Pride

Walking towards my death this a passionate march
I know I gotta watch my step cant see the path in the dark
Swerving in and out the lane I might have to just park
But I don't lay up on my ass I know I have to restart
The pain of my past, led to me not having a heart
Now skin tin iron man I guess I have to be stark
It's hard to make a splash like Noah when you trapped in the arc
I wonder if he pondered jumping over to have a laugh with the sharks
Spinning in waves, bathing in a venomous rage
No more marching now I'm swimming towards the end of my days
Hard to dismember the cage when you timid afraid
I'm tryna tackle all my fears in a definitive way
Been in a haze, tryna turn all my lemons to lemonade
And minutes to Minute Maid, for strength to invigorate
Wish I was working in the shade, sun tends to denigrate
I got use to all these chains from past lives cause I been a slave

Hurdles in my path I don't worry keep moving forward
I just gotta keep my mind on the glory I'm moving towards
And even though it rains and pours I don't stop no I keep the course
Even though my breathing coarse and my feet got blisters and sores
Mama passed it and I catched it cant get rid of the torch
Tryna muster all my strength I think her kiss was the source
I'll channel all this passion to the tip of my sword
Cause it wont turn into a dragon if the lizard don't roar

All the the flesh up on my back is looking bandaged and torn
When my limbs bend they be aching cause they damaged and worn
But the blood and all the blisters on the ancestors palms
They helped to teach ya boy the rhythm to the dance and the song
Telling me not to give up cause this your chance to be strong
When you never panicking through harm is when the champions born
Tryna keep my spirits high not in a damaging form
Cause the low ground is gone get you cut as if you Anakin's arms
Gotta be next, new level like the top of the steps,
Tryna go high as I can possibly get, then keep it going
Tryna earns some godly respect as I'm boxing with death
Stick move and dodging the threats learn to watch for the left
I gotta survive no better yet I gotta just thrive
I don't believe the only option is work hard and then die
No sir I'm tryna run on water and then walk in the sky
I really believe that it is possible thats probably my pride
