Own Two Feet (Lessons Learned)

​Looking into yourself and seeing the truth. Finding the truth and being honest with yourself. Using that knowledge and becoming better. Intro Yeah, look back and see the lessons clear Ain't no running from the truth this year ​Verse 1 Thought I was winning while I was just spinning in circles and losing my soul Heavy decisions and blurred out my vision, I felt like I'm losing control Look at the mirror and see it all clearer, the blame is completely on me Ain't no excuses and no more abuses, I'm finally starting to see Shedding the baggage and managing savage emotions that used to control Building my empire on top of the fire, I found a new way to be whole Counting my blessings and learning the lessons instead of just counting the cost Found my direction through heavy reflection and valuing everything lost No more regret in the sweat and the debt that I paid to become who I am Making moves silent and never being violent, avoiding the traps and the sham Keeping my circle tight, working through every night, focused on what I can change Growth is a process that demands a conquest of feelings that used to feel strange Taking accountability with total finality, making no room for the doubt I am the author and I am the offerer showing what I am about Step in my power with every passing hour, I finally found my own way Stronger and wiser with no compromise of the truth that I'm speaking today ​ ​Verse 2 They say that time heals all the wounds, but I think that it's what you do with the time I had to look at my flaws and my cause and rebuild every single mountain I climb Ain't no more playing the victim or sticking to patterns that left me completely broke I put my faith in my hustle and muscle and finally escaped from the smoke Cutting the ties with the lies and the guys who was just using me for my shine Setting my boundaries and surrounding me only with energy purely divine This ain't a game or a claim to the fame, it's a testament of a soul rebuilt Living with pride and with nothing to hide and washing away all the lingering guilt I took the hits and I learned all the bits that make me the person I am today Wiser and bolder, a chip on my shoulder has finally started to melt away I'm making choices and using my voices to speak to the ones who are still in the dark You have the power and this is the hour to find your own fire and light your own spark Taking responsibility is a humility making me stronger than I was before Opening gates and accepting my fates while I'm walking right through the new open door Life is a teacher and I am the creature that finally learned how to truly excel Writing my story and giving the glory to the journey of finding my way out of hell ​Chorus Paid the price for every mistake I made Now I'm making sure my dues get paid Turned my losses into lessons found Never letting fake ones drag me down Paid the price for every mistake I made Now I'm making sure my dues get paid Turned my losses into lessons found Never letting fake ones drag me down ​Outro No more looking back with that regret Lessons learned are ones you don't forget Solid on my own two feet today Finally I found my own damn way
