Blue Collar Soldier

These tears fall down, I'm going to wash me away

There were no steps so I built 'em, a carpenter of sorts
I took my hammer and my nails and I built up my supports
I spoke the truth and built an empire and stayed on the course
I never lied to make an impression, I stay true to my roots
Now my boots are laced up and I'm ready for war
A blue collar fuckin' soldier like I been from the start
See our lives are all the same, hard work will get you through it
Too many people complain instead of speakin' truth
Now I'm back at it again, emotions in the booth
Another song, another album, reflections of my youth
Don't let 'em tell you that you can't, allow me to be your proof
If you can dream it you can build it, homie, that's on you
Don't question where you stand if you're standin' on your own
You are the keeper of your mind and the protector of your throne
You gotta fight for what is yours and what is yours you gotta own
Cause if you neglect it for a second then you'll reap what you sow

Starin' out the window, tryin' to find my soul
These tears gon' fall like raindrops, from me
When I give everything I can be tonight
My life, I'm gonna let them wash me away
These tears gon' fall like raindrops, I'll give everything I got

I never stopped to look at life, the reflection in my mirror
Showed me all that I can handle, I been thinkin' for a minute
I can hardly breathe and I don't know if I can handle status quo
And all this pressure buildin' it's like mining in a diamond hole
It's the way of my foundation, I'm runnin' outta patience
And all our conversations are, killin' motivation
But I'm finally on my feet and I can finally fuckin' speak
And stand for those who all are weak
I look around and I am built for this
They aint make no fuckin' pill for this
And I'm fuckin' pissed that my people hurt
Broken down and I'm sick of it
Consider it a little bit of a personal vendetta
Just tryin' to build a foundation as you open up my letters
These words are something serious
I guess they're like a heart attack
So cardiac we'll name it that
Some of you can understand all of that
And I'll follow back if you follow me
When I jot my lines in this diary
With the blood from all of my arteries
And the salt from my eyes watering

Starin' out the window, tryin' to find my soul
These tears gon' fall like raindrops, from me
When I give everything I can be tonight
My life, I'm gonna let them wash me away
These tears gon' fall like raindrops, I'll give everything I got

These tears fall down
These tears fall down
Tears fall down
