Intro 1

Verse 1
Dm 
No time to hide
I'm alive on the inside
Making up my mind on the front lines
When I survive,
when I survive another day
Dm 
This great divide
Side by side on the inside
Making up our minds on the front lines
Never again,
never again will I be denied

Verse 2
Dm 
Back and forth, stuck in a hole,
damage control
Digging for rhymes
on a secondhand cell phone
When I survive,
when I survive another year
Still month to month

Paying my dues on the inside
Making up my mind on the outside
Never again, never again will I be denied
