[Hook : Ejatu]

Been thru it all

Mountains and valleys

Tired of these chains and these walls I just wanna be free

Been thru it all

Mountains and valleys

Tired of these chains and these walls I just wanna be free

Been thru it all

Mountains and valleys

Tired of these chains and these walls I just wanna be free

[Verse : TBJ]

Running thru my catalog

Reminisce on old dialogues

Back flipping off diving boards

Splash brothers with the canon ball

Always knew they couldn’t count him off

Numbers couldn’t be accounted for

Ran the gutters and the alley ways

From down down under now we outta space

Man it had to be that it was meant for me

Go getter till the death of me

Grew up on Luther Vandross

But the punchlines split a man jaws

Man I grew up and I grew tough

Tube socks and crew cuts

Fell in with the crowd still felt like I wasn’t good enough

[Hook : Ejatu]

Been thru it all

Mountains and valleys

Tired of these chains and these walls I just wanna be free

Been thru it all

Mountains and valleys

Tired of these chains and these walls I just wanna be free

[Verse : TBJ]

Innocent

Son of a immigrant

Was reaching my limits on pushing a civic so started to mimick the niggas who pivot a digit a minute

Cuz they had the fitted

They had the fame and the women

They had the drinks with the lemons

I had to figure

How to maneuver them quicker

Time they got rich I got richer

This was the game

But I wasn’t playing

Wanted everybody knowing my name

It was about the money power fame

Didn’t matter no matter how it came

I had the drive all I need was the range

I had these niggas moving out my lane

Now I’m just looking out my window pane

Behind these bars see me covered in chains

[Hook : Ejatu]

Been thru it all

Mountains and valleys

Tired of these chains and these walls I just wanna be free

Been thru it all

Mountains and valleys

Tired of these chains and these walls I just wanna be free

[Verse : TBJ]

It took eight years of my life

To figure out my life

To choose be battles I fight

To chew and swallow what I bite

Yeah oh lord what a life

The sound bite brought the lime light

Everybody that played me loose either move left or imma hang right

Yeah bang bang bang bang

My type don’t hang chains

My type got a end game

Don’t stop at the bling bling

Make my way thru the entrance

Down the lobby and up the elevator

Hate or love it

They goin wanna imitate it

Leaving prison in my Lincoln Navigator

[Hook : Ejatu]

Been thru it all

Mountains and valleys

Tired of these chains and these walls I just wanna be free

Been thru it all

Mountains and valleys

Tired of these chains and these walls I just wanna be free

[Outro]

It does something to you man when you reach deep

You tell your story and people relate you know what I mean

We all got our struggles we all got our own plight

We survivors out here man

Yeah

SL to USA to wherever else you stay

We overcomers man

Soldiers
