comeback story

i saw the writing on the wall and the message said

i been counted out

slept on and left for dead

my name smeared through the mud

god knows that i tried through the years

all the tears and the blood

the sweat that i put into this game

it was work

it was pain

it was love

it was hate

it was rain

how you were gone what i became and maintain

i see so many die in the same vain

when you young you keep the prize in your eyes

but looking back you can see the rise in demise

the mistakes and misteps the rebirth and regrets

the truth hurts and what ifs the beserks so we just

keep the fire burning and the tires turning

move forward with the lesson reaching higher learning

dreams come through but not for sleepers

i gotta stay focused

work harder

dig deeper

there's still time

they cancel me out but i would never die

i'm vinny paz in the red car with a head scar

coming back to be the champion of the world

i mean i'm just a man and respect 'cause i'm really thorough

'cause good guys finish last and i'm in the back

but since i'm good at math i been getting cash

full tank of gas

racing on the speedway

5 o'clock on sports center

i'm on the replay

lifting weights tryna get in shape

even though i did it late

i'm back

had to make sure the kids was straight

tryna articulate lyrics or digits

you need a spiritual witness

and you can feel it

my spirit is risen outta this fog

clear as a vision

here is the mission

and now it ain't no fairer let's get it

now watch the famous rapper standing over there with the riches

but they barely could spit it so i'll be there in a minute

you know the night is darkest before dawn

everyday another battle and the war's on

yeah i know the fight's long and i'm told that the odds against me

but the naysayers

they have not convinced me yet

i got a new group of haters that i'm pissing off

it's in my jeans

maybe i'm cut from a different cloth

you cross your heart

maybe wish to die

i'm more towards the future with bigger fish to fry

i'm tom brady in the fourth quarter

even through all the crooked lawyers and the court orders

i'm in the source's

father's day with my little daughter

no i ain't getting caught up

i'm selling lot of water

i'm ali in the rumble in the jungle

they counting me out

i'm slept on because i am humble

and yeah i was stumbling but now my fist pumping and i'm back bubbling

that's a rub-a-dib-a-dum just having fun with this
