Looking Inside

Everything I've seen
Everything I've done
Everything I came through
Might have fooled me once
But the second time around
You ain't dealing with the same fool
I learned from the bad
I cherished the good
I harnessed the painful
I stayed on the path
I followed the truth
And now I see everything as it is
I know this world ain't all positive
And that's a fact that I gotta accept if I wanna progress
Life ain't gon' always be what I expect
The hand I was dealt is the hand that I played
I ain't beg for no one to reshuffle the deck
Did what I could with the things that I had
Then I gave all I had til I had nothing left
And I got no regrets
Cause I'm better for it
And I'm moving forward
Nothing left on the table
I earned my respect
No guarantees that you get what you give
All I can do is just live how I live
Cause I am who I am
And it is what it is

And I can't be sad no more
I done seen too much
It don't hurt that bad no more
Came too far on this road, learned a lot from the past
But I can't look back no more
So I'm looking inside
Not even sure what I'm looking to find
Hoping the truth is not something to hide
And I can't be mad no more
I done felt so much
I just can't hold back no more
Had a lot of pain in this life
So I'm done with the strife
I don't need all that no more
So I'm looking inside
Not even sure what I'm looking to find
Hoping the truth is not something to hide

My struggles
My life
No circum-
Stance I
Can't conquer
Stand stronger
Eyes open
Head high
Move forward
Press onward
Go further
Take strides
We fall but
We rise
Keep looking
Inside
My struggles
My life
No circum-
Stance I
Can't conquer
Stand stronger
Eyes open
Head high
Move forward
Press onward
Go further
Take strides
We fall but
We rise
Keep looking
Inside
Keep looking inside
Keep looking

And I can't be sad no more
I done seen too much
It don't hurt that bad no more
Came too far on this road, learned a lot from the past
But I can't look back no more
So I'm looking inside
Not even sure what I'm looking to find
Hoping the truth is not something to hide
And I can't be mad no more
I done felt so much
I just can't hold back no more
Had a lot of pain in this life
So I'm done with the strife
I don't need all that no more
So I'm looking inside
Not even sure what I'm looking to find
Hoping the truth is not something to hide
