[Verse 1]

Been through some days I don’t talk about much,
Had to learn real young how to live without much,
Seen a smile disappear when the pressure got rough,
Still I woke up every morning saying life ain’t done.

I had dreams in my pocket, had pain in my chest,
Made mistakes on the road, I ain’t claiming I’m blessed,
But I’m still right here, so I’m giving my best,
‘Cause a man ain’t measured by the times he gets stressed.

I got family to feed, got some people depending,
Got some wounds from the past that I’m slowly still mending,
And the world going crazy like the madness ain’t ending,
But I’m trying to bring some light everywhere that I’m stepping.

If my brother feeling low, I’ma tell him, “Stand tall,”
If my people need a hand, I’ma answer that call,
I ain’t saying I’m a hero, I got problems and all,
But I’m happy to be here — man, I’m grateful through it all.

[Chorus]

I’m just happy to be here, still breathing today,
Had some storms in my life, but I found me a way,
If I eat, then my people gotta eat off the plate,
We been down long enough — now we changing our fate.

Yeah, I’m happy to be here, let the whole world know,
Life gets crazy sometimes, that’s just how this thing goes,
Can’t control every chapter, I just play my role,
It is what it is — keep your heart, keep your soul.

[Verse 2]

I don’t need a perfect life, I just need some peace,
Put some food on the table, watch the family eat,
See my people doing better, put some hope in the streets,
That’s the kind of little victory that means something to me.

I remember being down when the road looked closed,
When you’re carrying a weight that nobody knows,
You can laugh with the world while you’re fighting your ghosts,
Then you learn every scar got a story it holds.

So I’m done looking backward like I’m living in regret,
Every loss taught a lesson, every fall built a step,
I got people that I love, I got promises left,
And as long as I’m breathing, I ain’t finished yet.

Maybe life ain’t fair — yeah, we already know,
Some get sunshine early, some get rain on the road,
But wherever I’m headed, I’m bringing my folks,
If I make it through the door, I’m holding it open.

[Chorus]
