Roc for Life

From a life of setbacks to a jetpack

I spent my life in them flats tryna extract

I spent nights in the trap tryna get stacks

And like the boy Daps, no regrets fam

My reflection in the mirror

Is my perception of a winner

My redemption to begin a

Resurrection of a sinner

I'm walking through the corridor of troubled thoughts

I'm married to my problems and she won't divorce

I'm talking to my conscience like I want it more

And I can't ignore the fact that I'm in running form

But I can't afford to slack or be comfortable

To be the best on every track is what I run it for

If I believe that I can then I must for sure

And make suttin out of nuttin, being bloody poor

I'm unstoppable and on top of all

I done made it through the rain and the thunderstorms

I've been training for this day since I learnt to walk

And I should pick myself up if I turn and fall

I'm breaking out, I will win the fight

Got me running, running for the crown

And I rock it, rock for life

Aim for the sky, gotta make it mine

So I'm running, running for the crown

And I rock it, rock for life

Concrete, foes be on me constantly

But most of them just talk and won't bear arms

Take off your long sleeve

This is all C, MMG, lot of cheese

Black billionaires and even one of my niggas got degrees

Mr. Carter or Mr. Roberts, I know my position proper

Cause just for a pop-off I can pick up deposits

And I went to college, my partners was pistol poppers

Dropped out and now I'm gettin' knowledge like a doctor at Harvard

Nigga, and I told you I would make it though

Forever power forward, man you niggas couldn't play the four

Or the five, drink it with no soda, I

Don't need to be sober or sorta high

Muhfucka blow it down

Yeah, Roc boy still running town

I'm breaking out, I will win the fight

Got me running, running for the crown

And I rock it, rock for life

Aim for the sky, gotta make it mine

So I'm running, running for the crown

And I rock it, rock for life
