I was born to do
I-I-I was born to do
I was born to do
I-I-I was born to do
I've been sitting right here
Left in this room all through the night
Trying to write every second of my life in this mic
It's been a fight just to get them to listen And pay attention
Punchin' till my knuckles are bleedin'
They made a dent,
not to mention Ain't got a dollar to my name,
just Livin' gig to gang straight,
caught up in the fame
Sleepin' in my claw,
hopin' to sell a disc
Cause you're wantin' it so bad,
you're tastin' it on your lips
Get a pen and paint a picture,
weather pen and pull the ladder
Weather's pitter-patter, people pokin' jabs, oh well it doesn't matter
Cause this hurt won't all be forever
I'm keepin' my head high and hopin' for the better
When everything's down and out
Under the weather and every first round
You're out, stuck in the shredder
Yeah, I claim to have friends
But they're never around so you keep moving on,
one man and a crab
This is my day,
this is my night This is my pain,
this is my life
This is what I was born to do,
yeah I was born to do Every new day,
every new night Every new stage,
every new fight This is what I was born to do,
yeah I was born to do
This is what I'm made for Every single moment that I'm living
I can feel it on the stage floor
You don't know the half of,
half of what I've given
To make it up to this level
Every day at home spittin',
every day alone watchin'
While every row shiftin' and every coal bin
Is gettin' heavy, row slippin' Listen, every day may be your last chance to make it
Every day I'm seein' less cash on the bank slip
Grasping it anxious, rap like it's ancient
Give them something that they've never had
From this basement, show them what you're made of
Just tell them straight up
You can go and take on the world
What you afraid of
Yes, it's right around the bend
It's a first round,
gotta let the rounds begin
No need to count to ten,
we can count to win
And you can count on me to knock out every sound I'm in
This is my day,
this is my night
This is my pain,
this is my life
This is what I was born to do
Yeah, yeah, I was born to do
Every new day, every new night
Every new stage, every new fight This is what I was born to do
Yeah, yeah, I was born to do Yeah!
Fall to my knees every night and I pray
Asking Lord let him hear I got something to say
There's a fear out there and it's coming your way
Don't let it stop you from living for what you were made
It's not a dream, it's a destiny
Blessed is he when the whole world listens to this mess in me
There's a message inside what you get from me
A little life, little love, that's a recipe So when the world is crashing down and you feel the weight on your shoulders
Try to pick it up but you're steady stacking up boulders
Every day's a gift,
never miss it getting older
Blessing in the struggle know that you're just on the road to a life you were born to live
So I wake up every day and just give it what i'm born to give everything in me
And nothing less while this heart's still beating up inside my chest
This is my day.
This is my night.
This is my pain.
This is my life
This is what I was born to do.
Yeah.
Yeah,
I was born to do
Every new day every new night every new stage every new fight fight
This is what I was born to do.
