Smokes cleared, I never feared
Just rolling low decisions
Don't let your focus waiver
Just be a dedicator
Make your mind up like a dagger to slit the throats of haters
That's why I gotta keep on climbing

Take time, get out of line
Don't get [bad word] Don't fall on superstition
Or blame that malnutrition
Just make your heart like a hatchet to crack [bad word] This life is mine for the taking
I'ma ride it until the day I die
This life is mine for the taking
And I'ma ride it, ride it

That's why I gotta keep on climbing
'Cause life is just what you make it
So keep on riding and riding until you make it there

Never faded 
I got this old blood, pumping through my veins
Never faded
I got this old blood

This life is mine for the taking
And I'ma ride it hard 'til the day I die
This life is mine for the taking
I'ma ride it until the day I die
This life is mine for the taking
And I'ma ride it, ride it, ride it

That's why I gotta keep on climbing
'Cause life is just what you make it
So keep on riding and riding until you make it there
'Cause life is just what you make it
So keep on riding and riding until you make it yours
