Joey the Dreamer - Only The Strong

Let me tell you bout a dream that a boy had staring at the ceiling
I was listening to music just to escape from the feeling
Like i'd never win cause every time i tried to fit in it was evident
That boy was not meant for this world they was selling him
Was eleven when depression hit use to struggle
I ain't grow up with my father but i still learned how to hustle
Wouldn't trust you like i'm metro and your future is in trouble
Stake my life up on this shit wanna rumble
Never stop giving up was not a option for me
Every drops like a motherfucking bomb when i speak
On my momma i promise i walked through the flames and the darkness
The pain was my spark underneath
Every star gotta shine under pressure
So i put my heart into every bar that departs from my chest
Every scar's a reminder or lesson
I was built for this shit homie only the strong surviving the test (yeah)

I been on a mission for years
I shed all the blood sweat and tears
I bled try to walk in my shoes
The underdog in a game where they want me to lose
I been under pressure before
I grin it's time to settle the score
My path so lonely and long
But i was built for this shit bro only the strong
Only the strong survive man it's been a long ride
Trapped in the trenches i take the tracks i'm from the wrong side
Lacking essentials i took a path and almost lost mine
Rap was the message like it was written word to nas
I been living in hard times and pressure since age ten
Never respected the system cuz it never made sense
Destined for prison i used to think it was my fate then
Until i got on my mission yo i am not my convictions
I know you got an opinion but i don't want your permission
And i ain't losing my focus i'm going hard for the vision
We gonna prove who's the dopest fuck all the barkin' and bitchin'
Cuz i been bruised and i'm broken bloody in darkened conditions
And y'all ain't fuckin' with cyrus it's like contracting a virus
That just attacks the immune system it's savage and violent
There's nothing that you can do it adapts to antibiotics
It does it cuz it exists not for the fans or the profits (who wants it)

I been on a mission for years
I shed all the blood sweat and tears
I bled try to walk in my shoes
The underdog in a game where they want me to lose
I been under pressure before
I grin it's time to settle the score
My path so lonely and long
But i was built for this shit bro only the strong
