Against all odds

Our thoughts are fuel for the fire/
against all odds we still shine and inspire/  
aiming at the top and even higher/  
no need to retire/ as skills do not expire/
 
This attack to me ain't clear/  
I feel confused/ I feel full of fear/  
few put faith in the final hour/
I spit fire, like a volcano spittin' lava/
 
Far beyond my imagination/  
facin' personal development and rehabilitation/
now no hesitation/ but what when tasting the temptation/
oh God give me power and patience/
to go through tough times and isolation/
but I don't wanna take that route/
I know it's the wrong way out/
both know what hasn't been said out loud/
shit is tight/ can't sleep at night/ write this 4 you 2 recite/
I keep picturing that ugly sight/  
knowing it's either flee or fight/
I can feel it creeping/ coming closer/
the hate in me/ was that the fate to be/  
 
I got a habit/ I gotta have it/
it's so seductive/ yet so destructive/
we all caught up in our habits/
poisonous lifestyle refills the caskets/
greed, lust and war/ is just on top of it all/
instead of listening to the wise words/
we blindly follow the fool and get cursed/

We all go through hard times/
pick up bruises and scars/
never look back, just shoot for them stars/
