[Scribe]
And I made it through, and I made it through the
Oh, and I made it through the rain and the cold through the dark all alone
My life hit rock bottom I had no where to go
And if I could turn back time and change the road that I chose
All the mistakes that I made, it burns a hole in my soul
And it took all that I had to get out of that hole
It took the birth of my sons to get back on control
So man I just went number one, ain`t going back to the dole
I`m stronger than ever, my enemies they thought I would fold, and yo
[Chorus]
That`s why I`m standing up
I`m holding on to my life yo, I gotta be strong
Now watch me rise you wont see me fall
I`m stronger now Im-a take them all
[Scribe]
So alone and confused and my soul was abused
And a hand came off the handrail to set me loose
It took the love of my family and my friends to show me the truth
I lived a lifetime of pain and I was only a youth
And its hard tryin to swim in an ocean of fools
And I thought I`d catch a break, but I`d broken the rules
And my Aunt always told me take care of yourself
Lest you never put a fork in the road that you choose
And even the strongest trees must grow from the roots
See a house without love ain`t no home it`s a roof
It`s shelter without warmth and you know its the truth
And I feel most at home when I`m alone in the booth
And my flow is unstoppable this boy is the proof
It`s poetry pen and paper my label is showing the fruits
While I grow and improve and their all slow and observant
Exactly what you`ve learnt and your old and thrown at the curve
And if their showing concerns its not cause their caring
It`s just cause they know what they owe in return
Time just feels like its taking me too long
Trials and tribulations are why I grew strong
[Chorus]
[Scribe]
Oh, tell my mother that I love her like no other
I`m holding off in above we made it out of the gutter
Did I stutter ?, I came with the good for my fam
I came from the hood you got no choice but to plan
A way to make it out, somehow we`ll brake away
From these chains like Che Fu we`ll never +Fade Away+
I came to stay made it through the rainy days
Never will I go astray came to take the pain away
Thats why I`m standing up, I`m holding on
I just made it through the storm
By all rights I should be gone
They said I`d never make it, I`ll prove them all wrong
I took the pain now for so long
And I`m still here and its my life and I`m not scared
Against all odds I got here give me your best shot, yeah
Cause I can take it I was destined to make it
I was destined to forever burn in a fire you laid
[Chorus]
