I see beauty in the shape of feathers, flight like arrows, sparrows I've seen strength in the face of death I've seen money in the streets of ghettos, Soweto, shadows fall Across faces of pain, still they strain, for greatness From those years, still sacrificing No fears, just drive, like Tyson In flight I'll soar Can't sit back no more
[Chorus] I was waiting on this shit Didn't realize I was waiting on this I'm young and I'm ready I'll run this shit till the death of me My ambition is my weaponry I'll run this shit till the death of me
[Verse 2] Determination became the anthem, hung like phantoms, and I learned Retaliate on all my fears I learned love was a type of cancer, killed you faster, the answer was To find peace between those years Over trembling floors, I'm steady But they've written my death already So many times But this fire won't die
