Money's On Me

Everyone doubted me, but that's funny to me I'd have to die for me to not make it through My journey would be a maze to you That's why all of my money's on me Place your money on me and win double I may have slipped a few times, but you've never seen my pen fumble I was born in a storm and left out in the cold But i always find a way to happiness anytime I'm in trouble Sometimes love only goes one way I learned that when my parents didn't wipe my tears at a young age Took into foster care because alcohol was more important to them than feeding me People try to bring me down, but they don't stand a chance of reaching me I'm not saying I'm more important,but once you no longer care what people think, you can't be touched Take my time because you're more likely to slip up if you rush I realised one thing when i talked about the mistakes i made Sometimes we get lost in it, but other times we create the maze I used to threaten suicide, but no one expected me to try it When i took those pills a few years ago, i had a lot of pain to die with I realized i had a reason to be here when I Survived it It just wasn't my time to meet the angels I wanted to fly with I got up out of the hospital bed and walked out of the hospital door Some realize it straight away, but for others it takes a bit longer At least now i know what we face Obstacles for To help us grow and make us stronger My scars are a sign if strength not weakness I'm like Floyd Mayweather in the ring, I can't be defeated Everyone who doubted me is a dummy to me I’ve overcame everything and I'm still going, that's why my money's on me
