Setting out on an adventure
To battle the clouds
Still got life, no dentures
Fighting the gauntlet
Balls out, no sensors
Fired red blood
Boots on
Trucking through this bullshit mud
Determined body
Invincible mind
my best bud
Can't stop
Won't stop
Closet full of crud
Slash and dash
Victorious flood
My worst enemy was doubt
Dumped that bitch out
Eat shit
So sick of that shout
Ring ring
My final shot
Title bout
I gotta beat this
Clear thoughts
I'm ready
Give it all I got
Clear piss
Sick of that spot
Can't be just another dot
Give up?
This whole life I fought
A must win
Life on the line
This rage, how long has it been
Give it all for my kin
Philosophical sin
Teach life
Guiding strife
Showing what's real
Thoughtful knife
Mission to correct
Politically wrong
Peacefully erect
one two
Are you ready?
Better check
Mental guns up
Hit the deck
