Fawn's Son (Can't Back Down)

I treat life like a vicious fight
My right strong but my left can bite
I gotta stay above all the hype and clout
Before I'm wild'n out, give you Nick at Nite
Most y'all niggas think that shit's a'ight
Think your hits are hot fire but your shit won't light
Here's the biggest spark since Jay-Z
Vocals going brazy, kill it HazyBaby

Okay
Since a young'n I've been gifted
I ain't new to this so please don't get it twisted
Been bout this shit since junior high
My classmates never understood the vision
Ten years later, I got everybody listening
I've been reminiscing
About the time when I told my mom I've been writing music
She said "I knew it was in you, Victor don't ever lose it
The greatest out of your city, one day you might just prove it
Already naturally poetic, just add a mic into it"
I was surprised to receive the praise
But I kept my head in the books
It's required to feed the brain
And Mom was on my ass and my focus was on my grades
Still I wrote a rhyme every night
Brought it back to school everyday
Like it's homework
Some thought it was absurd
This was back when everything I wrote had no cuss words
Back when criticism from the friends that I trust hurt
Now I got your attention so I'm guessing you must heard
I been killing shit nigga

And I ain't taking a vacation
I was feeling low but I made it out the basement
Real life, no fake shit, I gotta make a statement
I can't give up right now when I'm so close, no
Dreams of screaming fans and taking photos
Ducking paparazzi on the low-low
I cannot back down, no that's a no no
I cannot back down, no that's a no no no

Confessions of a dreamer
Before others believe, you gotta be the first believer
And you won't make it far in life as an underachiever
Swallow pride and fight those demons
Covered in the blood of Jesus
Ain't no saint, I ain't no preacher
But I... call on the Spirit
How I'm speaking the truth
They sing praise when I bring heat to the booth
Like Hallelujah
I got some niggas plotting
They copy how I maneuver
But this ain't the type of skill you can copy from a computer, nah
It's wild what you niggas do for the clout
My mom taught me how to lead
And never follow the crowd
And I always kept to myself
But now I'm saying it loud
A nigga had a heart full of fear and a mind full of doubt
I had to...
See my potential and change my perspective
In this music shit, I'm greatly invested
It's what I'm destined
No escaping this blessing
Breaking these records, no making exceptions
Aiming for the first place
I ain't making it second... nigga

And I ain't taking a vacation
I was feeling low but I made it out the basement
Real life, no fake shit, I gotta make a statement
I can't give up right now when I'm so close, no
Dreams of screaming fans and taking photos
Ducking paparazzi on the low-low
I cannot back down, no that's a no no
I cannot back down, yeah that's a no no no

Confessions of a dreamer
Before others believe
You gotta be the first believer
And you won't make it far in life as an underachiever
Swallow pride and fight those demons
Covered in the blood of Jesus
Ain't no saint, I ain't no preacher, nigga
