Hold My Own

It looks like the system tries to hold me down

But guess what? I ain't fucking around

You can't deny the pride that I have shown

I grind hard and I must hold my own

Coming from the gutter it's so hard to get ahead

Taking no one's bullshit and working for my bread

The future don't look positive, the rat race holds me down

What a struggle keeping two feet on the ground

Someday I'll have my peace of mind

I'll keep fighting, one day I will find

A decent life where self-respect is shown

Until then I must hold my own

Always under pressure I take things as they come

Always looking up, look out for number one!

My views got you in check I never back down

I pack a hard punch and I always stand my ground

I will not back down

Holding my own, I stand my ground

You will not break me

My belief is my way, can't you see?

Coming from the gutter it's so hard to get ahead

Taking no one's bullshit and working for my bread

The future don't look positive, the rat race holds me down

What a struggle keeping two feet on the ground

Never back down!
