(yeah) (yo)
You were that foundation
Never gonna be another one, no. 
I followed, so taken
so conditioned I could never let go
Then sorrow, then sickness
then the shock when you flip it on me
So hollow, so vicious 
so afraid I couldn't let myself see
That I could never be held 
Back or up, no, I'll hold myself.
Check the rep, yep you know mine well
Forget the rest let them know my [bad word] 
There and back, yet my soul ain't sell.
Kept respect up the best they fell,
Let the rest be the tale they tell
That I was there saying…

 [bad word] :
And these promises broken 
deep, feeble
Each word gets lost in the echo
So one last lie I can see through
This time I finally let you 
Go, go, go.

Test my will, test my heart
Let me tell you how the odds gonna stack up
Y'all go hard, I go smart
How's it working out for y'all in the back, huh?
I've seen that [bad word] 
Been crossed and lost and told "No"
And [bad word] back unshaken
Let down, I've lived and let go
So you can let it be known
I don't hold back, I hold my own
I can't be mapped, I can't be cloned
I can't C-flat, it aint my tone
I can't fall back, I came too far
Hold myself up and love my scars
Let the bells ring wherever they are
Cause I was there saying...

 [bad word]  

No, you can tell 'em all now
I don't back up, I don't back down
I don't fold up, and I don't bow
I don't roll over, don't know how
I don't care where the enemies are
Can't be stopped, all I know: Go Hard!
Won't forget how I got this far
And every time, saying…

 [bad word]
