Powerful

Verse 1 -

You know that feeling when you at the ropes
Sense of losing hope lack control when its needed most
On the verge letting go
Grip loosens up minds still tries to hold
Electric pulse surges through your nerves all of time has froze
You look around is this the best way of going out
Is it to late for fighting now
Will they say that you did what counts
Or will they say you took the cowards route
With no chance to ever stand your ground
Like losers aren't allowed a mouth
Isn't that poetic every bit of good you've done
No longer gets the credit
All the leverage that you had becomes
Nothing but a joke but still inspiring to some
Yet you don't even notice
Care to much about what doubters in the crowd would want
Truth is that you shouldn't even bow to one
There karmas bound to come
Just when they think their powers at the highest sum
Lighting strikes them down circuits frying up
Life flashes through their eyes proves they got no right to judge

When life tries to bring you down
Just know that you're powerful
Let nothing break you down
Stand up for yourself
Even if its getting rough
You can't let them take your ground now
Even when you think you're on your own
Just know that you're powerful
Let nothing break you down
Stand up for yourself
Even if its getting rough
You can't let them take your ground now

Verse 2 -

Hip-Hop has always been my outlet
If it wasn't for my mom who knows when i would of ever found it
It made me feel powerful but it also kept me grounded
Was able to be different around people i was surrounded by
Countless times I would cower cry
Absolutely broken deep down inside
Tired of the yelling raise the volume high
Just to get lost in the rhymes that devoured life
Getting away from reality
Teaching how me breathe
Showing me goals that ill achieve
Believed in me before I even started believing in me (you)
Helped guide me to be the person that i needed to be
First time I ever felt that I was finally free from the chains
Of my own restraints eventually built the strength
To stand up to my fears controlling every move id make
Yeah same reason why ill never lose my faith
Even

Verse 3 -

We' re living in country meant to be united
But seems every day that we're growing more divided
Doesn't help when people claiming they care are always silent
Might not know everything but I rather go out trying
And say my piece even if it don't change a thing
You may or may not agree
Yet my faith in God gave me the faith in power of the people
Who are proud to speak
Standing for what you truly believe is right
Well turns out that means
