Must Believe
Never will I ever
Let my dreams and my hopes stop
Always keep my head up
Even when my guards drop
Making my way through
Everything I lack
Just a southern boy
From the southside of the track
Been to hell and back
But I extinguished the fire
Rose above it all
Standing on ground much higher
Deflected all the drama
And fought off all the hate
Got the strength from my momma
Walking with a clean slate
I'm not the average person
Who grabs what life brings
I'd rather make my way
And live large like the kings
I know where I've been
Don't wish it on a single soul
Think about the past
I was out of control
You must see the error
And the consequences
Of every action taken
Trust you heart and your senses
