Self raised, self made 
Nothing was ever handed to me 
I tasted pain, the gutter hugged me 
Till I stood up and embraced the flames 

Always pushing, always searching 
Always crossing the line 
Try to hold me back 
I swing the hammer of inner strength 

Always the hard way 
Nothing was never handed to me 
Always the hard way 
You taught me [bad word]  you gave me strength 
I learned everything the hard way 

Helpless and crisis 
Without them you never know better days 
Unsound, self bound 
Cause you never had to fight for anything
