You're stronger
So don't you quit
More powerful

Than they admit
You're stronger
Er er er er er er er er
Keep rising
Breaking every chain that holds
Catching every spear
They've thrown
Standing tall
Although I'm down
I don't have to let them know
Tap in to the energy
Yeah I feeling in my zone
Standing tall
Although I'm down
I don't have to let them know
They trying to knock me down
Shove me out the way
But don't know they making me Stronger
They trying to send me south
Still I'm on my way
They don't know
They're making me Stronger
Wow so foul so heavy
Still i flex the weight
They don't know
They're making me stronger
They've darken my cloud
Now All i do is reign
They don't know
They're making me stronger
I gotta whole lotta rebel in me
Revel with me
There's a whole lotta
Levels to me
Level with me
Flow with the grace at a pace They couldn't pedal with me
Bring out the beast like The peace wouldn't settle in me
I done found solutions
From no resolve
Done survived
The hi jacks and sabotage
They cross lines with grimace
I cross lines that finish
Across lines with winnings
Above average
Raaah
They don't know
They making me
Stronger
They don't know
They making me
Stronger
Making me strong
Rise high n' above
Through the barriers
Above the obstacles
You're stronger
So don't you quit
More powerful

Er er er er er er er er er
Keep rising
Breaking every chain that holds
Catching every spear
They've thrown
Standing tall
Although I'm down
I don't have to let them know
Tap in to the energy
Yeah I feeling in my zone
Standing tall
Although I'm down
I don't have to let them know
Let em' know what
Strong as Atlas
The earths in my grips
Like bro do even you lift
Peaking at piff
Then pick it up
Like imma hold it
Before you know it
The worlds on my shoulders
I wonder where ill throw it
The smarter the flex
The thicker the skin
The harder the heart
The larger the part
Target gets hit
Depending on the
Arch of the dart
Say the mark is hit
Back like I'm stronger than ever
This is the ultimate
Yeah
They trying to put me down
Shove me out the way
But don't know
They making me stronger
They trying to send me south
Still I'm on my way
They don't know
They making me stronger
So foul so heavy
Still i push the weight
They don't know
They making me stronger
They darkened my cloud
Now All i do is reign
They don't know
They making me strong

If I could go back in time and show myself where I am now
Looking back at how far I've come, if only I could go back in time and show my past self where I am now
I would hurt myself and kill myself and cut til the sun came out
I was in such a dark place that I would hurt myself and even consider ending my own life
Cuz that's where I was then; not far from right now
That dark place I was in before isn't too far from where I am now
I just didn't think it could get worse than hell
Being in that state of mind, I couldn't fathom things getting any worse
But I know
Having gone through that experience, I now know that things can get better
I am so sick of being down
I've had enough of feeling depressed and hopeless
Look out (look out). You don't know what it's all about
If you haven't experienced it yourself, you can't understand the pain and struggle I went through
I don't know why or where or how
I don't know how or why I got to that dark place
I'll see you at the top
I'm determined to succeed and make it to the top
I'm getting stronger now
Through all the pain and adversity, I'm becoming a stronger person
Motivation, motivation, you've been so hard to find
Finding the motivation to keep going and make positive changes has been a struggle
Aggravation leads to steaming; overpowering my being
Feeling angry and frustrated has taken a toll on my mental health
I've come to reap this healing
I've realized the importance of healing and taking care of myself
It's time to get out of feeling down on my luck
I'm done feeling sorry for myself and ready to make changes in my life
I'm rising up from the dumps. Let's make it so they shut up
I'm overcoming my struggles and proving those who doubted me wrong
And I'm not one to shake from all of my doubts
Even though I have doubts and fears, I won't let them stop me from achieving my goals
You can show them yourself. Now they'll know what we're about
Through my actions and success, I'll prove to others what I am capable of
I don't need your negativity
I won't let other people's negativity bring me down
I don't need any stupid apology
I don't need anyone to apologize for doubting me or underestimating me
I'm getting stronger now, and stronger
I'm continuously growing stronger and more resilient

I googled the lyrics if any one els wanted to know them. This song gives me hope and motivation to write myself, thank you A-F-R-O
Smooth Groove, steadily tuned
Heavy never refused
Plenty of soothing amusing, music melodies
Mic-snatcher, high colliding rhyme advancer
Nghtmre and afro, fight fair in battles
Raw rhymes of dark matter
All types of jar scatter
Part-time and locked shackles
Parched dimes get off afro
Soft side and dark shadows
Create a full rhyme, inspiration of like
It's the way that you'll vibe
With the pagin' of minds
Slow temple, soul monumental continental contempentalon par with the cause in the monumental
With a little bit of a simple kinda
Y'know i'm the rhyme the flyin' blind
Eyes open when the rhymes smokin' from the writin'
Gentle giants shining on my bond the tracks
Saw fact, that relation then we put it on wax like that
Yo check it, uh yo
I have the best head bobs of anybody you know
I let the rest get calm, then rock the buildin' with flow
I get the best set strong, stomp the ceilin' to the floor
Protect your headset, gon throb ya neck to the show
Keepin panic to three and offer
To settle the beat to the proper pen, with the speed
When i'm off to blend with the breathe derogative
Hands in the dirt, art for the send with the verse
I'm talkin' the kindlin' of words and arcs
(???)
Talkin' a flow for nothin'
Soften a blow, use nothin'
A lot of people when us roll that roll right through the sufferin'
Spot some people when as roll i'm hopin' to be bludgeon
Shocked that people with that scroll erosion'll be comin'
Next resurrection i've had the perfection
Learnin' the ropes, helpin' to step in the direction
You would never guess this team would work
When 'fro's words bless and manifest this earth, uh
Top notch soft spots watch watched locks locked knock stocked hot blocks
Pen and a pad, rhymin' it great tho
You best with the plan, I wouldn't say so
Correctin' a man you likely to take blows
Step in the sand, and rise a grave stone
Grand awake and take base base rated base paid to play players make haters naysayers

Vladimir Kushkov Dude, you are so Slavic you could probably meet the person who said it and find out yourself. You’re powerful my boy.

It's a shame the extent people go through to label hip hop. This is gold. For those who can understand AFRo... Close your eyes and feel the vibe. He describes the vibe itself. I actually saw the making of it before listening to the song, and I tell you... This is art.

Love it when an Hip Hop artist and an EDM artist collaborate. It's always a beautiful sound
