Everyone has different ways of managing stress. Sometimes we force our way through it headstrong while remaining motivated and driven and sometimes we need to step back, reevaluate everything and reset. This is a song for anyone that can relate to any of that.
lyrics
When all you do is exhaust me
I just brush that shit off me
Though it kills, I keep walking
Feeling like nothing can stop me x2
Had a bad day or maybe a bad year
Full of grievances and fears, trials led to tears
Patience fell short of a hold up a minute or two
Wrestling with doubts, never given a chance to regroup
Put it all together, paper thin, my walls against it all
Are slowly beginning to fall from up top, caving in
I was sure I'd never make it out alive, wondering why
When through it all I was only made to fly
Fuck it, readjust and stabilize, I've worked too hard to hit a grave and die
Well aware of how much I have lost inside
I recall being singled out and I was shot on site
But never turned away to hide, so don't you close your fucking eyes
Sat with my thoughts and organized, the memories
The nightmares were never ending, but awoke up to the truth
Now I ain't going back to that state of mind
Otherwise I'd be right back at the edge of my life, the departure divine
When all you do is exhaust me
I just brush that shit off me
Though it kills, I keep walking
Feeling like nothing can stop me x2
Straight out of a place where I ain't supposed to succeed
Reaching for a dream seeming like an impossible feat
Working 10 times harder than entitled beings
Am I getting stronger or is it all just a feeling
On this path of enlightenment, no excuse
There were moments I saw glimpses of what this movement could do
Building bridges and mountains, such a pivotal view
That's why I put my heart to this shit, to make it come true
And I'll never pass a struggle, it's inevitable
Keepin' in touch with my demons when The Shogun exploiting the rage
But control is key when the powers immeasurable
That's how I let 'em all know I'm still riding the waves
Through the height of deprivation I’ll come out making it work
Taken the worst, worried with the thought of losing my words
And fuck a media slave, yo, that's a thing of the past
The Shogun chose his own path, otherwise you'll feel his wrath
Swing a sword now
Swing a, swing a sword now
Feel da force now
Feel da, feel da force now
Sing my soul out
Sing my, sing my soul out
Bring the roars out
Bring the, bring the roars out x2
When all you do is exhaust me
(Yeah, keep it up)
When all you do is exhaust me
(Yeah, homie, keep it up)
Yeah you better keep watching
(Keep watching homie)
Yeah you better keep watching
(Keep watching homie)
