Stand tall

Verse 1:

I'm from the bottom, where the cold winds blow,

Had to hustle for the paper just to let it flow.

Every step I take, I’m dodging all these low blows,

But I keep it moving, watch the way the money grows.

Trust is thin, loyalty’s even thinner,

All these snakes in the grass, they ain’t real winners.

Had to rise up, can’t be no beginner,

Kept my head high, now I’m counting up the sinners.

Chorus:

They told me I’d fall, but I’m standing tall,

Never begged for mercy, I’m here to ball.

Thou shall never see me break, that’s a fact,

Through the struggle and the pain, I stay intact.

Verse 2:

Grew up in the streets, learned the code of survival,

Made a plan, now I’m grinding, that’s my rival.

No handouts, I had to be my own idol,

Through the wars, through the scars, man, it’s all tribal.

Watch the throne, I’m aiming for the top spot,

Kept my circle tight, never gave the opps a shot.

They don’t know the battles that I fought,

But I’m here now, and I’ll never be caught.

Chorus:

They told me I’d fall, but I’m standing tall,

Never begged for mercy, I’m here to ball.

Thou shall never see me break, that’s a fact,

Through the struggle and the pain, I stay intact.

Bridge:

You can hate, you can plot, but it won’t phase me,

I’m built from the struggle, it’s what made me.

One step closer to the crown, I’m a king,

All the pain that I felt, man, it don’t sting.

Chorus (Repeat):

They told me I’d fall, but I’m standing tall,

Never begged for mercy, I’m here to ball.

Thou shall never see me break, that’s a fact,

Through the struggle and the pain, I stay intact.
