(Verse 1) Damned if you do, damned if you don't In this cold world, it's hard to stay afloat They judge you by your actions, but they don't know your pain Tryna break free from this life full of strain I'm trapped in this system, it's hard to find a way Every move I make, they got something to say But I rise above, like a phoenix from the ashes Surviving in this game, where everyone clashes Living in the shadows, trying to find my light But they keep pulling me down, like a never-ending fight I'm a soldier in this war, fighting for my dreams No matter what they say, I'ma rise by any means They say I'm too aggressive, they say I'm too raw But I'm just speaking the truth, what you came here for I'ma keep pushing, never gonna stop Damned if I do, but I won't let this world make me drop (Verse 2) Damned if you do, damned if you don't They want you to conform, but I won't I'ma stay true to myself, no matter the cost I refuse to be another one that's lost They say I'm too real, they can't handle my flow But I spit fire, watch it burn, let it show I'm a rebel with a cause, speaking for the voiceless Shattering the barriers, leaving the haters voiceless They try to box me in, but I break free I'ma keep grinding, till the day they all see That I'm a force to be reckoned with, a legend in the making Damned if I do, but I won't be forsaken I'ma keep pushing, no matter the doubt I'll rise to the top, that's what I'm about So remember my name, 'cause I'm here to stay Damned if I do, but I won't fade away
