us in ciphers

My flows and cadence relayed it to notebooks paper papyrus

Been on tour with bronchitis, laryngitis

Every night, I rock despite it

Some of these cats acting like they wearing diapers

And I keep, keep on – even when my hand tires

No labels or vampires

No funders or grantwriters

Inspired by freedom fighters

Before us and coming after us

For the present survivors of human massacres–

If you "considered suicide when rainbows were not enough"

And bank rolls were clotted up

It's painful I brought it up

The truth gotta come out, from different angles, it's bottled up

Serve it with a ladle, from the cradle 'til my body's dust

Nothin' else synonymous to the feeling I get from demanding respect

And knowing that I'm earning all my papes

(I keep goin')

Stay persistent, you determining your faith

(I keep goin')

Always changing, 'cause I learn from my mistakes

(I keep goin')

[Hook: Invincible, Wordsworth]

(I keep goin')

Even when I wanna stop

(I keep goin')

Even when I wanna stop

Is it the release of the anger that makes me murder the tracks?

Or the silent majority turning their backs?

Is it the passion or the love or the drive or the faith?

(I keep goin')

Is it the knowledge that our lives are at stake?

Is it that bangin' Hip-Hop shit when you turn it up a notch?

(I keep goin')

Even when I wanna stop!


[Verse 2: Wordsworth]

Up mornings and nights, with gas soaring in price

Got two daughters and wife; need food, water, and lights

Can't be on corners with dice, unsure of a bite

Needing two quarters for rice, a dollar short of a slice

The recordings I write got me boarding a flight

To somewhere foreign with sights I never saw in my life

The allure, loud roars, online orders, and hype

You gotta close doors and windows, inside with the snipes

Shaking hands and flattery, fans on my battery

Some pissed, some mad at me

Many that listen happily

Overseas tours, boarding, camcorders catch me

Know I have a purpose, somehow people react to me

Artists that want me to feature that's saving cash for me

Producers that be waiting for payments that's saving tracks for me

Constantly I kill it, you agree that I'm the illest

'Cause I've acquired what skill is, you've seen that I fulfill it

Keep goin'

[Hook: Invincible, Indeed]

Even when I wanna stop

(I keep goin')

Even when I wanna stop

Is it the release of the anger that makes me murder the tracks?

(I keep goin')

Or the silent majority turning their backs?

Is it the passion or the love or the drive or the faith?

(I keep goin')

Is it the knowledge that our lives are at stake?

Is it that bangin' Hip-Hop shit when you turn it up a notch?

(I keep goin')

Even when I could've stopped..!


[Verse 3: Indeed]

I jumped on the 33, hit the I-90

At the 390, I left that bullshit behind me

Reached up and pulled my rearview off like Aknell

Out like I was locked down and a nigga just got bail

Like I was hospitalized and a chick just got well

My only plans now are to follow my dreams

At the East 17, I felt a black cloud looking

I relaxed in my seat like I was smoking a spliff

U-Hauling it, pulling my shit behind me

Like 128th and St. Nick is where you'll find me

'Cause Upstate, rest of New York is too grimy

And I'm never going back, like Fleetwood Mac

Like a known Special Ed over my deep track

From the 81, 380, 80, tunnel to the bridge

I watched the eyes light up on the face of my kids

I stepped out, in disbelief of what we finally did

I kept goin'
