[Intro: Locksmith]
Yeah, no matter what the world throws your way, just remember. You got this
[Chorus: Ekoh]
Ay, got a couple bands, I don't need you, Bitch (I don't need you bitch) (Flinch)
Ay, I been thrown into the flames, I don't even flinch (even flinch)
And if you think I'm scared to fall (Scared to fall)
From the bottom's where I'm from
You must not know me at all, yeah (You must not know me at all)
On the top, I look around, I don't see you, Bitch (I don't see you bitch)
Do your best to knock me down
I won't even flinch (Flinch)
And if you think I'm scared to fall (Scared to fall)
From the bottom's where I'm from
You must not know me at all, yeah
[Verse 1: Locksmith]
Yeah, Look at what I been through (Look!)
Take a closer peek, and focus deep and hope to reach the same heights I was meant to (Mеant)
When there's no mystiquе, and no retreat and no one left for you to speak
Where to vent to?
So you blamed yourself, and play it stealth and stay in your shell (What?)
Voices inside, they determined you'd fail (Ugh)
All while you stuck in this personal hell (C'mon!)
Numerous chances and constant advances (Woo!)
I got to the finish and thought I had made it (What?)
Just to be told it was further to go, to keep movin'
The bullshit is so complicated (Damn)
More than a decade, my mother had passed
Seemed like forever, the heart it could last (Last)
Never took time when I needed to grieve
And I needed distraction to keep me from leavin' (Woo!)
I'ma keep it positive
Every step is a operative (Woo!)
Every little misstep
A mistake, holdin' us hostages (Yeah!)
Never played the victim of victim when they depict 'em of anything, other than the strength I was born with
Never gave in to a forfeit
Even when broke, I was poor as shit
If I had to recoup, then I had to regroup
When I did, bounced back, I was more pissed
[Pre-Chorus: Locksmith]
From the project, section it, investigate
My fam got extra hate
Half black, I was told to suppress my fate
If you show weakness, it's extra bait (Yeah)
They takin' mine from a inch
Either you whip me, don't stride with defense
Been through the battle, gon' shatter the trench
Been through it all and I'm never gon' flinch!
[Chorus: Ekoh]
Ay, got a couple bands, I don't need you, Bitch (I don't need you bitch)
Ay, I been thrown into the flames, I don't even flinch (even flinch)
And if you think I'm scared to fall (Scared to fall)
From the bottom's where I'm from
You must not know me at all, yeah (You must not know me at all)
On the top, I look around, I don't see you, Bitch (I don't see you bitch)
Do your best to knock me down
I won't even flinch (Flinch)
And if you think I'm scared to fall (Scared to fall)
From the bottom's where I'm from
You must not know me at all, yeah
[Verse 2: Ekoh]
Yeah. probably would've gave up
But I already gave away everything that I love, tryna make some (Woo!)
Whatcha gonna do now? (Now)
I've been broke from the heart, to the soul, to the cash, and the council
It's not really gonna hurt much
When the rain now left in the tank by the fumes from the burnt love
Homies wanna turn up
Look who never turned up
Got a couple things that I learned, now (Ay)
Only roll solo to the bank (Woo!)
A few friends don't even know where I stay (Huh)
Got the blue checks hidden down below tryna hang
Tryna give me all that vision
But I know, play it safe
'Cause I been in it
'Bouta make it better
Thought I would never live
Believin' the people tryna tell me what I would never be
That energy eventually almost became the enemy
But fuck it, I will never be the quitter to my enemies
Went to detox and the rehab
Best friend got killed from his keys, then
Step-dad died further from a drink
And I had my heart broke on a verge of a relapse
Gotta leave that blood, sweat, and tears
On a page, 'cause that's all I got to give
You could hate on me but could never make it through all the shit I did
[Pre-Chorus: Ekoh]
Fire in the sky
Y'all don't wanna die
I got pieces that die all the time
Been to hell and back, kept the win intact
Never let you fucks knock me outta line
Homie disagrees, I ain't scared of shit
When he stood to lose, all you got and did
Then you're really free, only gettin' wins
Bring the best you got, I won't even flinch
[Outro: Ekoh]
Ay, got a couple bands, I don't need you, Bitch (I don't need you bitch)
Ay, I been thrown into the flames, I don't even flinch (even flinch)
And if you think I'm scared to fall (Scared to fall)
From the bottom's where I'm from
You must not know me at all, yeah (You must not know me at all)
On the top, I look around, I don't see you, Bitch (I don't see you bitch)
Do your best to knock me down
I won't even flinch (Flinch)
And if you think I'm scared to fall (Scared to fall)
From the bottom's where I'm from
You must not know me at all, yeah (Must not know me at all)
