(Verse 1)

All my life been stuck trying to get by
Oh my I've been fucked trying to get my
Shit up and at it, it's become quite a habit
Til things things go away
I never lose once I've had it
That's not right, no luck crying in just
Uphill fight, this rut's kinda been such
A one-way ticket
I'm the one person with it
Hard as I try
I just can't seem to ditch you (come back)

One step closer 'n further away
I'm one giant leap back from where i wanna be at
That isn't me I gotta hustle my socks off
Wait for the day that I've made that I've not got
One step closer 'n further away
Just one more stride, and I'll be alright
I'll be on time
Be on pride
I keep on tryin
Keep callin
Imma keep on keepin it locked
We're gonna keep on keepin on keepin it locked so

(Chorus)

Clap ya hands to the beat yo
Jump up out of yo skin
We've come a long way to be here so let us in

The more I see it ain't easy
I'm bought to break, fall down and collapse
And the farther I'm gone I gotta feeling I won't come back
So come back

(Come back)

(Verse 2)

All my life's been a helluva sitcom
Oh my I've had a helluva trip
Going up and up and have a long way to go
Get to the top, flop and fall way belooooooow

No that's not right
Been working in ?slaver?
My uphill fight
Got me working all day 'n' night
Like it, love it, or leavin leadin this way I like
Want it, need it and when i see it
I sing it like this (like this, like this, like this)

Twenty-two years putting in sweat and blood
Too many moons, here building up respect and love
So tell me who here wants to get hype?
turn up and just jump (jump, jump, jump)

Ooh yeah
I've been ?pressed? for luck
But it's a new year, came back, stepped it up
And the best of us ??????? Colfax
With these big ??? you gotta time ??? left, come on

(Chorus)

Clap ya hands to the beat yo
Jump up out of yo skin
We've come a long way to be here so let us in

The more I see it ain't easy
I'm bought to break, fall down and collapse




And the farther I'm gone I gotta feeling I won't come back
So come back
