[Intro]
Breathtaking Beats!

[Verse 1: Bure]
When I was five years old
I was always taught to do just what I'm told
Always felt like I was being controlled
Without further ado, let the story unfold
It was just one day, the skies were grey
And I didn't wanna stay outside to play
So with no delay, I went away
To go and pray, I did it my way
Enemies, had a lot of enemies
Had a lot of people tryna drain me of my energy
Fighting, screaming, kicking, I'm going HAM
"It was all his fault, don't blame me ma'am"
Started crying, wouldn't talk to nobody
I know everybody needs somebody
Logic, lemme tell everybody
That tried to bring me down, turn the tables around

[Hook: Marka]
It was all bad
Before I found my path
Hope was all that I had
But I made it out of them trenches like I should
Doing things I never thought I could
Making moves I never thought I would
(And even though I did it)
Even though I did it
They still try out trying to break me

[Verse 2: Bure]
When I was ten years old
I was always taught to do just as I'm told
Always felt like I was being controlled
Without further ado, let the story unfold
In Douala, I felt much smaller
Always tryna grind for a silver dollar
I was always tryna be a top scholar
Making foes even though we wore the same collar
I didn't wanna do it, they always pressuring me
My gullibility, they always measuring me
Always pestering me, always censoring me
Still got some hope left in me
Still got some GOAT left in me
I swung, I got in trouble
I got sent home on the double
All these thoughts I'm tryna juggle
Welcome to my life struggle

[Hook: Marka]
It was all bad
Before I found my path
Hope was all that I had
But I made it out of them trenches like I should
Doing things I never thought I could
Making moves I never thought I would
(And even tho I did it)
Even tho I did it
They still try out trying to break me
I know they're fighting now trying break me
All they really want to is to break me
(All they really want to is to break me)

[Verse 3: Bure]
17 years old
I was always to taught to do just as I'm told
I still feel like I am being controlled
Without further ado, let the story unfold
My one goal is to finish and let my soul not be diminished
By Badman
Power is a wonderful thing, ain't it?
The joy that it brings is great, ain't it?
I wouldn't know
You ain't give me time to grow, it's time to show
I gotta voice here, you wanna say something to me, please don't tell one of my boys here
For five years you've been leading me to the path
Doing crazy shit like a psychopath
Badman, boy I see you faking
I see you in the grass, looking like you snaking
Take this day, take it as a token
Keep bringing hate 'cause it'd be outspoken
I know it's me, that you've been provokin'
But I got the spirit that will never be broken

[Hook: Marka]
It was all bad
Before I found my path
Hope was all that I had
But I made it out of them trenches like I should
Doing things I never thought I could
Making moves I never thought I would
(And even tho I did it)
Even tho I did it
They still try out trying to break me
I know they're fighting now trying break me
All they really want to is to break me
But I made it out of them trenches like I should
Doing things I never thought I could
Making moves I never thought I would
(And even tho I did it)
Even tho I did it
They still try out trying to break me
I know they're fighting now trying break me
All they really want to is to break me
(All they really want to is to break me)
