Against The Odds

Rest in peace Cross, I will see you in the afterlife
So much pain, so much pain

Against all odds, I wont let myself fall
You got to get up, stand proud and tall
Don't go back to where it all began
Back then you was a boy but now you a man
Against all odds, I wont let myself fall
You got to get up, stand proud and tall
Don't go back to where it all began
Back then you was a boy but now you a man

I was at rock bottom, I had nothing to lose
The streets was my life, I had nothing to choose
I was facing the hardships, I had nothing to prove
I was feeling hopelessness, I had nothing to soothe
But I didn't give up, I didn't surrender
I didn't give in, I didn't splinter
I rose up, I climbed higher, I woke up, I became wiser
I changed up, my attire, I Spoke up, my voice mattered
I made the best of bad situations, I turned them into opportunities
I had to have patients, I turned them into possibilities
Like a signed free agent, I turned them into victories
Now lets have a celebration
The streets have a code but once that code is cracked
Are you free to go or are just gonna to go back
I didn't do it alone, I didn't do it by myself
I didn't do it for the fame, I didn't do it for the wealth
I did it with my crew, I did it with my family
I did it for the love, I did it for the legacy
I survived everything the world threw at me, I overcame the odds
Defied the laws, I earned the applause, I owe it all to God,
Now that's G.O.D but I didn't do it easy, I didn't do it smooth
I didn't do it lucky, I didn't do it cool
I did it with my sweat, I did it with my blood
I did it with my tears, I did it with my guts
I did it because I got balls, enough is enough
Dark clouds hover, like a storm in the mind
Lost in the shadows, it's hard to define
I'm in the maze of life, no map to follow
Every step's a gamble, every choice is hollow
The streets are my stage, and I'm spitting raw truth
The Media tells lies, I'll find my own proof
Like a boxer I swing not to miss, I'll persist
Metaphors in my veins, a lyricist's fist
They say it's darkest before the dawn
In the struggle, a fighter is reborn
I've been knocked down, but I stand tall
Against the odds, I won't let myself fall
Against the odds, I won't let myself fall
I said, Against the odds, I won't let myself fall

Against all odds, I wont let myself fall
You got to get up, stand proud and tall
Don't go back to where it all began
Back then you was a boy but now you a man
Against all odds, I wont let myself fall
You got to get up, stand proud and tall
Don't go back to where it all began
Back then you was a boy but now you a man
t now you a man
