It’s hard times out here
If you’re down on your luck or out of pocket
it doesn’t make you less of a person
No matter how screwed up your situation is
I know you can find the courage to go do everything in your power
to get back up

I’ve probably made a million grave mistakes
And every time I swore I’d make none of them again
By the time I lost count
I struggled with my faith
I hit rock bottom, I was down and out
There was nothing left that I could say

If you’re ever in that spot where you are weak and doubtful
Thinking the world and all its colors better do without you (I was out)
You’re sitting all by yourself screaming, you can’t do this (I was out yeah)
You see nobody help you through this, listen

Baby I’ve got us
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
(Need you to tell yourself)
Baby I’ve got us
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

And just when you wanna get on with your life…

A spirit comes to mind
A lot of folks would describe
God reaching inside you
Guiding you to do right by him
And I ain’t here to preach religion
whether jewish, muslim or christian
A buddhist or a prophet from Africa
A rebel knows despair and hope
Are brothers from another mother
So stay afloat
And when the flood comes
No doubt you’re gonna swim
You wanna overcome you must believe that you can win
Live and dream in a breath
Energy in the flesh
Learn and know in the same rhyme
Be yourself at the same time
And that right there would be one of a kind
Of a kind who would smile every time the sun rose to shine
And when it goes down the smile doesn’t fade
Let your heart palpitate
Longing to see another day
And while it gets dark, you recognize another truth
The moonlight can be equally beautiful

(Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah)
And really I just wanna get on with my life
(Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah)
But I’m stuck in this loop until I get it right
(Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah)
New people, same situations and old fights
(Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah)
Make me evaluate my progress
But I made you a promise

If you’re ever in that spot where you are weak and doubtful
Thinking the world and all its colors better do without you
(And I intend to keep it)
You’re sitting all by yourself screaming, you can’t do this (Yeaaaaah)
You see nobody help you through this, listen

Baby I’ve got us
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
(Need you to tell yourself)
Baby I’ve got us
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
