Lord knows how hard I try
To find peace of mind inside
From the demons in my head, mm~
But still I’m gonna chase after my dreams
I’m gonna find out what it means
To be the man Mother always said
I would be
[DFD]
Yo,
Seen the bottom of the bottle one too many times,
Smoking more trees than Yosemite pines
Into the dark side, enemy lines
Swimming in the women*, it’s gonna be blind
Blind to the finish line, while when the demons slow me down
It’s time to get in mind*, but I’m the one who won’t allow
Start with the mirror, MJ said,
Fight your fears until they dead,
Live your life like there’s one day left,
Pay your dues til they cut that check.
With that said, get that bread,
Walk with pride, fix that leg,
Pockets cheap inside that head*,
It’s quite the climb so watch your steps
Lord knows how hard I try
To find peace of mind inside
From the demons in my head, mm~
But still I’m gonna chase after my dreams
I’m gonna find out what it means
To be the man Mother always said
I would be
[DFD]
Yeah,
I once was falling, crawling, everything up in flames
Hit rock bottom, got up and dusted off my shame
Royalty in my bloodline, it’s running through our veins
Go ahead and watch the throne, it’s calling out our names
DFD and Victor King, we making history, yeah, yeah, yeah
Shining crowns, put down a feast*, go ahead and kiss the ring
You either with the team or you’re not,
Those evil scheming and plotting
You gotta weave ‘em and dodge ‘em,
And then free yourself
[Victor]So free your mind from your fears and the pain from your past
And let’s persevere.
Because we never give up,
No we never give in, my friend
But tell me why every night and day,
I stare across the milky way,
Still feeling lost and confused.
Lord knows how hard I try
To find peace of mind inside
From the demons in my head, mm~
But still I’m gonna chase after my dreams
I’m gonna find out what it means
To be the man Mother always said
I would be
