CHALLENGER'S RAP

• I've been sitting right here
• locked in my room all through the night, trying to write
• every second of my life in this mic
• it's been a fight, just to get 'em to listen and pay attention
• punching 'till my knuckles are bleeding, ain't made dent
• not to mention, ain't got a dollar to my name
• just living gig to gig, straight caught up in the fame
• sleeping in my car, hoping to sell a disc
• 'cause you're wanting it so bad you're tasting it on your lips
• get a pen and paint a picture
• of the pain and pull the ladder
• of this pitter patter, people poking jabs
• oh well, it doesn't matter
• 'cause this hurt won't all be forever
• I'm keeping my head high and hoping for the better
• when everything's down and out, under the weather
• and every first round you're out, stuck in the shredder
• yeah, claim to have friends but they're never around
• so you keep moving on, one man and a crowd
•  
• Chorus
•  
• this is my day, this is my night
• this is my pain, this is my life
• this is what I was born to do
• I was born to do
• every new day, every new night
• every new stage, every new fight
• this is what I was born to do
• I was born to do
•  
• Verse 2
•  
• this is what I'm made for
• every single moment that I'm living I can feel it on the stage floor
• you don't know the half of half of what I've given
• to make it up to this level, every day at home spitting
• every day alone wishing, while every roads shifting
• and every cold wind is getting heavy, road slipping
• every day, might be your last chance to make it
• every day I'm seeing less cash on the bank slip
• grasp and get anxious, rap like it's ancient
• give them something that they've never had from this basement
• show them what you're made of, just tell 'em straight up
• you can go and take on the world, what you afraid of?
• yes, it's right around the bend
• it's a first round knockout, let the rounds begin
• no need to count to ten, we can count the win
• and you can count on me to knock out every sound I'm in
•  
• Verse 3
•  
• fall to my knees every night and I pray
• asking Lord let 'em hear, I got something to say
• there's a fear out there and it's coming your way
• don't let it stop you from living for what you were made
• it's not dream it's destiny, blessed is he
• when this whole world listens to this mess in me
• there's a message inside, what you get from me
• a little life, little love, that's the recipe
• so when the world is crashing down and you feel the weight on your shoulders
• try to pick it up but you're steady stacking up boulders
• every days a gift, never miss it, getting older
• blessing in the struggle know that you're just on the road to
• a life you were born to live
• so I wake up every day and just give it what I'm born to give
• everything in me, and nothing less
• while this hearts still beating up inside my chest
