I'm finally on the right track, kick it like a hi-hat
Give it like the giving tree, take the shirt off my back
Life is so different now, at first it wasn't comfortable
Looking at the walls, feeling like I should punch a hole
Never been there, then I guess you never know
Breaking point, you never been there, you'll never grow
Now I got my arms up, screaming on this rollercoaster
Life took me on, emotional, that's how you know I'm sober
Pushing for my family, fighting for my sanity
Dominate my lane, bro, I guess that's just the man in me
Now I'm living in a fantasy, build myself a dynasty
Act like a pro, even pitching for the minor leagues
Live life with a purpose, quit searching for the finer things
Getting some success, I learned to celebrate it privately
Running like a marathon, eating like a megalodon
Self-development, I rap on every beat, you let me on a hunt
Striving for that breaking point, know I
Push through the hard times, right when it feels good, right when it feels bad
Push to the next kick, offer me less than it's off with your head
Yet I digress, I've held the pain bars close enough to gather in depth
Every word that I stretch, contains my real life
Perhaps I only got sober just to spit on the mic
We elevate the protagonist, kept his faith
Strength to move on, move forward every second and minute
Me and Manny share the stage now, poverty lifted
Us to new heights, refuse the old life
We encourage community, judge granted immunity
Keep writing what's soon to be
Far away from you, far away from you, away from you
So far away from you, music was the escape but now it's just our embrace
Striving for that breaking point, know I
Push through the hard times, right when it feels good, right when it feels bad
Push to the next kick, offer me less than it's off with your head
Pushed till I'm buzzing through, remember when I was a fool
Opened up my mind, started searching for something new
Approaching burnout, gotta kick it up another notch
Started out with nothing, just pretended that it was a lot
Pushed through adversity, hard knock university
Try to lift the world up, something like I'm Hercules
Breaking out these chains, bro, not even the same flow
Emotional regulation, trying not to let the flame go
Keeping a hundred like a big-face Ben
And I could never break bread with a two-faced friend
And I ain't never saying never but deuces
I'll see you later, I'm putting it back together
From pieces that we created
Now I'll acknowledge my flaws, unhinged
Defeat gone, these feet we stand on
Ascend to find truth
But pointless when I'm tethered to a person like you
And the heat become uncouth
Press for the truth, I got love for you
Even if it kills me, brought back the real me
Know that you all can feel me
Break points, release dates and burnt joints
Old love, fake friends and cheapskates
Hard times, freeways and road signs
Cell blocks, handcuffs with shell shock
No trust, no choice, we can't stop
Soon to be
Far away from you
Far away from you
Away from you
So far away from you
I'm striving for that breaking point, know why
Know why
Push through the hard times right when it feels good
Right when it feels bad
Push to the next kick
Offer me less than it's off with your head
Offer me less than it's off with your head now
I'm striving for that breaking point, know why
Know why
