It's a cold cold world, and I'm standing on my own
But I gotta stand strong, cuz I know that I'm alone
And I'm grown and I know that I have responsibilities
That I can't skip out on, so I'm using my ability
To get up on the mic and maybe make a difference
In my life, I know that if I try, I'll maybe get it right
So I fight, though the pain and the anger and the rain
Not a stranger to the struggle, its the same, can't complain
But I've been through way too much, to get to where I'm at
Can't backtrack, to the bad, or else I wouldn't be Abstrakt
But I dwell on my past, far too often, its a sickness
I wish I could let it go, but I can't its like it isn't
Even gone, because it lives, deep inside my soul
It's like a part of me that holds on strong and doesn't let me go
And I know, that if I don't I'm gonna fail, and I cannot handle that
I gotta find myself for real
I gotta find myself, gotta rely on myself
I can't deny myself, there's nobody else
Gotta remind myself, that I am for myself
I can't lie to myself, cuz I'm by myself
I gotta find myself, gotta rely on myself
I can't deny myself, there's nobody else
Gotta remind myself, that I am for myself
I can't lie to myself, cuz I'm by myself
Now I don't got it that bad, I got a pretty good life
Got a really good wife, and some really good kids
Got a decent job and 3 cars, even got a house
That I bought on my own, working harder to get out
Of the situation that I grew up in, it was like hell
But I know with all the hard work I put in I will prevail
It just takes some time and dedication, positivity
Motivation's what I need, inspiration from in me
And I'll manifest what I want, what I need
I'm a beast, I'm a get it how I see
I won't stop at finding me, I'm a keep on going
Keep on pushing forward, til it's right
I will never go back to how it was, continue with the fight
Not only do I have to do it for myself, but for my family
Seeing them be happy, man that's helping with my sanity
I plan to be, on the right path very soon
The time is now, I gotta do it or I'll be seeing my doom
I gotta find myself, gotta rely on myself
I can't deny myself, there's nobody else
Gotta remind myself, that I am for myself
I can't lie to myself, cuz I'm by myself
I gotta find myself, gotta rely on myself
I can't deny myself, there's nobody else
Gotta remind myself, that I am for myself
I can't lie to myself, cuz I'm by myself
