Guess this my situation
When them gates start to close

Ain't no conversation
Mama tried on her own
I was dedicated
Saw the path I was on

And she knew I made it
In this life that I chose
Ain't no hesitation
This the moment they was waiting on

Will he fold against all odds
Will he stand ten toes
Tried to back away
But I can't let go, look

I can't change
Try to make a way
But the streets keep calling
I can't change

Running from the pain
And I keep on falling
But I can't change
Try to make a way

But the streets keep calling
I can't change
Running from the pain
And I keep on falling

Yeah, was it worth it
Mama start crying during the verdict
I'ma stand tall
I done took it deeper than the surface

We all got flaws, we ain't perfect
Look me in my eyes, I ain't nervous
Every single stripe, I earned it
Couldn't wash it off with detergent

Regardless of it all, I found purpose
Gave it my all
I done been loyal to the service, like
I can't change

Try to make a way
But the streets keep calling
I can't change
Running from the pain

And I keep on falling
But I can't change
Try to make a way
But the streets keep calling

I can't change
Running from the pain
And I keep on falling
