KEEPIN’ IT 100

Say you see me, but clearly you’re blind

I’ve been looking for a little peace of mind

When can I get some room to breathe?

Quit asking everybody else to see what I need

If I have a bad day, then you had one too

Funny how the whole damn world revolves around you

I’ve been carrying your weight like it was mine

While I’m trying to build a life one day at a time

I’m chasing that dream, trying to build me a home

Making something out of nothing, out here on my own

Love these back roads, where the headlights disappear

Where the only thing I hear is that engine and my gears

I’m really in it, this ain’t no gimmick

I built this hustle when I was locked in prison

I came out different, came out driven

And I damn sure ain’t gonna die a victim

I’ve been at the bottom, I’ve had the most

I’ve been lost as hell, still found my road

You can call me crazy, you can call me stubborn

But I ain’t gonna quit just because life gets tougher

I went forgotten, thought I was the problem

So I quit all the talking and started walking

Now I keep my circle small and my head held high

Got a little dirt on my boots and a fire in my eyes

This life ain’t easy, baby, believe me

You can try to break me, but you won’t defeat me

I’ve been through hell and I’m still standing tall

You can throw your worst at me—

I’ll take it all

I got a tattoo machine and a dream in my hand

Trying to make a living doing what I love again

Ain’t nobody gave me shit, I earned every scar

Had to lose damn near everything to find out who you are

I know what it’s like when the money gets tight

When you stare at the ceiling in the middle of the night

Wondering if tomorrow’s finally gonna turn around

But I learned how to build when the walls came down

So fuck the critics, let ’em talk if they wanna

I’ve been called a lot worse by people I thought loved me

My circle got smaller, but my vision got bigger

And every damn setback just made me a little more bitter

I’ve been humble while I stumble

Still I’m better than most

Keep it composed while the haters toast

I keep my enemies close

You gave me the rope and you hung it

If you can think it, hell, I’ve done it

I’ve been down to nothing and still came back

That’s just the way I’m built—

I don’t know how to quit

I’ve been at the bottom, I’ve had the most

I’ve been lost as hell, still found my road

You can call me crazy, you can call me stubborn

But I ain’t gonna quit just because life gets tougher

I went forgotten, thought I was the problem

So I quit all the talking and started walking

Now I keep my circle small and my head held high

Got a little dirt on my boots and a fire in my eyes

This life ain’t easy, baby, believe me

You can try to break me, but you won’t defeat me

I’ve been through hell and I’m still standing tall

You can throw your worst at me—

I’ll take it all

I lost some years just trying to find myself

Lost some people I thought would always
