I'mma stand right here heart in my hand
Right by your side cleats in the sand
Back to the wall end of the road

If that's what it takes then that's what it takes
If that's what it takes then that's what it takes
If that's what it takes then that's what it takes
If that's what it takes then that's what it takes

Right by your side, cleats in the sand
Back to the wall, end of the road

If that's what it takes then that's what it takes
If that's what it takes then that's what it takes
If that's what it takes then that's what it takes
If that's what it takes then that's what it takes

[Verse 1]
This here is from me to you
And you know it's from the heart this is what I do (yep)
We'll make it through the pain and when things get stressful
Calling on God every prayer is a letter
Thank you! I couldn't have done no better (Na)
Met her on the steps took steps trying to get her (Got her)
Now we take steps to make our family better (Good)
Both hard headed but I never regret it (Never)
For every bad time that I had in my past
Is worth every time that I have with my half (True)
Yeah she can sass but I like it like that
Sometimes I don't even know why she mad
Yin and the yang take the good with the bad
I'm good but feeling even better when she laugh
I'm hood yeah she can already tell that
So I should represent as a man when I say

[Verse 2]
To my family I thank you for all of your patience
All of your love and your prayers that I make it
Times I was alone the knowledge you gave me
What made me move on through the difficult stages
Even though I don't speak I hear what you saying
Take it all in like smoke inhalation
Then determination is made in creation
My game face comes on my strength get amazing
That's when big problems turn to small hurdles
God takes over my mind I get to working
Struggle on a regular basis but it's worth it
Cuz on the other side of the hump is a better person
I don't even try to cause a diversion
Ride for my fam any day close your curtains
I'mma tell you when I'm holding it down
Just strength and the loyalty now
So what I'm saying is

[Hook]
I'mma stand right here heart in my hand
Right by your side cleats in the sand

If that's what it takes then that's what it takes
If that's what it takes then that's what it takes

I'mma stand right here, heart in my hand
Right by your side, cleats in the sand
Back to the wall, end of the road
