You can't let nobody stand in your way You just gotta get back up, yeah You just gotta get back up, oh And take down everything that you cannot change now You just gotta get back up, yeah You just gotta get back up, oh Picture this, just a kid who's 21 Caught up in the world tryin' to figure where to go but he really don't know so he runs From everything that he knows, everyone that he loves Everyone that he once trusted but pushed away with a shove Lost a couple loved ones above to all of the doves Many issues but he sweeps em all underneath of the rug He bottles up he fights he drinks Late at night he just thinks He lies awake can't get a wink prepares himself to sink Finally falls, slips into a dream that's commonly lucid Sees his name up in the lights and he shoots it he cannot believe That anyone would wanna hear his words Tell him to work on school and quit perfecting his verse I mean really what is he worth?

One in a million If only they knew what he's been through bouncing back he's resilient Waiting for them to feel it, close his wounds with the sealant Eyes are glued to the pen and paper he's gonna reveal it, no you can't
