Pick yourself up, homie, what you trippin’ for?

I know they laughing at ya, but fuck them bitches though

Get on your feet, my g, we got some work to do

Man, I’m just telling you the truth, ain’t nothing personal

See I done known you all my life and I care for you

I know you hurt inside, but man, I’m hurting too

This stage is temporary, you’re getting comfortable

Plus some drugs got you feeling indestructible

But time is undefeated, I highly doubt you’ll beat it

So focused on your past, you’re blind to what’s proceeding

So look around ‘cause this game is so cold

Time flies, man, your babies ain’t babies no mo, nah

They growing up without you, but man, they need your guidance

You can’t just talk about it, you gotta be about it

So get up off that floor, it’s time to stand again

You’ve been that man before, so be that man again

Champions rise and losers hide

Losing my mind ‘cause I refuse to abide

Used to be bleak but now my future seems bright

But take a stand and you’ll be fully chastised

I’m fed up

I’m full of pain but I gotta maintain

I’m fed up

But I’m cool, I can take it, I’m immune to the hatred

We know the world is so underhanded

No compassion, no love and no understanding

Stop complaining 'bout words that people done said before

Sometimes we need to hear things that we already know

(Why?) As a reminder (As what?) As a reminder (oh)

So anytime you get lost, it can help us re-find ya or refine ya ‘cause this system can blind ya

If you fall out of touch with The Divine One who designed ya

The world is full of folks and you playing victim ain’t new

Seven billion people, you think all of ‘em picking on you

Punking out is a category that’s set for cowards

Put your complaint up in this box with all the rest of ours

You ain’t knowing God gave us all special powers

Able to leap over the haters and deflect the doubters

How come it’s just the negative roads we like to travel?

You’re grown, stop asking other grownups to fight your battles

Champions rise and losers hide

Losing my mind ‘cause I refuse to abide

Used to be bleak but now my future seems bright

But take a stand and you’ll be fully chastised

I’m fed up

I’m full of pain but I gotta maintain

I’m fed up

But I’m cool, I can take it, I’m immune to the hatred
