Hurdles

It's such a cold world, ain't it?

When every dream you have is starting to look tainted

Moms ain't around, she struggles to keep the light on

Them second hand clothes to try on

Toes sticking out the front of your shoes

And all your friends keep laughing all the time but not you

It seems like a thousand years

Must have cried like a thousand tears, but now I'm here

And God knew where to put me

Sh*t was not sweet, no milk and no cookies

Schools said he ain't worth the trouble

So I made a few plans and sold a couple grams

Lost a lot of close people on the way

Memories were celebrated the same day

That's how it goes

I'm in the mud trying to find a rose

So I'm gonna keep

I keep jumping over hurdles, hurdles

I just keep jumping over hurdles, hurdles

Endlessly, I'm just so determined

I won't let go, I keep jumping over hurdles

Make it eventually

I never thought I'd see this

Had them cuff prints embedded in both of my damn wrists

Came from the bottom like I never stood a chance

Went from hugging the block to hearing the crowds chant

And now they talking about the old me and miss him

How we could have made it together but they would never listen

I kept swimming upstream

With a pocket full of nickels and a fist full of dreams

See the clouds go away, my days get sunny

They might have took a shot but they ain't take sh*t from me

Standing on my own two, roaming with the wrong crew

Showed how to move when that paper turned funny

But it's all love, I know I'm right where I need to be

And dedicate this to those who never believed in me

Yeah, to those who never believed

I keep jumping over hurdles, hurdles

I just keep jumping over hurdles, hurdles

Endlessly I'm just so determined

I won't let go I keep jumping over hurdles

Make it eventually

Ups and downs

I'm gonna keep on jumping until I can't touch the ground

I know it's hard but I made it so far, I've made it so far

And I don't know, no

Where I'm gonna go, I keep

Jumping over hurdles, hurdles

I just keep jumping over hurdles, hurdles

Endlessly, I'm just so determined

I won't let go, I keep jumping over hurdles

Make it eventually

I jumping over hurdles, hurdles I jumping over hurdles, hurdles

I jumping over hurdles
