As a kid, Momma told me sky's the limit

Til' you hit it like Ken Griffey to the fences

Out the park, hit and run, that's my drive

C G

It's a vibe, been that way all my life

I shut it down, when I shine with the crew

Yeah I ride with the crew

Gave my life to the truth, testify

Walk on water like the Son of man

Understand I'll never drown

Take a hit and never quit

Might be down but never out

There are days that I fail

And the trains off the rail

Through the pain we prevail

Tell 'em you just gotta live

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Even when my light burns low

I can never lose my hope

I've been down this road before

Now I know which way to go

Ain't nobody out here more like You

And with you the broken molded

Ain't no more like you that for sure

Am C

I can't drop out like the top down on the coop

Tell 'em watch out when I walk out, make 'em move

Sunday morning with my hands up

Like they got the handcuffs

Searching for some answers

Am C

Since Momma passed the cancer and my sister left Seattle with a one way ticket home

Hope she holding Chase and teaching him to speak samoan

Gotta keep it going

Yeah that's all they told me

Tell him you can make when you know the one and only

[Pre-Chorus]

Burning bright beyond the fire

You were born to win, yeah, you're a fighter

Don't let your light just fade away

[Chorus 2]
