Hold my own





It looks like the system tries to hold me down,

But guess what? I ain't fucking around

You can't deny the pride that I have shown.

I grind hard and I must hold my own.



Coming from the gutter it's so hard to get ahead;

Taking no one's bullshit and working for my bread

The future don't look positive, the rat race holds me down

What a struggle keeping two feet on the ground



Someday I'll have my peace of mind

I'll keep fightin', one day I will find

A decent life where self-respect is shown

Until then I must hold my own.



Always under pressure. I take things as they come,

Always looking up, look out for number one.

My views got you in check, I never back down.

I pack a hard punch and I always stand my ground.



I will not back down

Holding my own, I stand my ground

You will not break me

My belief is my way can't you see?



Coming from the gutter it's so hard to get ahead;

Taking no one's bullshit and working for my bread

The future don't look positive, the rat race holds me down

What a struggle keeping two feet on the ground

Never back down.
