I came out the womb and boom there I was
Just a pound and nine ounces man that’s all I was
You couldn’t hear a tear, and dad asked why
Mom was by my side tears flying down her eyes
I had to climb mountains and we hoped for the best
I couldn’t get that oxygen to pump out of my chest
I was in the hospital my first ninety-nine
The 100th day was when I saw the sunshine
Had a superman painting on my wall
That’s because I got up after everytime i’d fall
Took me 3 years to finally learn to crawl
Took me 5 years to finally walk at all
So take it all in because my parents aren’t grieving
Gotta take it all in every morning and evening
Take it all in all the blessings i’m receiving
Man I can’t believe i’m 18 and still breathing
Man I can’t believe i’m 18 and still breathing
Took all of the odds and I beat em all to pieces
Man I can’t believe i’m 18 and I’m succeeding
Took all of the odds and I beat em all to pieces
Man I can’t believe i’m 18 and still breathing
Took all of the odds and I beat em all to pieces
Man I can’t believe i’m 18 and I’m succeeding
Took all of the odds and I beat em all to pieces
The trauma wasn’t over there was even more to see
And ever since my birth i’ve had plenty of surgeries
I’ve had the same number as years i’ve been here
On this earth i’ve been fighting since birth
From broken legs to pneumonia tubes in my chest
And they all were a test I passed and i’m blessed
Never failed never quit never bailed i had grit And I was determined to never quit
Only clothes I could fit in were for toys
Couldn’t even cry, you wouldn’t hear a noise
All that you heard were the hospital tones
It was unknown if I was gonna go home
On the 100th day man we walked out of there
Finally I got to take a breath of fresh air
Took it all in, we just couldn’t believe it
We walked out of the hospital and I was still breathing
I want you to take away what i’m about to say
Don’t let the doubt stop you from following your dream
And even though everything isn’t what it seems
You can’t quit it now and don’t throw all of it away
As long as you stay determined you can do anything, believe me
Never did I quit after all of it and now i’m 18 years old and i’m still breathing
Man I can’t believe i’m 18 and still breathing
Took all of the odds and I beat em all to pieces
Man I can’t believe i’m 18 and I’m succeeding
Took all of the odds and I beat em all to pieces
Man I can’t believe i’m 18 and still breathing
Took all of the odds and I beat em all to pieces
Man I can’t believe i’m 18 and I’m succeeding
Took all of the odds and I beat em all to pieces
