Determination

[Hook: Tragic Hero]
That's called determination, you ain't that far away
Don't doubt you'll make it, you ain't got a life to waste
That's called determination
Mm

[Verse 1: Tragic Hero]
Getting older
Never thought that I'd finally pop off
Little colder
Walking water with socks off
Back still three years, pick it up where it dropped off
I'm on it
No wealthy opponent
When I used to be homeless
Used to wanna trap with them and get trapped
Attach myself to the cobweb in the corner
But I know better, I think so
Words sound better when I blink slow
Feet on water, better sink slow
Fighting back when the wind blow
No man is an island
The silence of the Lamb
We're desinged from a pilot
With our diamonds in divine God
Pricked with a Nine Inch nail
Then stiched with a Nylon string
What today gon' bring?
With my heart in my hand, giving up on giving up
Picking up bones that I'm diggin up
And I know I'm no King
Ok, last year almost got divorced
Lost some friends and got no remorse
Swear, I'm always tryna to help somebody but always end up getting no support
Last one to get picked, first one to score
Same shirt every day, back in the drawer
Now I give my son everything that I can
With knives that I'm throwing like an anchor to shore
And that's why I've been on the run
All my chances were five to none
Blowing smoke and not trying lungs
It's what I'm running to, not what I'm running from and that's that

[Hook: Tragic Hero]
That's called determination (termination), you ain't that far away (far away)
Don't doubt you'll make it, you ain't got a life to waste (Don't waste it)
That's called determination, uh huh
That's called determination (Don't waste it)

Um
That's called determination (termination), you ain't that far away (far away)
Don't doubt you'll make it, you ain't got a life to waste (Don't waste it)
That's called determination, uh huh
That's called determination (Don't waste it)

[Verse 2: John Givez]
Last call for termination
Turn your life round and turn me up
Turn your lights down and turn me up
Up some mo' cause, I finally trust
I feel the flow, the furnace is in me
God, where you wanna go send me?
I feel righteous anger with the mightless Sampson
Tell the enemy to come and befriend me
I'm in deep water walking on the ocean floor
Seen it in a dream last night, seen a man telling me that's what I'm 'sposed to do
Live in the age of the "don't you know"
So, don't you know your destiny is desperately depending on the breath you breathe?
You best believe your every word a special seed of life and death
I told the man, "My life is blessed"
Hey world (Hey world, hey world, hey world, hey world)
You'll never take away my pearls (You'll never take away my pearls)
You'll never tell me who I am (You'll never tell me who I am)
I put my life up in His hands
When I'm on stage its traffic jam, I'ma tell 'em where to go
Give me the fire shut up in my bones
Till I cry in my crown and my robe
Tell them what Grammie say about the amazing grace that saves the safest place for my soul
It's in your ears, hear that cry
Have no fear, cause I won't die
I know God and I know time
They that wait will mount on wings to fly
And that's called determination

[Hook: Tragic Hero]
That's called determination (termination), you ain't that far away (far away)
Don't doubt you'll make it, you ain't got a life to waste (Don't waste it)
That's called determination, uh huh
That's called determination (Don't waste it)

Um
That's called determination (termination), you ain't that far away (far away)
Don't doubt you'll make it, you ain't got a life to waste (Don't waste it)
That's called determination, uh huh
That's called determination (Don't waste it)

[Outro:]
Do you believe?
Do you believe?
I reach for the stars, but I'm failing to see (I reach for the stars, but I'm failing to see)
Do you believe it?
Do you believe?

Do you believe?
Do you believe?
I reach for the stars, but I'm failing to see (I reach for the stars, but I'm failing to see)
Do you believe it?
Do you believe?
