Standing On My Own Two Feet

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Yeah

Verse 1

Woke up to the weight of another day

Bills stacked high like a wall I can't climb

Mama called crying said she's proud of me

I told her hold on we gon be alright

Every scar on my body got a story

Every story got a lesson I ain't learned yet

Late nights staring at the ceiling fan

Wondering if the pressure gon bend me or build me

Chorus

Life can make you or break you

That's the choice that they never gave me

Life can make you or break you

So I'm standing on my two feet

(Standing on my two feet)

Life can make you or break you

Ain't no running from the heavy load

Life can make you or break you

So I keep walking down this road

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

Keep walking

Oh-oh

Keep walking

Verse 2

Lost a brother to the corner last November

Still hear his laugh in the back of my mind

Told myself I'd never let the streets claim me

Now I'm grinding for the ones I left behind

Some days the mirror feels like an enemy

Some days I win and some days I just survive

But I'm still here breathing still here dreaming

That's the only proof I need to feel alive

Chorus

Life can make you or break you

That's the choice that they never gave me

Life can make you or break you

So I'm standing on my two feet

(Standing on my two feet)

Life can make you or break you

Ain't no running from the heavy load

Life can make you or break you

So I keep walking down this road

Bridge

They say pressure makes diamonds

Pressure makes a man

Pressure made me colder

But it made me understand

I could fold I could crumble

I could fall I could fade

But I'm built from the struggle

I ain't never been afraid

Chorus

Life can make you or break you

That's the choice that they never gave me

Life can make you or break you

So I'm standing on my two feet

(Standing on my two feet)

Life can make you or break you

Ain't no running from the heavy load

Life can make you or break you

So I keep walking down this road

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

Keep walking

Oh-oh

Keep walking
