All my life I’ve been running alone
Space and time, I see them come and go
Been fighting from the low, from the low
The pressure takes me to the top
Sticks and stones yeah just keep ‘em up ey
Finna reach what they just cannot touch (cannot touch)
Broken bones yeah I pick ‘em up ey
Shattered dreams will make me never stop, never stop
‘Cause I’ve been doing this
All my life (All my life)
They been tryin' to keep me down (They been tryin' to keep me down)
All this time (All this time)
Never thought I would make it out (Never thought I'd make it out)
They couldn't break me, they couldn't break mе (No, no)
They couldn't take me, thеy couldn't take me (No)
All my life (All my life)
They been tryin' to keep me down (They been tryin' to keep me down)
I decided I had to finish, but the media called me a menace
I done sat with the mayor and politicians, I'm tryna change the image
You can't blame my past no more, I come from the trenches
Some said I'd never be a superstar, but I know I'm different (No, no, no)
I'm The Voice, but the system ain't give me a choice
Know some people that's still undeployed
I know a felon who tryna get FOID
Child support your only support
For a visit, I'm goin' through courts
Went to jail, they was chainin' me up
And you know that I'm famous as fuck
See how you gon' joke about stimulus?
But they really had came in the clutch
I know some kids wanna hurt theyself
Stop tryna take drugs, I refer to myself
Tryna better myself, tryna better my health but
All my life (All my life)
They been tryin' to keep me down (They been tryin' to keep me down)
All this time (All this time)
Never thought I would make it out (Never thought I'd make it out)
They couldn't break me, they couldn't break me (No, no)
They couldn't take me, they couldn't take me (No)
All my life (All my life)
They been tryin' to keep me down (They been tryin' to keep me down, yeah)
주변의 만류에도 불구하고 입수
내게 안 될 거라던 그들의 실수
이젠 그들마저 내 행보에 집중해
네가 바라본 수면 위로 떠오른 내 모습은 거품이 아닌 기름
큰 파도가 오면 그 위로 떠올라 더 높이 서게 될 내 이름
Ain't nobody can stop talking about it
이전과는 달리 a positive topic
의미 없지 딱히 어차피 내 갈 길 가니까지 I'm just walkin'
수중에 날 가두려 했던 지난날의 범인
내 의지에 탔지 잿더미
가랑비가 돼버린 고비
What can I do? Illogical truth
아무것도 없는 현실에서 찾았던 실마리 feels blue
백지 색이었던 내 삶에 어른 냄새가 조금 많이 배서
실패를 겪고 나서 딛고 닦은 눈물 내 trophy였지 계속
쳐다봤던 자리에 서 당당
이럴 때일수록 고개 숙여 calm down
가장자리에 있는 지금에서 다신 가기 싫어 절벽 같던 난간
우린 더 떠올라 like the sun
Nobody can judge us, go back 어서
실패는 없지 다 part of our story
피와 땀으로 축였던 갈증이 좀 해소가 됐지

All my life (All my life)
They been tryin' to keep me down (They been tryin' to keep me down)
All this time (All this time)
Never thought I would make it out (Never thought I'd make it out)
They couldn't break me, they couldn't break me (No, no)
They couldn't take me, they couldn't take me (No)
All my life (All my life)
They been tryin' to keep me down (They been tryin' to keep me down)
