Living this life like a soldier Gotta fight for my shit everyday, I done told ya But my life is like a roller coaster I could feel so up, but I get let down But I gotta pick myself up off the ground Gotta keep going, flow with the motions But it feels like my minds exploding All these expectations that I put on myself Makes it hard for me to ask somebody for help So I just keep the pain bottled on a shelf Until the day I snap and everything goes to hell I'm just trying to make it But all this shit, I can't take it Guess I'll just have to fake it Learned my lesson from the pain I'll never be the same I gotta maintain Yeah, Im just tryna make it But all this shit, I can't take it Guess I'll just have to fake it Learned my lesson from the pain I'll never be the same I gotta mantain Feel that energy rise It's my time to shine So I'm gonna survive Make it through this fucking fight Make it through my fucking life I don't want no 9 to 5 I wanna have fun til the days done Only stop with the risin sun But I can't do that if I waste my time So I'mma write a couple rhymes Start working towards my dreams I know one day, they're something I'm gonna achieve Maybe not right now But it's fine, I got the patience I know I got what it takes And maybe my styles not like mainstream But that's just me If you don't like it, that's fine But Imma keep writing these rhymes Cause it's my time And I just gotta I'm just trying to make it But all this shit, I can't take it Guess I'll just have to fake it Learned my lesson from the pain I'll never be the same I gotta maintain Yeah, Im just tryna make it But all this shit, I can't take it Guess I'll just have to fake it Learned my lesson from the pain I'll never be the same I gotta mantain I been through hell in my life I gotta fight to survive Every fucking day I strive Tryna be a better me But I made it through the struggle And I've been tryna hustle Tryna write the rhymes Tryna put some time Into my goals Sometimes I just lose hope But then I feel the energy And I wanna kill a beat Makes me jump up to my feet Makes me wanna fucking scream I don't care if my bars are weak I don't care if I'm not on beat I'm just gonna be me And no one's gotta stop it That's something I can promise Cause I'm just trying to make it But all this shit, I can't take it Guess I'll just have to fake it Learned my lesson from the pain I'll never be the same I gotta maintain Yeah, I gotta maintain
