Lyrics

[00:33.49] I'm staring' at the view from the height of my past pain
[00:36.05] Ironic, I'm trying come in first if it's the last thing
[00:38.86] They trying throw me off, but I won't let 'em pass me
[00:41.74] They kill me with the hating, but I ain't in the casket
[00:44.62] I gotta stay on top, gotta fucking overcome shit
[00:47.42] I had to learn to beat it like I just got a drum kit
[00:50.30] Now my motto 'keep faith, stay strong
[00:52.74] Be prosperous
[00:53.74] Stay positive and fuck anyone that say opposite'
[00:56.61] 'Cause everybody don't wanna see you win
[00:58.61] In the end, your biggest enemies may be your friend
[01:01.61] Keep losing my balance;
[01:02.74] That's the prize of a winner
[01:04.24] So, I'm trying find god in the eyes of a sinner
[01:07.24] 'Cause me, I'm like the victim through the eyes of a killer;
[01:09.86] Gun's aimed at her worth and the pride that's within her
[01:12.74] I'm the uprise in the lives of the demise and devastation
[01:16.43] The little piece of heaven left in satan, forreal
[01:19.55] So what if it hurts?
[01:20.36] The struggle is first
[01:21.11] To live is to die, we all suffer the curse
[01:23.99] And love is the cure until we're suffering worse
[01:26.68] Pleasure is pain; the suffering's first
[01:28.69]
[01:41.43] Pushed 'em out of my life, my friends say that I changed
[01:43.86] But, how the fuck you make a difference and still stay the same?
[01:47.77] They don't carry the weight; they can't handle the pressure
[01:49.58] So they can see me evolve, but they can't capture my essence
[01:52.33] My life is insane, and I don't get enough credit
[01:54.90] But the picture ain't realistic like a Photoshop edit
[01:58.06] How could you even be mad that I would wanna enhance that?
[02:00.87] Just to have the option, like I hit the 'advanced' tab
[02:04.24] So, fuck 'em all;
[02:05.12] They'd rather see me fail
[02:06.49] I hit the mainstream and my ship gon' sail
[02:09.30] And niggas gon' hate, and some gon' applaud me
[02:12.31] But I remain a problem that nobody's resolving
[02:14.99] I got this ache in my soul and it's distant now
[02:18.18] 'cause I'm hotter than the flames on a Piston now
[02:21.06] I keep losing my balance, that's what trips me out
[02:23.93] I keep my emotions inside 'til I'm flipping out
[02:26.68] But I won't trip
[02:28.24] I stand tall
[02:29.37] Just keep my head
[02:30.87] And hold on
[02:32.12] I said, I won't trip
[02:33.62] I stand tall
[02:34.99] Just keep my head
[02:36.43] And hold on
[02:37.87] So what if it hurts?
[02:38.93] The struggle is first
[02:40.12] To live is to die, we all suffer the curse
[02:43.05] And love is the cure until we're suffering worse
[02:46.43] Pleasure is pain; the suffering's first
[02:48.06]
[03:00.38] Sometimes I feel like I'm bound to be a sell-out
[03:02.75] So I spit fire to try to let this hell out
[03:04.94] To try to let myself out
[03:06.44] This cage I trapped myself in
[03:07.75] But I won't let myself in
[03:09.13] I feel like if I lose sight of me, I won't let myself win
[03:12.27] And I won't let myself end, I be damned if I do
[03:14.90] I enjoy being myself; I be damned if I'm you
[03:17.08] See, I give 'em what they need and that's that real shit
[03:20.45] And I do it with my heart so they can feel this
[03:23.14] That's why the words in my songs reach broken bones
[03:25.89] Make 'em strong, show 'em they got more to focus on
[03:29.05] And music is the only thing I put my hope in
[03:31.57] Use words to capture my mute emotions
[03:33.38] I'm like an umbrella top, how I'm hit with the rain
[03:37.19] But I walk when it hurts like a ligament's sprain
[03:39.19] And my thoughts like a frame to the picture I paint;
[03:42.88] I get high off the green like the top of terrain
[03:45.81] They can't extinguish the flame from my mouth when I speak
[03:48.50] I got beauty and peace, like a tropical beach
[03:50.57] And I got me some dreams that I won't stop 'til I reach
[03:53.75] And Dr. King's speech in the mouth of a freak
[03:56.95] So what if it hurts?
[03:58.00] The struggle is first
[03:59.19] To live is to die, we all suffer the curse
[04:02.00] And love is the cure until we're suffering worse
[04:04.88] Pleasure is pain; the suffering's first
