I've been back on my grind, a lot on my mind They tried to stop me, but I gotta shine I made it through worse, they know it's my time I gave it my all, they kept on putting out lies
But they don't know how many nights I prayed To live like this, to be like this They don't know how many nights I prayed To live like this, for it to be like this
Back against the wall, I been a soldier I thought that I told ya That it ain't over 'til he say that it's over I put my faith in the Lord, no four-leaf clover 'Cause it ain't over 'til he say that it's over I had a lot on my shoulders, my demons like boulders Whenever they need you only time that they know ya My heart getting colder as I'm getting older I look at the clock and it ain't getting no slower
You don't know how many nights I prayed To live like this, to be like this You don't know how many nights I prayed To live like this, for it to be like this
