There was a little and a pur... [BEEP]

Through two Suburbans and... [BEEP]



[Hook x2]

Word is bond, bond is life

I give my life before my word shall fail

A soldier's oath, freedom of death

And I won't stop if I fail



[Verse 1]

If I fail get back, can't be soft got to be tough

If I fall get back, can't be soft got to be tough

If I fail get back, can't be soft got to be tough

If I fall get back, can't be soft got to be tough



Failure, it's not an option

Real recognize real let's get it poppin'

With mathematics you can solve any problem

That's how we make it from the top to the bottom

Keep ya head up homie and stay confident

It's negativity around but I'm positive

Cuz I'm givin' everything that I got to give

Stayin' true to myself, that's how I keep it real



[Hook x2]



[Verse 2]

If I fail then I'll rise

Like a phoenix before yo eyes

Out the ashes and from the dirt

Report for duty and put in work

Eternal life, an iron will

Man sharpens man, steel sharpens steel

The hate you gave, we turn to love

Rest in peace, one thug one love



[Verse 3]

We can't be stopped if we don't give up

Even though they hold us back we still find ways to come up

A lot of people make promises with no plans to keep 'em

But me, no matter what I'm ridin' till I get my freedom

If I fail, then it's only a challenge to go harder

Don't want to be no martyr so I adapt to things smarter

It's death before dishonor

And I put that on my son and my momma

And don't take it as a threat, that's a promise



[Hook x2]



[Verse 4]

If in my quest to achieve my goals

I stumble or crumble or even lose my soul

Those that knew me would easily co-sign

That there was never a life as hard as mine

No father, no money, no chance, no God

I only follow my voice inside

If it guides me wrong and I do not win

I learn from mistakes and try to achieve again

Dedicated to the youth, the truth is the seed

The stronger the root, the stronger the tree

If we eat from the fruit, the stronger we be

If we do it today, tomorrow we free



[Hook x4]



[Spoken]

Yeah, y'all put ya twos up for Tupac

Dead Prez collaboration

It's only two choices man, ball or fall

Rose that grew from concrete

And we still growin'
