No matter what the people say
I'm gona live my life this way
Nobody gona slow my pace
Ill keep hanging on
I'm fighting for a better day
Cuz I gotta give this love away
Change coming and despite the pain
I'll keep hanging on
I'll keep hanging on
I used to never have a doubt in my mind
But now I argue back and forth inside my head all the time
Filling the hole inside your soul ain't got no
Reason or rhyme
But If it don't serve me then I'm surely gonna leave it behind
It's more apparent that my
Light burns brighter and I'm always vibin higher
When I tune out the distractions and focus on my desires
I'm finally aware of what I want and what's required
And my team all pulls together when it's down to the wire
And what the people say? It doesn't matter anyway
I keep hangin' on for all my homies and my family's sake
You feel like you could run away?
Well no one else could take your place
Whatever's on your mind is just the opener for brighter days
If something happens we deal with the circumstances
And we won't let it deter us from dreaming and taking chances
We don't take what we're handed
Be the brush and not the canvas
And if they gonna knock us down we'll be the last ones standing
No matter what the people say
I'm gona live my life this way
Nobody gona slow my pace
Ill keep hanging on
I'm fighting for a better day
Cuz I gotta give this love away
Change coming and despite the pain
I'll keep hanging on
I'll keep hanging on
Mic rockin' was always my calling
Since I was small I had ears open and eyes watching
My aim is to spit the most dangerous truth just the way it is
I always knew that I was crafted different
I probably wouldn't made it if I had to fit in
I never asked permission
Following the mass opinion is a bad religion
I put the first foot prints in every path I've driven
I been slept on, stepped on
My name the last one they tend to put respect on
When they were treated dead wrong I came to their defense
The shoe slapped on the other foot how soon they forget
I never had a taste for accolades
Fame fortune and the praise
I just want the chance to face myself before I pass away
If my creator smiles at me on the last of days
It won't matter what creation had to say
No matter what the people say
I'm gona live my life this way
Nobody gona slow my pace
Ill keep hanging on
I'm fighting for a better day
Cuz I gotta give this love away
Change coming and despite the pain
I'll keep hanging on
I'll keep hanging on
No matter what the people say
I'm gona live my life this way
Nobody gona slow my pace
Ill keep hanging on
I'm fighting for a better day
Cuz I gotta give this love away
Change coming and despite the pain
I'll keep hanging on
I'll keep hanging on
