Just woke up the hood
Shook off the blues
Dust off my shoulder
Changed up the mood

Jumped off the chain gang
Turnt off the news
Stood with the voiceless
til I Wore out my shoes

Your hero’s a lie
With something to prove
Stacked up a system
So others would lose

So I picked up a pen
Mic in my hand
Paid all my dues

Just to let you know that

I’m still on my way
I hear them steady calling
It might be hard today
But I’m gon keep it going
