[Verse 1]

I'm starting to see clearer then I ever have

Bipolar, tell me which one is my better half

Eyes colder 'cause I slipped up on my better path

My shoulders is so chipped I almost never laugh

You can hear my revving raps

Sounding like the engine of a 747 crash

Back out the trash, I was never more but shredding ash

Now I'm feeling sharper than a heavy ass machete slash

Give me lip, cut your head in half, you won't get it back

Had some dead weight on my back, I got rid of that

Got my head straight and left the flask in my livid past

And I ain't bitter of a quitter but consider that I lost a few wings

I'm trying to do things to get it back

'Cause life isn't all roses and daffodils

Especially when you rose from

The bullet holes and smashed up pills

Made it out alive but pissed away a half a mil

Trying to keep a smile, I'm having a hard time laughing still

[Hook x2] Rite Hook

I seem to keep this smile

While they keep looking down on me

Knocked down, I get up, this is how to be

Knocked down, I get up, this is how to be

Knocked down, I get up, this is how to be

[Verse 2]

Back with a ton of fire, allow me to run it by ya

The stunning ire and the anger of a cunning liar

Each thought rapidly popped, like a gun is fired

So am I son of Sam or damn it am I some messiah?

It's hunger, fire, pain and anger in a jambalaya

But they don't want to see ya cooking, they just want to fry ya

So for a minute I felt tired and uninspired

It's not long before regrets come running by ya

My stomach tied up in knots, I write up a blots

And sides of them plop with thoughts that I have outfoxed

Too many things to get here than just retire and watch

Started feeling like a fighter that's still dying to box

So until the day I die in a box

I'mma persevere through everything and anything

I know that it hurts to hear, but I ain't going nowhere

I'm just all set up to win

Then even when I get knocked down

I know that I'll get up again

[Hook x2] Rite Hook

I seem to keep this smile

While they keep looking down on me

Knocked down, I get up, this is how to be

Knocked down, I get up, this is how to be

Knocked down, I get up, this is how to be
