Back On Track

Looking into the mirror
I feel like I'm one of them superheroes
I feel like I've made it
I feel I'm on top
I'm no longer feeling depressed, sad or hollow
If I lost today
I'd be back tomorrow
I know defeat is a bitter pill to swallow
I'd fall like the sparrow
Today but tomorrow
I'll be back at it again, it's not a problem
Really
It's not a problem
If there's gon' be problems, I'll be sure to solve 'em
I'll be there to turn 'em
Into an advantage
I'm quite understanding
Won't go on a rampage
'Cause I done lost
A battle or something
Nah, I can take it
Believe me, it's nothing
I'm quite used to L's
So no one can stop me
From being mature, reasonable or otherwise
Trust me, I'm hella wise
Try me, it's your demise
(I've) Looked in the Devil's eyes
And was unfazed
Of course you could argue that it's just a phase
I'm fearless, relentless, I don't know my place
If I'm losing the race
I'd increase my pace
I'm not in a hurry, just wan' win the race
If you sue me, don't bother, I'm gon' win the case
Going religious and fasting for days
Of course that is cap
I do that when I rap
But it doesn't matter as long as it slaps
If the track hits hard
It can be ignored
Overlooked as rhyming with another word
They thought I was gone and ruled out my name
It was temporary, I'm back in the game
They shot at the ground, thought they made me lame
But my legs were bulletproof, I'm still the same
Looking into the mirror
I feel like I'm one of them superheroes
I feel like I've made it
I feel I'm on top
I'm no longer feeling depressed, sad or hollow
If I lost today
I'd be back tomorrow
I know defeat is a bitter pill to swallow
I'd fall like the sparrow
Today but tomorrow
I'll be back at it again, it's not a problem
They tried to keep me away
I'm back and I'm here to stay
They tried and they made me a trap
You've gotta know better than that
I'ma gon' play you like chess
Get you so confused, make you a mess
They tried and they made me drop
Like a spring, I bounce back to the top
B-oing
Onomatopoeia
Really thought they could crush all of my hopes
They're mad
In more ways than one
They came with swords whereas I came with a gun
Basically everything under the sun
Everything but me was against me then
Didn't have friends and did not try to blend
You've all heard this story a million times already
Sincerely, I'm sorry
Honestly not ready
It's not on me this time though, it's the theme
It's just my life, ain't got it on film
What're the odds?
The chances're slim
The chances that I'd get to talk about him
"Him" is S.A.L.T and S.A.L.T is me
The lyrics ain't random, I'm talking 'bout me
This is the life of S.A.L.T
It's what's on my mind that I be talking 'bout
What happens in my life that I be rapping 'bout
Nobody could take me out
If you doubt it, check it out
Check me off the checklist if you like
And then check around
I am the greatest 'cause I studied the greatest
Went on hiatus but right now the latest
I am what's popping
What's cracking and what's craving
I'm the best, ain't no debating
You're just losing if you're hating
Currently wearing the crown
It's not like I've not been down
That's the whole point of this song
I was down before but came back around
Worked on perfecting my sound
Laughed at me, called me a clown
Their smiles all turned into into frowns
While I had a frown that turned upsidedown
They tried to keep me away
I'm back and I'm here to stay
They tried and they made me a trap
You've gotta know better than that
I'ma gon' play you like chess
Get you so confused, make you a mess
They tried and they made me drop
Like a spring, I bounce back to the top
