T Halcyon - Two Lives Lyrics

Yo life's a battle and I'm fightin' every round
Had the rug pulled out now I'm hittin' the ground
Diagnosed body weak but my soul is profound
Turnin' pain into power I ain't backin' down
What's peace without struggle, success without a climb
Every scar's a story, every step redefines
I've been through the darkness, now I'm chasin' the shine
Life's a track I'm runnin', and I'm takin' my time
Two lives we all got, first don't make sense
Second starts the moment you feel the consequence
I'm here standin' tall, I ain't askin' for pity
If I can survive life, death ain't got nothin' on me
Spent years wishin' I could press stop, fade to black
Now I'm wishin' for time, ain't no turnin' back
Doctors got theories, machines hummin' tracks
But optimism's my weapon, I'm takin' life back
Irony's rich, but my iron's poor
Deficient in strength while my immune's at war
Excess antibodies still got me sick
Like a bodyguard throwin' punches too quick
They're swingin' at shadows, leavin' me bruised
Fighting ghosts in my veins, defenses confused
IVs in my veins, they cut me, drug me, say it's grim
But I'm still spittin' bars while they play the violin
They don't say I'm dyin', but they whisper it in sin
Yo who ain't dyin'? The race we're all in
Two lives we all got, the first feels unclear
The second ignites when the end draws near
I'm here standin' tall, I ain't askin' for pity
If I can survive life, death ain't got nothin' on me
Life's ambiguous, a lesson in disguise
Clingin' to the hope that survival's in my eyes
Done the research, heard the docs, stayed strong
Cautiously optimistic, but this fight's lifelong
Yeah I'm tired, but I'm fueled by the fire in me
Each pill, each injection, just a step to victory
No cure, no guarantee, but listen world you'll see
This ain't my eulogy-it's my legacy
Machines don't define me, tubes ain't my fate
I'm writin' my own script, yeah I'll dictate
Grandkids in the future, I'll see 'em just wait
Livin' on my terms, not sealed by a date
So tell me I'm dyin', I'll laugh in your face
We're all inchin' closer, just a slower pace
If I can survive life, I'll conquer that space
Time's my ally now, every breath's an embrace
