Easy to keep your chin up when the chips up
Chips down, keep your chin tuck
That mean keep your head down
Gotta get down, stay grinding
Mama wanna see me shining
Thought that I was always blinding
Didn't know I needed all the pressure weighing on me
Just to turn into a diamond
Put time in, never time out
What you put in is what you get out
Put it all in, give it all in
Cause I'm really not the type to pull out
For Gwen Stefani, so nigga that's No Doubt

I swear it's like I got nine lives
Every time I got shot by life, I came back again
Never hold me down for the count
Live to fight another round, man I'm fueled with adrenaline
Although they may wanna impede
They will never succeed
Trying to intervene
With the plans God has for me
With the plans God has for me

Cut the grass on my side
Just to see if snakes reside
Terminator on the line
I can't let these niggas slide
Or slither in to the kitchen when we cooking up the potion
Talent and hard work then finesse it with devotion
The commotion, suckas sweating scattering on the scene
Thinking I'm Mr. Carter asking "Where have you been?"
Shit you know, putting in work
For the bag, on the low
I'm like a ticking time bomb
Times up I'm about to blow

I swear it's like I got nine lives
Every time I got shot by life, I came back again
Never hold me down for the count
Live to fight another round, man I'm fueled with adrenaline
Although they may wanna impede
They will never succeed
Trying to intervene
With the plans God has for me
With the plans God has for me

I swear it's like I got nine lives
Every time I got shot by life, every time I got shot
Never hold me down for the count
Live to fight another round, man I'm fueled
Man I'm fueled
Man I'm fueled
With the plans God has for me
With the plans God has for me
