At first no one believed that I could achieve Goals I had set, hopes, dreams Had no respect for my own team So much pressure, felt like I couldn't breathe and {*Chokes*} ...Relieved When I shook all the doubts and decided to proceed Yes men, girlfriends, I don't need Set my own pace, move at my own speed Pushed on, did it by myself No matter you say, ain't none of y'all helped No matter what you think, I was standing on the brink Gun in my hand, standing by the sink Something inside wouldn't let me sink Had a few drinks, saw a few shrinks Been to the groups, I been on the meds And this is for my people that's living on the edge [Chorus] You gotta put both feet on the ground, then you push Can't let life beat you down, you gotta push Don't look back when you fall, you gotta push Soon as your back hit the wall, you gotta push You gotta push it along, push it along Push it along, yeah push it along Push it along, push it along Push it along, yeah push it along [Murs] Move toward your blessings Everything in life should be a forward progression Don't stop, it's more than a session Don't let obstacles become obsessions Look beyond 'em, look past 'em Look at 'em as something to do while time's passing It keeps moving, like it or not This life that you live's the only life that you got Tomorrow's not promised, I can promise you that Skip the fiction, get on with the facts You live, you die, you laugh, you cry No answers to the questions, quit asking why Live the present, the past is the past The future all depends on the moves you made last And you should have no regrets When the walls close in and life puts you to the test [Chorus] [Murs] I got God and the Devil got gone The dark side is not that strong Put it all in perspective, the prime directive You must give respect to get respected Treat others how you wish to be treated You give what you get and the cycle is completed They retreated, left my boy for dead He held his head, kept positive instead A hate, he pushed that love Praying one day that we all blow up So what? Different paths, different men Hoping that we all get together, laugh in the end Cause friends is friends and time will change It takes a lot of strength to survive the game Cause if you win, you win, it's all the same We can't get lost in the lights and fame
