Stand My Ground

I don't really recognize geniuses All I see is eliminated weaknesses Hard work that improves broken sequences Focus on the good, no grievances Dig deep, tell me what your definition is Stand tough, show me what your vision is When life takes away your innocence Can you remain virtuous instead of villainous Even if a dream is improbable Doesn't mean that your dream is impossible For your destiny you are responsible Simply remove all the obstacles When it comes to work I never mess around For my family I would lay my body down I could face any challenge that happens now Cause I know myself and I stand my ground Stand my ground, do my thing I don't need permission Stand my ground, do my thing Following my vision Stand my ground, do my thing Dealing with the cards that I been dealt Stand my ground, do my thing I believe in myself My thoughts, my reasons, I'm faithful to my values I know hard work pays off, I've seen dreams come true You can't make life move faster than it's moving Patience will make sure that your life is improving In school they teach a lesson and then you're given a test In life you get the test first and from it learn your lesson Always give your best and never forget That sometimes the worst things turn out to be blessings People want it easy, they take it easy Giving themselves measly goals to be achieving Never really keeping the promises they're speaking Falling for the easiest options but not me Stand my ground, do my thing I don't need permission Stand my ground, do my thing Following my vision Stand my ground, do my thing Dealing with the cards that I been dealt Stand my ground, do my thing I believe in myself I remember a time with no internet People helped each other for no benefit We did the right thing 'cause it was the right thing Nowadays that's rarer than being struck by lightning And I know that it's hard to feel useless In a world that is sometimes ruthless I can tell you that there have been mornings When I woke up covered in blood and in bruises When I feel like the world is against me When I feel like I'm running on empty When I feel like my mind isn't working When all that I feel is uncertain and hurting When I get scared and I'm covered in shivers When I start doubting that I can deliver When I'm so tired and craving the big sleep Here's what I do, I just dig deep and... Stand my ground, do my thing I don't need permission Stand my ground, do my thing Following my vision Stand my ground, do my thing Dealing with the cards that I been dealt Stand my ground, do my thing I believe in myself
