H.M.T - K.A.A.N.

How many times will they tell me «no»?

How many times will they shoot me down and close the door?

How many times

How many times will a nigga fail?

How many times have you slipped 'fore you finally prevailed?

How many times

How many times will you persevere?

How many times will you keep faith in the process when it isn’t clear?

How many times must you fight your fears?

How many time will you get up when you fall?

Are you still here?

What’s clear to you ain’t clear to me, that’s just a misconception

Yeah, I may have fallen, I may have stumbled but I learned my lesson

The gift of life, boy, ain’t it nice?

Yeah, this shit a blessing

The pressure builds the way I can’t take it, I must confess it

If it ain’t for me then I’m never stressin'

Tryna set my plan in stone, they wanna Etch-A-Sketch it

To each their own, I rather roam, I’m resettin' the sentence

Adjust the view, my shit’s construed, they aloof to the message

May have been low, may have been down, but I never been out

Carry the load, breakin' the mold in the midst of a drought

Don’t take that much for me to see what you niggas about

I said I refuse to be consumed by the hate and the doubt

Nigga, ah

How many times will they tell me «no»?

How many times will they shoot me down and close the door?

How many times

How many times will a nigga fail?

How many times have you slipped 'fore you finally prevailed?

How many times

How many times will you persevere?

How many times will you keep faith in the process when it isn’t clear?

How many times must you fight your fears?

How many time will you get up when you fall?

Are you still here?

We so high that we can’t come down

Don’t look down

Won’t come down

We so high that we can’t come down

Don’t look down

Won’t come down

All that I see is these vices

Niggas pretend to be righteous

Hard to survive in this climate

But your senses is heightened

Tryin' my best to enlighten

But first, I humble myself

Gotta put my pride to the side and let it just fall by my waist

I might fall flat on my face

I know that bitter taste

I’m out here tryna keep my faith like a Latter Day Saint

I use they words as motivation when they tell me I can’t

Outside the box, the way I think

Refuse to give in or quit

Yeah I can’t

How many times will they tell me «no»?

How many times will they shoot me down and close the door?

How many times

How many times will a nigga fail?

How many times have you slipped 'fore you finally prevailed?

How many times

How many times will you persevere?

How many times will you keep faith in the process when it isn’t clear?

How many times must you fight your fears?

How many time will you get up when you fall?

Are you still here?
