Persevere

..persevere

I formulate it like an idea

I built it up like Ikea

now I’m feelin like a pioneer

I been thru it like riot gear..

Hell yea I had fights here

Hell yea I had fright in here

Hell yea people died in here

Hell yea long nights in here

damn..

I seen dudes burnt alive

I seen dudes stabbed to death

I seen dudes mutilated

something you witness catch your breath

I was called out to the shower, I was koo, it was one on one

I faced it all, I can never run

two more came, I aint hear them come

I hit the ground, saw a blade, and all I thought about was my sons

what I haven’t said to my loved ones

I wont lie here as my blood runs

I went numb

then I went dumb!

survival instincts started hittin home

they won’t stop me from gettin home

I was facin death alone

but I kept swingin til I broke my bones

it got hard to manage breath

adrenaline peaked, no panic left

one man had left

but one hand left..

it can always get worse here

this is hell but there’s church here

I swear reality hurts here

and you’ll never know when it will hit you but you always have to persevere
