Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some people have a picture perfect Childhood with a house up on a hill With a mom and dad to lean on when they need 'em And they know they always will But someone people have two stepdads They don't talk to by the time they turn fourteen So they go lookin' for a family Just to find out what a family really means [Chorus] You don't get to choose your flesh and blood How you were raised or where you're from Sometimes, the cards you're dealt ain't fair So you fold your hands to the man upstairs Whеn the weight He's puttin' on you's just too much You can choosе to let it break you down Or fight to turn your life around And find the strength inside to rise above [Verse 2] Sometimes, you turn to Uncle Sam To carve your path in a pair of combat boots With a band of brand new brothers Holdin' M4s for the old red, white, and blue Well, sometimes, you're on a rooftop post Where you see the world explode before your eyes When you hear a voice cut through the darkness Don't you waste it if you make it out alive [Chorus] You don't get to choose your flesh and blood How you were raised or where you're from Sometimes, the cards you're dealt ain't fair So you fold your hands to the man upstairs When the weight He's puttin' on you's just too much You can choose to let it break you down Or fight to turn your life around And find the strength inside to rise above [Chorus] You don't get to choose your flesh and blood How you were raised or where you're from Sometimes, the cards you're dealt ain't fair So you fold your hands to the man upstairs When the weight He's puttin' on you's just too much You can choose to let it break you down Or fight to turn your life around And find the strength inside to rise above And find the strength inside to rise above And find the strength inside to rise above
