hook:

i'm trying to leave my mark 'for i go /
i'm trying to live my life 'for i die/
everything they said that i can't do/
i just always seem to defy/ I...
gotta put that work in,, gotta go hard, put in time/
and eventually i will get whats mine/
although nothing certain, i could say that one thing is certain, that i know it's gonna be a climb/
but i will never lose/
i will never lose/
i will never lose /
i will never lose/ nope
i will never lose/
i will never lose/
i will never lose
i will never lose/ nope

verse1:

got my eyes on the prize in the dark i could see the light/
you don't see how i see we don't see alike/
see you see it wrong, me i see it right/
i came to live you just came to see the sights/
you only live once remember what you see in life/
you may not get it, but you don't get to see it twice/
so make the best of it, certainly i will/
and just treasure its better if you make sure it's real/
cuz i'm tired of the bullshit/
tired of excuses/
tried and i tried now i'm chucking up the deuces/
the problem is elusive i gotta find solutions/
bouncing like a ball off the walls like acoustics/
see the truth is i aint like these losers/
every man you asked walks the path that he chooses/
so i gotta ask in the past was I stupid/
but now i'm on the path for this music/

verse2:

i'm the long shot the one that aint suppose to make it/
from the wrong block now i'm everybody's favorite/
this that joint where them bars is like god relayed it/
with more points from a star than the star of David/
i'm trying to leave my mark here/
i'm shutting down the streets dog/
i'm a double park here ya gon' play some leap frog/
i aint gon' move take a detour/
start another groove when in deep thought/
keep off/
life's a see-saw, when you deal with ups and downs/
i'm on a free fall, waiting to hit solid ground/
what a feeling, when its hard to find a ceiling/
skin was made to shed don't worry if they see you peeling/
stand up tall don't ever let them find you kneeling/
and if they do tell'em pain is just a part of healing/
it don't matter cuz when its said and done/
i know that i'm gonna be the one/
