[Verse 1]
Took a lap through my hometown
Knowin' what I know now
Turns out you never really know what's up
Till it really goes down
Thinking about love I lost
Finish lines I crossed
I'ma back deck with a mind full of thoughts and a drink on the rocks
Everything that made me here, remember thinking 'bout a whole lot of maybes here
Month after month, song after song
Hopin' maybe this will be my year
But it all came together in the end
Thought it was a phase, then I turned it to a trend
Look at how I made beginnings off a couple different ends
These eyes seen a lot; I'm lookin' through a different lens
Moved to the city to do what I gotta do
Haven't stopped for a second, I've been steady makin' moves
Thought about what I'd say to a younger I
Say, "She ain't worth the time, but she'll be worth the lines," singin'

[Chorus]
Life is a battlefield, you don't have to cry (No, no, no)
Just keep your head up, the sun is drying your eyes (No, no, no)
Life is a battlefield, you don't have to cry (No, no, no)
Just keep your head up, the sun is drying your eyes
[Verse 2]
This a new day; this a brand new life
You ain't gotta ask how we did so right
Crack a brew, take a shot to a brand new vibe
Used to see rough roads; it's a brand new ride
Same old kid with a soul so lit that the whole damn world couldn't sleep on it
Present so present, living like a adolescent, but
Times I've seen had to add a couple lessons
Feelin' like a veteran when I hit the mic now (Now)
You ain't gonna get it if you don't by now (Nah)
Flex on anybody looking for the competition
Talk about another style, chance's I already did it
Your game ain't real, like you busy playing quidditch
You ain't with it, you in scrimmage; you ain't really makin' killin's
Send it to the last innin'
Are you down to run the play?
Tell anybody throwing shade, "The sun is on the way!"

[Chorus]
Life is a battlefield, you don't have to cry (No, no, no)
Just keep your head up, the sun is drying your eyes (No, no, no)
Life is a battlefield, you don't have to cry (No, no, no)
Just keep your head up, the sun is drying your eyes
