Truth B. Told - Here I Go (feat. Songrighter Ali)

Our journeys can be difficult at times
You WILL have those that want to see you fail
Sometimes you'll feel like, like nobody's in your corner
Those are the times you have to dig deep in yourself
and show the world what you're made of
Take a deep breath
Look at yourself in the mirror
And tell yourself "I've got this"
Here I go (And make it happen)
Here I am
I won't back down
Here I stand
Here I go
Here I am
Against all odds
Here I stand

Everything that I've been through, I gotta continue
Gotta grind, gotta find my way
Through the hurt, through the pain I'll remain
I done came a long way through the storm through the rain
Niggas callin' out your name like you
Never did shit but I paid my dues
Praying on my knees for the strength to persevere through the constant nonsense
Got my dreams and these boys ain't got shit
I made a promise to reach the top
And I'll be damned if any nigga that can breathe can stop me
I got mouths to feed so I'ma keep cookin'
Don't believe me? All good, keep lookin'
I'ma climb my mountaintop, you can doubt me
Not one damn will I give
With every damn breath in my lungs I'ma fight 'til I'm done
And my last words'll go like this

Here I go
Here I am
I won't back down
Here I stand
Here I go
Here I am
Against all odds
Here I stand

So many people are prepared to write my eulogy
Unaware that God is far from being through with me
I am more than what they say I am
Stronger than the lies told about me
Braver than those that doubt me
I am what destiny looks like
Saginaw's finest
A city where the cold-hearted turn coal to diamonds
I shine for those that never made it out
Made a route to rewrite the history of those less fortunate
Hoping that these jewels bring you better fortunes
Failure ain't an option, it's an ultimatum
Either that or my grave so either way what I say better move mountains
Better move crowds and if you wanna count my shortcomings, keep on countin'
I never died for your sins, I'm not the Son
But my Father saw the right to make me the author of words that walk on water
A walking oxymoron: how you ice cold yet spit fire?
Write poems that inspire generations long after my ass turns to ash
I'm not here to be immortal
Let these words live forever
I simply pray that somehow
I help make your life a little better

Here I go
Here I am
I won't back down
Here I stand
Here I go
Here I am
Against all odds
Here I stand
Against all odds
Here I stand
Against all odds
Here I stand
