Broken but never beat.
Never taught to accept defeat.
I'll smash the world and beat this game.
Straight Forward in life.
Best believe I'm living up to the name.

By Myself

I can't depend on anyone else.
I'll get through life by myself.
When times are tough I'll harden up.
I won't rely on you to get me through.
If I sink it's all on me.
But my heart in this I know I can't be beat.
It doesn't fucking matter who's around.
I'll pick myself up off the ground.
Built to last. I'll survive.
You don't believe me that's just fine.
It's your opinion.
I understand but if you're still around fuck your helping hand.
I don't need it.
I don't want it.
Don't try and tell me how tough life can be like I don't know what the world holds in front of me.
I've never been afraid of the challenges in life I'll take what's coming to me and walk with my head high.
You think the world is at your feet.
I understand the world won't wait for me.
I gotta take when I can get it.
Fall short I won't let it happen to me.
My heart in this I can't be beat.

Stay Hungry
02:11
|

|
Day after day. I'm at it again.
Forever hungry until the end.
Never stopping until I get what's mine.
Always more effort than just to get by.
When I get home.
The greatest thing is a beautiful family that can't wait to see me.
The reason I put so much into this.
Always wanting more from this life I live.
Sleepless nights.
Im working for better than the nine to five.
Following what's in my heart and staying true from the start.
To my beliefs and finish chasing my dreams.
Taking from this world all I need.
When I wake and can't face the day.
I think of what this struggle means to me.
I won't let this weigh down on my family.
No matter what. I stand tall.
Forever fighting against the odds.
This is my only life to live.
The never ending story of the underdog.
These days aren't easy.
I still get by.
I gotta make the best out of my life.
Gotta get it like I need it till the end of my time.
Forever in this game until I get what's mine.

Straight Forward
03:04
|
|||
|
Life never worked out for me but I always made the best out of it.
Odds stacked against me, times were hard but best believe I never quit.
Always seen the truth for what it is.
Not make believe in my mind.
Staying true to what I know is right always moving straight forward in life.
Life isn't always black and white.
In the nitty and gritty you gotta hustle to survive.
In the hardest times when the world is so cold it's a struggle just to stay alive.
I've always known I can take the heat but life still does its best to knock me down.
But I stay strong in my mind and do my best to turn it around.
Understand these aren't just words to me.
I've really felt the pain this world can bring. Through the hard times I believe in myself I believe in what I speak. These words are easier said than done best believe I know this is true. But when your world has been broken and your back is against the wall mother fucker what will you do?
What will you do?
Pick yourself up.
Stand on your own feet.
Never doubt the power of self belief.
No matter the trouble.
Forever strong in my mind.
I won't be broken moving straight forward in life.
