Moxie

[Intro]
I put right foot ‘front my left foot
My right foot, left foot ‘front my right (Huh)
I put my hands up, fell down, crawled through, was kicked back
Stood up for my life (Uh)
I stood up for my life, life
I stood up for my life, life
Mmhmm, huh

[Verse 1]
I could give you 12 albums ‘bout my bars and quotes
Another 8 about the shit I didn't have when broke
Another black kid strugglin’ in this half a joke
But even more tellin' a story ‘bout a dash of hope
Sprinkled on the fuck shit like they had laced my view
Seldomly drip on, any shit, they couldn't place my shoe
But if it fits, don’t let it hit, you know the 1 to a 12
They never switch, they been a snitch, just didn't want to with jail
Where I'm from- you do a 16, wholе block is the club
And you can get with that too- not only a drug
The fiеld, shit gets real- hoe huddled with thugs sayin'
“Who the best emcee? Benny, Conway or 7xve?”
Playin' in my times- I rewind a line
Some like fuck it, get high
But these kind- it rhyme (Uh)
I think about my life and what I've been through
You gotta know I'm strong- some shit I conquered probably kill you, for real

[Hook]
I wrote my life down, notebooks filled up with pain
I put the work in, through it all- still I remain
And we was broke, so- gotta know, they'll never change
You was right though, charge it to another page
I wrote my life down, now I’m doin’ stage after stage
And I gotta make a profit because they'll never change
I wrote my life down, now I’m doin' plane after plane
I was right so, charge it to the days I was played, I put the work in

[Verse 2]
The streets needed guidance, the hood needed hope
Say the chick was down bad, I said good- give ‘em both
Had the needle in the tub, when she couldn't get the smoke
Now now it's hood to the club to the [?] to the boat
Truth be told, shit hurt way more than I show it
But thank God I’m a poet, ‘cause I'm never below it
On my last, on my ass- they couldn't help me neither
You can't get a hand out, n***** hand down they sneakers
To get through, I lay my life down- but swear it's the truth
Told the therapist- here I get it, airin' the booth
I stare, I'm furious- where n***** [?] shoot
That's why I carry this air, like I carry the truth
‘Cause shoot, my mom was in the kitchen gamblin' dice
Cousin on stove- that ain't no rice
Bullet in home- duckin' for life handful of nights
Put my wrongs into my rights
I feel enclosed into my light
I put my soul into my fight
Then put my songs into the mic, 7xve

[Hook]
I wrote my life down, notebooks filled up with pain
I put the work in, through it all- still I remain
And we was broke, so- gotta know, they'll never change
You was right though, charge it to another page
I wrote my life down, now I'm doin' stage after stage
And I gotta make a profit because they'll never change
I wrote my life down, now I'm doin' plane after plane
I was right so, charge it to the days I was played, I put the work in

[Outro]
I put right foot ‘front my left foot
My right foot, left foot ‘front my right (Keep goin')
I put my hands up, fell down, crawled through, was kicked back (Huh)
Stood up for my life
I stood up for my life, life (7xve)
I stood up for my life, life
