[Chorus: Nate Vickers]

Tell me it was all in my head

Crawling, but I won't lose my grip

On this war that I'm waging, I can't beat the end

The shadows surround me, but I'll never them in

[Verse 1: Vin Jay]

Yeah, I'm back in the booth, feelin' relentless (Ooh)

I never left, just pivoting my direction (Go)

Or better yet, the path I was destined

But nevertheless, still the next best investment (Woo)

I know this life is a battle of will

I came up, got paid, but, I'm passionate still (Yeah)

Lift the game up once, now, I'm back for the kill

They drop lines that'll give your favorite rapper the chills, come on (Woo)

But, I don't do it for the gold medals or ribbons (No)

I do it for myself, and no, fed up with livin'

I won't settle for driven, my soul set on a misson (Yeah)

I done rose outta hell, and broke every limit

Tell 'em: "Just watch (watch)", I ain't takin' a rest

Got the next stop for me is a crib in the Red Rocks

A Prescott, just to get the homies a good spot (Woo)

To let 'em know the money and my soul have been wedlock (Woo)

'Cause in the past, I would get on beats

And rap with enough force to make a Jedi bleed

Had friends that were tellin' me - neglect my dreams

And I done turned into everything I said I'd be (Woo)

For the one who made rap, put the city on the map

The one who left home, got rich and came back (Ooh)

To them show them all that "Life is what you make it"

And every last dream's worth chasin', get on

[Chorus: Nate Vickers]

Tell me it was all in my head

Crawling, but I won't lose my grip

On this war that I'm waging, I can't beat the end

The shadows surround me, but I'll never them in

[Verse 2: Ekoh]

Yeah, I got a battle, I'm fighting and walk a fine line (fine line)

With good and evil, just hoping I'm on the right side (side)

I take a little time in my mind

You're gonna be begging me to leave and finish the game on the sidelines

I'm going sky high with thickest wings (Yeah)

I'm too close to the sun, at least I been in the heat (Yeah)

I'll never sleep on the ones who don't sleep

I won't leave any stone unturned, there's nothing that I won't grief

Fuckin' sick, and how I'm working the mission is to reach the top

But, when I was at the bottom, I listen (What?)

And made it through my evictions and death, I'm my only friend

You think that hatin' on these internet comments is really hitting? Shit

I should probably be dead more than once

Told that I would fall on my dreams, getting crushed

Build my whole career in my room from the dust

And your whole label team couldn't do what I done, uh

And since day one, living the truth

And anyone who ever doubt it, I just throw 'em the deuce

I pull the index down, I represent my town

Better than anyone, so, if you want to hate, fuck you (fuck you)

I run through, been living with the darkness in my thoughts

Thinkin' to get myself up out of the shadows, I need a spark

A rock bottom, I took two and bang them together

The light of fire in my stomach, I keep burning forever

[Chorus: Nate Vickers]

Tell me it was all in my head

Crawling, but I won't lose my grip

On this war that I'm waging, I can't beat the end

The shadows surround me, but I'll never them in
