Barriers

I was down and out
My clock was ticking down to one
I was putting up a fight
But i was down a three to one
I was living on my couch
Waiting for my time to come
I mean Barely left the house
I had no energy for none
I was praying to god for signs
Cus i wanted to give up
I was making all these changes
But it still wasn't enough
People showed me true colors
And i still showed them love
Didn't think that i would make it
But I'm still showing up

And I'm still glowing up
And I'm still blowing up
This is only the beginning
How you think I'm holding up
I had barriers
You didn't even know was going up
And I'm still moving forward
No i not slowing up
Roadblocks keep popping up
Still i won't give up
Haymakers getting thrown my way
Watch me weave and duck
Way stronger than you niggas think
Don't you press your luck
David vs galiath
I don't care i could be a runt
People doubted me all my life
This ain't nothing new
Trynna tell me who you think i am
Who the hell are you
Try to tell me how to live my life
But what about you
Let me worry bout me
And you worry bout you
I know i got a couple problems
But i handle them in faith
I know god watching over me
You see him in my face
And you feel him in my words
You can tell I'm not same
This is verses from my heart
This ain't coming from the brain
I've been humble way before
You even knew about the pain
I've been struggling like half my life
I grew up in the rain
I never had the newest shit
I always had to wait
Echo shirts im talking rock a wear
My mom said it's all the same

I was down and out
My clock was ticking down to one
I was putting up a fight
But i was down a three to one
I was living on my couch
Waiting for my time to come
I mean Barely left the house
I had no energy for none
I was praying to god for signs
Cus i wanted to give up
I was making all these changes
But it still wasn't enough
People showed me true colors
And i still showed them love
Didn't think that i would make it
But I'm still showing up

And I'm still growing up
I'm not trynna be perfect
Didn't say I had it figured out
I said that i was working

I been fighting through the pain
I've been grinding while I'm hurting
I been Stepping out my comfort zone
Cus i know it's worth it
Trynna tell me that it ain't for me
But i know my purpose
I'm a lion in a cage full of clowns
In this circus
I ain't jumping through no rings
But you see im running circles
I could keep playing dumb
But I'm moving like erkal
If I'm wrong then i make it right
Any day and any night
Tripping cus i haven't Made it
Where i wanna be in life
It doesn't mean i don't believe
It means that i gotta fight
My way out the darkest night
If i wanna see the light
I be giving out advice
And i never take my own
I got family i could call
But they never check they phone
I decided that i gotta go
And get it On my own
Build it from the ground up
If i wanna see a thrown
