I read the rules before I broke 'em

I learned to read the map before I hit the road

But I'd rather lose a fight than miss the war
Cadd9
And I ain't wishing competition or fishin' for it
Em D
I'm just living in the system, conditions are poor

I've been lost in the rhythm and misinformed
G
Too many late nights hittin' the liquor store
Cadd9
Too many bad decisions, half assed attempts
Em D
No sweat, no fear, no blood, no tears

I go hard and I ain't makin' up no excuse
G
I'm overdue, I don't do what I'm supposed to do
Cadd9
Cause you can think about it man, we're supposed to lose
Em D
It ain't all picture perfect, ocean views
G
No, I was a first class rookie,

Takin' out bullies in my all black hoodie

Get it or forget it, cause poof, I'm outta here

I've been high and I've been real low

I've been beaten and broken but I healed though

So many ups and downs, roughed up & clowned

We all got problems, but we deal though
G
I'm tryin' to do better now, find my inner peace
G
Learn my art form, and find my energy
Cadd9
When my backs on the wall, I don't freeze up
Em D
Nah, I find my inner strength and I re-up
Em
I know I've never been the smartest or wisest
Cadd9
But I realize what it takes
G
Never dwell in the dark cause the sun always rises
D
But gotta make it to the next day
Em
It's a feeling that you get in your lungs when you run
Cadd9
Like you're runnin' outta air and your breath won't come
G
And you uh wheezin', gotta keep it movin'
D (pause)
Find that extra (uhn) and push your way through it

I've had bad habits but I dropped em

I've had opponents but I knocked them out

I climbed the highest mountains

I Swum the coldest seas

Nobody's gonna hear a sound
