Lyrics

[INTRO][MOTHER'S VOICEMAIL] Beautiful day, son It's mom Didn't want anything just called to say I'm proud of you and how far you've come And everything you've overcome I know it hasn't been easy, but keep going And keep fighting for the things you still want to achieve I love you Talk to you soon [VERSE][KENNEDY RYON] Since I was a young child The dreams that I had seemed so profound I was always told they were out of reach By those who never felt complete Carried others weight on my shoulder But I put it down once I got older I only needed to hear one thing Instead of being told who to be There will bе moments where doubts will consumе you Every time that they do let them prune you There were many wars I had to fight for this There were many times I had to find my strength [VERSE][LEW SID] Yeah, coming into this life we live in, we didn't know It was only gonna get harder the more we live and grow It's a cold world outside without seeing snow Especially on the block where they passing rock for the give and go Staying positive ain't a lock when you living broke Wrong route leads you to cops You end up locked in a box From ignoring all of that knowledge leaving your mama throat Whole life locked in that drama needing some kind of hope Back when all that mattered was us Responsibilities was only wake up hop on that bus To that facility where bullies made you pass them your lunch Was either that or keep your guard high Balance your punch It's more deeper now the conflict is lust against trust Emotional rust Drinking till your liver is crushed Mind bottled up with problems that you never discuss Sometimes you gotta take a few steps back and adjust But keep fighting, you must [Chorus][KENNEDY RYON] But I'm breathing I'm still hoping Many nights when my eyes were wide open There were many wars I had to fight for this There were many times I had to find my strength [VERSE][LEW SID] Yeah, the art of persevering, I'm steering my own ship Life's a movie, I ain't viewing, I'm showing my own clips How you add the colors, is really being authentic Not saying it cause it's popping, but saying it cause you meant it Harnessing all your energy, finding your own identity Living in your reality, not the one you pretend to see Talk about it, be expressive, stay connected With the ones around you Skip likeness, be respected You're falling out with people you thought would speak at your funeral Draw a line through them like counting in Roman numerals Keep it pushing, wish them well, no need to slander Cause karma is a B if you met her, you understand her I'm preaching like I'm Wallo and praying that you can follow Cause I know the pain that come when you hurting and feeling hollow If no struggle, ain't no story, and that's the motto The art of persevering, I'm like the modern Picasso [OUTRO][LEW SID] Yeah And every day I'm still fighting For my loved ones, for my friends For you It's never ending Lew
