My back against the wall, 
How many times you gon' fall, Been emulating fake
But when it takes a wrong turn, then who's fault
It's a shit show, I know it's easy strolling on a path paved
Alternatives are dangerous and watching for the traps laid
But where's the fun in safe and eating Edan's grapes
When you're bored over abundance and your life's redundant
Ignoring blessings overwhelmed in judgement, but who the hell's "they"
Mixing wine in shitters with your cell-mate
or married years with no love, wandering life, aimless
or millions in the bank, but trading happiness and friends for fame. It's
As grimy as this game is.. I'm never switching places-
I Rather practice patience, hard work and stoic faces
with Confidence, knowing I'm holding aces... 
They looking for the bluff, the secret to success is simply showing up
You never know enough, but what I love I'm holding tight with passion
Striking the iron like a blacksmith, a master craftsman

<< Hook >>
I love life and I'll be damned if I take it for granted
I go twice as hard to keep anything I been handed
I worked for everything before, after and in between
and Ain't a spot for anybody tryna stop my dream
We bred of struggle, piecing together the puzzle
Every loop knob or slot, stays locked in the hustle
Forging my magnum opus, and I hope it’s everlasting
Potential more that you imagine… A master craftsman
<< Hook >>

Are you really proud of your mirrors reflection
Comfortable in your skin, Draws, losses and the wins or rejections
Anxiety and depression, Is that who you really wanna be
Or should I strive to reach the goals of others, what they want from me?
It’s music from my heart, a love letter to my children
To let em know they strong enough to move mountains and buildings
You ain't feelin that then cool long as you truly being you
This shits a pathway to the soul, I'm an expert with the tools
Hammering iron bright red on the anvil… the sparks I can handle
I’m stopping burning both ends of the candle 
This for the special people in the picture frames on my mantle,
Why I’m going hard in the saddle, tryna set an example
If it’s a gamble, I was literally born for this life
drunk stumbled out of the rumble, Gabriel’s horns and heaven’s lights
Shining my essence bright, drippin grab a cup
How’s it lonely at the top, I’m with my family pourin up

<< Hook >>
I love life and I'll be damned if I take it for granted
I go twice as hard to keep anything I been handed
I worked for everything before, after and in between
and Ain't a spot for anybody tryna stop my dream
We bred of struggle, piecing together the puzzle
Every loop knob or slot, stays locked in the hustle
Forging my magnum opus, and I hope it’s everlasting
Potential more that you imagine… A master craftsman
