[Intro]
*crickets chirping*
Ooh, Yeah, yeah, yeah
(woo)

[Chorus] - Mary Fierbaugh
On this war path fightin' for the finer things
It's a struggle tryna wrestle with the pride in me
I won't die (won't die), I'm so dry (so dry)
It's a short life (short life)
Don't you know it blows by (bye, bye)

[Verse1] - Kamban
You been workin' you been slaving
Tryna keep up with the payments
Tryna keep up with the world
Hiding that you worn out from the anguish
Got a torn smile from the pain but
You gon' force out another day 'cause
If you stop now and you drop down
Tryna gain rest "you complacent"
And the world's tellin' you to face it
And you gettin' by with relationships
Gettin' high off the paycheck
Temporary feeling 'til it's wasted (yup)
Ain't no time for no breaks yet
On that finish line is when you'll take one
'til you turn 'round and you find out
That your life may have been a fake one (man)
[Bridge] - Mary Fierbaugh
'cause you been workin' and slaving
Tryna keep up with the payments
Tryna keep up with relationships and the weight gets
Heavy don't know if you'll make it
But you won't die (won't die) just hold tight (hold tight)
And though it's war time He gon' be on your side

[Pre-Chorus] - Kamban
I don't want to die and face God
Have Him say to me I "waste time"
Lookin' back on my whole life
All the moments that I could've made time
For the broken hearted, ain't no ambition
That could top love for the fam, that could
Justify all this time spent
Tryna get cake, can't take it with you (woo)

[Chorus] - Mary Fierbaugh
On this war path fightin' for the finer things
It's a struggle tryna wrestle with the pride in me
I won't die (won't die), I'm so dry (so dry)
It's a short life (short life)
Don't you know it blows by (bye, bye)
On this war path fightin' for the finer things
It's a struggle tryna wrestle with the pride in me
I won't die (won't die), I'm so dry (so dry)
It's a short life (short life) don't you know
It blows by (bye, bye, bye, bye)
[Verse2] - Kamban
I ain't lying I get tired
I gotta confess, get it off the chest
I been fightin' my desire
For the spotlight, Mr. Hyde and Dr. Jek'
Sunday morning got the fire
Friday morning high 'cause I just got the check
I been kinda sketchy, I just left the church
Ten minutes later I forgot the message (I forgot the message)
I'ma lay it all out for you dog, how can I express it
I am not sayin' I am not repentant
I just know I'm probably not what you expected (woo)
We makin' diamonds under pressure
Yeah I'm depressed but ain't got no time to settle
Hear 'em talkin' all these thoughts inside my mental
Ain't no option but to block 'em, I don't stress it

[Bridge] - Mary Fierbaugh
'cause you been workin' and slaving
Tryna keep up with the payments
Tryna keep up with relationships and the weight gets
Heavy don't know if you'll make it
But you won't die (won't die) just hold tight (hold tight)
And though it's war time He gon' be on your side

[Pre-Chorus] - Kamban
Look, I been dealing with some inner struggles
I know 'em well guess I get accustomed
You can hear 'em all the crickets chirping
When the tension's building
Bet that you could cut it
If it's do or die I'ma do it buddy
But this ain't all about the music, money
Or a new upcoming rapper doin' numbers
If it ain't Christ, tell 'em, "you in trouble" (woo)
[Chorus] - Mary Fierbaugh
On this war path fightin' for the finer things
It's a struggle tryna wrestle with the pride in me
I won't die (won't die), I'm so dry (so dry)
It's a short life (short life)
Don't you know it blows by (bye, bye)
On this war path fightin' for the finer things
It's a struggle tryna wrestle with the pride in me
I won't die (won't die), I'm so dry (so dry)
It's a short life (short life) don't you know
It blows by (bye, bye, bye, bye)
