(That's a fact)
In this life we live you gotta stand for something
(That's a fact)
Remember days they used to clown us called us bummy
(Just like that)
Tried getting these demons off my back so I been running
(Ain't have a track)
I need your loyalty to show me where the love stands
(Yes I do)
I try my best to do it all but I'm just one man
I had to make a choice either hold you close or let you go
Been running out of hope lately got my back against the ropes
I'm with you right or wrong fuck it got burn us to the ground
Was never scared of heights been had dreams to make it to the top
It's time to run it up remember days I used to walk the block
Who thought I'd get this far they said Ian have a chance to make it out
Now mama check me out yo baby boy done took a different route
His feelings gone but he been strong won't let you see his head down
He keep a smile like fuck a frown
Fake love don't bring around
Make sure you close that back door watch out for snakes and keep 'em out
I keep gun when i'm in doubt no I can't let 'em take me out
Might hit a lick to feed my kid won't ever let her see a drought
Patient to the bag ain't no need rush for nothing
(That's a fact)
In this life we live you gotta stand for something
(That's a fact)
Remember days they used to clown us called us bummy
(Just like that)
Tried getting these demons off my back so I been running
(Ain't have a track)
I think it's funny how he beat the odds and he come from nothing (That's the truth)
I need your loyalty to show me where the love stands
(Yes I do)
I try my best to do it all but I'm just one man
Since a youngin I been hustling to the money I been running
I love the hate it motivate so keep it coming
Remember walking through the storm this shit got ugly
See through the blind with my two eyes this shit corrupted
Niggas they tried to hush me bitches ain't wanna love me
This for the ones that thug me kicking em out like rugby
Expire him like lunch meat that's if he run up on me
Survival of the fittest in the jungle shit get grimy
Been all alone they wanna see me lose I just wanted see you on
They praying that I fall they don't wanna see me on
And I know I got some flaws I try my best to right my wrongs
Patient to the bag ain't no need rush for nothing
(That's a fact)
In this life we live you gotta stand for something
(That's a fact)
Remember days they used to clown us called us bummy
