[Verse 1] Used to sleep on the floor Cold tile, no covers Phone full of missed calls But I still fought for others (yeah) Took punches for my crew Got scars I never show Heart heavy like a cinder block Dragging everywhere I go [Chorus] I fell down in the deep, too deep Couldn’t even hear my own heart beat Gave my last breath just to help y’all breathe Left me in the dark, now I can’t see But I see one light, one spark Cutting that hole in the dark Crawling from the edge, I’m standing up Back to the normal, I’m backing it up (woo) [Verse 2] Mama said "boy, you changing" Eyes red, voice shaking Pills on the table Rent due, hands aching I was praying for the block They were praying for my fall Put my name in they mouth While I broke my back for y’all (yeah yeah) Now I’m done dying for people Who would never take a bruise If I gotta bleed tonight It’ll be for the ones I choose [Chorus] I fell down in the deep, too deep Couldn’t even hear my own heart beat Gave my last breath just to help y’all breathe Left me in the dark, now I can’t see But I see one light, one spark Cutting that hole in the dark Crawling from the edge, I’m standing up Back to the normal, I’m backing it up (back, back) [Bridge] Heavy on my chest, but my knees don’t drop Voices in my head saying "please don’t stop" Did time in the pain, that’s the fee, that’s the cost Now I walk like a king through the loss (yeah) If you ride when it’s hard, you my real ones If you hide when it’s hard, you can be gone Gave my all to the fight, now I fight for me And the few who would die just to see me free (hey) [Chorus] I fell down in the deep, too deep Couldn’t even hear my own heart beat Gave my last breath just to help y’all breathe Left me in the dark, now I can’t see But I see one light, one spark Cutting that hole in the dark Crawling from the edge, I’m standing up Back to the normal, I’m backing it up [Outro] Yeah, I slipped, but I still rise Hard life, but I still try Both feet on the ground again Back to the normal, I’m back inside (uh)
