Look, let’s be real for a minute
They say "hard work pays off," but that's just a fairy tale
Life throws a million things you just can't control
But listen up, it ain't over yet
Yeah, you out there, struggling in the dark
Just listen to this
I don’t give a damn about what they say
Counted the nights I bowed my head in the rain
Tasting the dirt, they laughed at my pain
But I stand back up, breaking the chain
'Cause I see my family's faces in my mind
That's the only reason I grind
Maybe it's all for nothing, who knows?
The anxiety creeps in, heavy and cold
But if I let go of the line right now
The future I wanted will slip from my hold
Endless patience, day after day
Wasting away in the games they play
It’s okay to stop and breathe for a while
You’ve done enough, just keep that smile
Hold on tight till the light shines through!
Walk through the mud in your dirty shoes!
Even if we're stuck at the bottom tonight
Our fire inside is burning so bright!
I won't just tell you to "hang in there"
But I'm standing right here, showing I care
Just gotta endure till the dawn breaks clean
Survival is the biggest victory we've seen
The smart guys talk from way up high
Telling me how to live my life
Shut the hell up, I'm fighting to breathe
This mud in my veins is the pride I need
Walking this town where the future is blind
No one knows what we're hoping to find
But I'll hold my ground, I'll never retreat
Until the meaning of this pain is complete
If your knees start shaking under the weight
Lean on my shoulder before it's too late
It’s okay to stop and breathe for a while
You’ve done enough, just keep that smile
You’ve done enough... just hold on
Hold on tight till the light shines through!
Walk through the mud in your dirty shoes!
Even if we're stuck at the bottom tonight
Our fire inside is burning so bright!
I won't just tell you to "hang in there"
But I'm standing right here, showing I care
Just gotta endure till the dawn breaks clean
Survival is the biggest victory we've seen
Take a breath, then let's walk again
Don't push yourself too hard
Till the light finally hits us
Let's stay alive in the mud, together
