Moving Forward

[Intro] Let me tell you something you already know The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are It will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it You, me, or nobody is going to hit as hard as life But it ain't about how hard you hit It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward How much you can take and keep moving forward [Verse 1: Hiatus] Feeling like Balboa, always something to prove Struggling everyday, creating music that moves Hearts and souls, maybe move me out the hood Sacrifice personal life, working for the greater good Facing battles head on, till the world beat me down Took every ounce to get my life turned back around If I should die before I wake remember me for these words: That although the world knocked me down I moved forward [Verse 2: Extreme Talent] I move forward, with the momentum of hope Living life on the edge,dangling from a rope But I see the end of the storm,and that's a nice change Life's strange,and in a way,I blamed it on my age Next page [Verse 3: Hiatus] Turning the page, seeing words inked in blood stains I'm looked at strange because I want to change ways Most people fold or play the hand that they've been given On the other hand I do what it takes to earn the winnings Envisioned a better life for myself beyond these city walls Beyond the cried river where broken dreams crawl All I ever wanted was to leave a mark, remembered for words That's the constant drive pushing myself forward [Verse 4: Adverse] Sometimes It takes a fall to advance in life Sometimes you gotta give your all, chance it twice My life is a boxing bout and I’m unstoppable Fueled on blood spouts and Rocky quotes… My life is a movie, and it’s so under budget The world’s throwing hands and I be ducking punches Life hits hard, I’m bruised to the core… But can’t be stopped in the task of moving me forward [Outro] Now if you know what you're worth then go out and get what you're worth But you got to be willing to take the hit Not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be Because of him, or her, or ANYBODY!!!
