Same folks as closest to you
But starts when you hold too close
That are letting go of old habits,
usual roads with invisible
I've grown to show a remedy
I gotta do me respect you for being free
and honesty is what I found for now
we can't be biting tongues
I ride the drums I grew to them
but this is more than music son
this is for the chosen ones
that chose to grow for love on all I know I
and that's what's up for all my soul
I hope this bro ain't finished
because all I got is me and
they say the struggles of life
can only make you more strong if growing up
If was easy it wouldn't take so long
Express yourself, be healthy and live long
They say the struggles of life
can only make you more strong
Express yourself, be healthy and live long
I held back a lot of tears
and conquered a lot of fears
I've persevered for years,
licks chronic and nicotine
Life strips, maybe fiend for drugs,
hella angry at the whole world around me
The les sons of my surroundings
is that de pression is astounding
I need lessons in grounding,
hold up, I need to let go
Hell, I do a lot of mistakes,
that makes my daily life stressful
I got a handful of remorse,
I'll let life take its course
Succumb to a higher force,
I pray it doesn't get any worse
I should've wanted every verse
to be serious, I just can't
While I'm a child, tribal chants,
I still remember Riz Ahmed
And be neath where I stand
Respect my parents, raising me
must've been some hardship
Sisters, brothers, my two sons and a mother
They say the strongest of life
can only make you more strong
Express yourself, be healthy, and live long
They say the strongest of life
can only make you more strong
