Listen up, this world ain't always kind
Find a battle worth the fight, don't be blind
It's not about being the toughest in sight
But defend your soul when it feels right
So take the high, break the chain
Dark intentions, we refrain
Wisdom wins, but don't abstain
When it's time to stop the rain
It's not always fight or flight
When shadows stalk your night
There's more to strength than throwing punches right
But stand your ground when the darkness bites
Ain't always gotta flex that power
When haters lurk and sour
Each moment can count, not just an hour
But raise your fists when evil's power
Conquer fear, don't let it breed
Use your words before you lead
With fists of anger, hearts that bleed
Preach peace, but plant the seed
Raise your voice, but keep it clear
Strength in calmness, not just in spears
Mighty are the ones who stay
Away from hate, year after year
It's a balance, not just fight or flight
Navigate through wrong and right
When the darkness comes to undo
Keep your head up, look straight, see it through
Not every battle needs a scar or a bruise
Sometimes the mind is the weapon you choose
But stand tall when you gotta take a stance
When the shadows plot, give yourself a chance
Ain't about throwing a stone or a glance
But don't let the vultures have their dance
Navigate the shades, read between the lines
Dark or light, life's a design
