The Power of You

Die on your feet
Live on your knees
What will you choose when they come for you
Wave your hand at the sea
The power's inside of you

I know life getting hard but keep your head up
We caught up in this rat race, strictly chasing the cheddar
The bad times last for a while, the good; forever
Growing up thinking adults were perfect, I knew no better
I seen stand up people that fold due to the pressure
And hearts made of Diamond turn coal due to depression
I need some peace of mind, I treat my time like a blessing
Energy redesigned by the losses we treat as lessons
Working this nine to five tryna escape the trap
Of still working til ninety five
Too much stressing is how we die
I'm tryna stay alive, emotionally and mentally
Money can't buy no happiness honestly is a lie
We laugh when we broke, that's a way to keep from crying
Gotta be rich in spirit cuz poverty keeps us dying
Talking to God, I'm asking for strength and realignment
Told me it's in your heart, I move different upon realizing

Die on your feet
Live on your knees
What will you choose when they come for you
Wave your hand at the sea
The power's inside of you

My inner peace is a priority
Tryna create what this life has never afforded me
Chess game of reality moving pieces accordingly
Learning how to check mates who think they'll easily corner me
A lot people desert me but that can wait
Let me finish what's on my plate
Before I speak on the fake
Always step out on faith, this path I walk it religiously
Sorting out the things that's undeserving of my energy
Battle scars on my heart cuz I fought hard
In any situation I come out top dawg
As long as I see the sun and the stars, all's not lost
Sacrificing a little for more, its no cost
Life is a blank canvas I'm coloring in, step back to witness the bigger picture
I'm turning my lens
Focused, some bogus friends tried to tell me I'm never gon win
Would love to see their faces, now reality's setting in

Die on your feet
Live on your knees
What will you choose when they come for you
Wave your hand at the sea
The power's inside of you
There's a hero inside of me
There's a hero inside of you
It's time to make the world believe
There's a hero coming through
