Chorus:
I used to lurk off in them shadows:
I tried to keep it lowkey, realizing I was only hurting me.
I used to keep it real shallow:
and now the boy going in deep; territory, occupying every street.
Man, this life it be a battle:
kitchen, cooking man; turning up the heat; out here working like it's all on me.
Never throwing in the towel:
can't be quitting, man; I'm always on a mission; never finished, keep it pushing 'til the day I stop breathing.

Verse:
Ripping and gripping the mic to share hope with the masses;
gotta tell it like it is, got no time for being passive.
I'm running and gunning to shake the world right off its axis;
yeah, the talent God-given, sit back, watch it happen.
Need to keep up; I can go the distance like I'm Hercules.
So, catch up; life's a marathon, I got longevity.
I'm way up above the negativity, it's clear to me;
I do trust that making rap my pulpit was my destiny.
Got the range like I'm Peyton Manning 'cause the message has reach;
Jesus died for the whole, right? But, how come they only want a piece?
Breaking through the silence, can't be staying quiet;
so worried 'bout being comfortable when people out here dying.
Need to step it up, make a move, standing still, just supposing;
we were made the chosen people, never made the chosen frozen.
Made for more, so much more; yeah, we been set free.
Claiming you wanna see growth, how come you never plant seeds?
Spitting facts, spitting truth, pray these rhymes make you see;
can't be striving on your own if you know who reigns supreme.

Chorus:
...in them shadows:
I tried to keep it lowkey, realizing I was only hurting me.
I used to keep it real shallow:
and now the boy going in deep; territory, occupying every street.
Man, this life it be a battle:
kitchen, cooking man; turning up the heat; out here working like it's all on me.
Never throwing in the towel:
can't be quitting, man; I'm always on a mission; never finished, keep it pushing 'til the day I stop breathing.

Verse:
A, B; yeah, you C me.
Not yet on them TVs; posted up on IG, trying to give out all these EPs.
Charlie Sheen, winning, when the blood of Christ was spilling;
in the gym taking shots, now the boy never missing.
So persistent, people probably thinking that I should be finished;
you can try real hard, but I never will diminish.
Stay up with it, keep it coming, can't be walking, always running;
yeah, I'm rising to the top kind of like your grandma's muffins.
Ain't no bluffing, no poker face;
my life be blessed, I be amazed, I can't complain.
I got the strength of Clark Kent and Bruce Wayne;
conviction hits like kryptonite in my soul, in the dead of the knight.
