CHALLENGER'S RAP

• The business of beauty isn’t a natural model;
• It’s built to be the opposite of the cultures we topple.
• These magazines got you caught in a hustle,
• Cause when you starve yourself, your body doesn’t burn fat,
• it burns muscles.You know them days you just got the blues,
• All stressed and depressed from just watchin’ the news?
• No matter what good you do, it seems you always get screwed.
• Got you caught up in your feelings, now you off in the mood.
• Shake that attitude and do what you can,
• Set a couple goals, follow through with your plans.
• Time waits for no man and tomorrow’s not promised,
• So if she’s still alive, shoot a call to your mama.
• Cause the fighting and the drama, it’s just not worth it,
• Nobody’s perfect, ain’t none of us worthless.
• We all got a place, and we all got a purpose.You’ve got to realize
• that the world’s a test,
• You can only do your best and let Him do the rest.
• You’ve got your life, and got your health,
• So quit procrastinating and push it yourself.
• I remember when I fell from my first bike:
• There were no ‘Are you okays?’ and rarely ‘Are you alrights?’
• Just dirt in my pockets, handful of gravel…
• That’s when I realized that getting up is only half the battle
• Everybody’s got opinions on the way you’re livin’,
• But see, they can’t fill your shoes.Lookin’ out at the world through my window pane,
• Every day has many colors ‘cause the glass is stained.
• Everything has changed but remains the same,
• So once again the mirror raised.
• And I see myself as clear as day,
• And I am goin’ to the limits of my ultimate destiny,
• Feeling as though somebody somewhere is testin’ me.
• He who sees the end from the beginning of time
• Looking forward through all the ages:
•  
• {verse 2}
• Our freedom of speech is freedom or death,
• We got to fight the powers that be!It’s kinda hard bein
• humble in the belly of the struggle,
• Doin things that probably get you in trouble.Damn right I like the life I live,
• Cause I went from negative to positive.
• They smile in my face, behind my back they talk trash,
• Mad and stuff because they don’t have cash.If you for real
• then you know the deal,
• I do or die, and I never ran, never will.
• My life is violent but violence is life,
• Peace is a dream, reality is a knife.
• I never cared, I was careless,
• Fear bein afraid or maybe I’m afraid to be fearless.
• You were perfect before you went on a diet,
• You was way thicker, you think I don’t remember?
• Shit…the magazines got to ya head…
• Or fear bein’ fearless but fearful,You gotta try hard to be yourself…
• Cause you can’t go to heaven being anybody else.
