Peaks and Valleys
[Verse 1]
Some days I feel like this life's a test
Swimming  the Atlantic with icy breath
A  few words in, I gotta write the rest
No problem, I write so precise with text
What's next for me? They keep askin' that!
Life  changes; you gotta be an acrobat
To  jump hoops and dodge what life tosses at
Us humans that move all across the map
Like  little figurines on a gameboard
We all got reasons that we play for
We need enemies to keep us all grateful
They want what we have, and they know they can't take it
Consider  it flattery; this song's a canopy
For me to paint through my brains anatomy
And that'll be a way for you all to see things
Through my voice and the sound, the beat brings

[Hook]
Peaks and valleys, everybody who's strugglin'
Keep your chin up; we gotta keep hustlin'
Nobody knows what we're capable of
It's a hundred percent true nobody but us
Peaks and valleys, everybody who's strugglin'
Keep your chin up; we gotta keep hustlin'
Nobody knows what we're capable of
It's a hundred percent true nobody but us
[Verse 2]
A while back, I was offered a six-figure
Contract hell, yeah, never had bigger
We revised the fine print, legal fees
And then I signed it; I felt it was meant to be
Told my peeps they were pumped, so glad for me
Heavy weight to release financially
Had a supper and told my whole family
Everybody was happy, we sold the Jeep
In preparation, this was a tour contract
The bus, the hotels, and all of that
And then one day there in the bank I sat
Got an email with the subject in caps
Cease and desist it was legal notice
To notify that the tour might be bogus
And that this man had defrauded investors
Another broken promise to pile up the pressure

[Hook]
Peaks and valleys, everybody who's strugglin'
Keep your chin up; we gotta keep hustlin'
Nobody knows what we're capable of
It's a hundred percent true nobody but us
Peaks and valleys, everybody who's strugglin'
Keep your chin up; we gotta keep hustlin'
Nobody knows what we're capable of
It's a hundred percent true nobody but us
[Verse 3]
Hello?
Am I talking to fans or just rambling?
There are times when I feel inadequate
The music game's rough; I can barely handle it
Tryna' live my dream, but it feels like I'm gambling
Every day I'm battling back to keep the walls up
We have to answer destiny when it calls us
And my phone is ringing off of the damn hook
I swear to God I'm the one, take a good look
At this face, I invigorate with inner strength
I got my share of problems still I'm giving thanks
For this heart I was giving, I'm a living case
Of never quitting, keep running till the ribbon breaks
At any pace, we all face the peaks
And the valleys life puts beneath our feet
But the trick is to limit damage in the lows
And accelerate during high points, ya know?

[Hook]
Peaks and valleys, everybody who's strugglin'
Keep your chin up; we gotta keep hustlin'
Nobody knows what we're capable of
It's a hundred percent true nobody but us
Peaks and valleys, everybody who's strugglin'
Keep your chin up; we gotta keep hustlin'
Nobody knows what we're capable of
It's a hundred percent true nobody but us
