Lyrics
You grew up good and wonderful
You had a positive and admirable upbringing.
It was great just watchin' you, everyday was like a privilege
Observing your growth was a joy, and each day felt like a privilege.
Then the time come for you to be your own man and take on the world, and you did
As the time came for you to become independent and face the world, you succeeded.
But somewhere along the line, you changed
However, at some point, you underwent a transformation.
You stopped being you
You lost your true self.
You let people stick a finger in your face and tell you you're no good
You allowed others to criticize you and claim you were not good enough.
And when things got hard, you started lookin' for something to blame, like a big shadow
In challenging times, you started looking for external blame, like a looming shadow.
Let me tell you something you already know
I will share something you are already aware of.
The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows
The world is not always kind; it can be harsh and unpleasant.
It's a very mean and nasty place, and i don't care how tough you are
No matter how strong you are, life can bring you to your knees.
It will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it
If you allow it, life can keep you down permanently.
You, me or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life
Nobody, including you or me, can hit as hard as life.
But it ain't about how hard you hit
Yet, the key is not about the force of the hit.
It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward
It's about enduring powerful blows and still moving forward.
How much you can take, and keep moving forward
How much adversity can you withstand and still progress?
But it ain't about how hard you hit
Again, it's not about the strength of the impact.
It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward
It's about enduring severe hits and continuing the journey.
How much you can take, and keep moving forward
How much hardship can you endure and still move forward?
Keep moving forward
Continue progressing, keep moving forward.
Keep moving forward
-Let me tell you something you already know
Reiteration: I'll remind you of something you already know.
The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows
The world can be harsh and unforgiving, regardless of your strength.
It's a very mean and nasty place, and i don't care how tough you are
It has the potential to bring you down and keep you there if you allow it.
It will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it
Nobody, not you, me, or anyone, can match the toughness of life.
You, me or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life
Again emphasizing that it's not about the force of the hit.
But it ain't about how hard you hit
It's about enduring powerful blows and still moving forward.
It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward
How much adversity can you withstand and still progress?
How much you can take, and keep moving forward
Reiteration: It's about enduring hardships and moving forward.
Keep moving forward
Continue progressing, keep moving forward.
