I paint a picture for anybody that's been broke
All the hard times that you just couldn't let go
Doing everything that you could just to get dough

But please leave the violence out, put down that pistol
I know how it feels now, stressed out and busy
I'm trying to pay the bills now, maturity just hit me

I'm trying to make it, why am I even stressful?
I should be glad God made me this successful
I've lived it all, witnessing my mom lose her job

After when my parents split, seen my dad move and gone
Didn't even give a $#&@, I used that excuse a lot
I kept it moving, I'm determined, I refuse to stop

Stories of pain, I'm trying to see them brighter days
If I could get some motivation, use it right away
But never write in vain, I'm trying to make a change

Represent for finding hope, exchange it for the fame

Chorus:


Don't worry no more, don't cry no more
Just keep your head strong 'cause there's still more hope

Yeah, we gon' pull through this thing, don't you worry
All the bull%#@! and pain, don't you worry
We need to strive and we all got potential

Motivation is a daily essential
We gon' pull through this thing, don't you worry
All the bull%#@! and pain, don't you worry



It ain't over just because you fell a couple times

Stop being lazy, you need to get up and try
A couple mo' times, don't waste your own time
There's no easy route, stop wasting it on crime

When it catches up, when that crime gets you
You'll be isolated from the joy that life gives you
Staring at a blank wall, wishing you never did that

For the rest of your life, every day you'll regret that
Getting locked up is no $#&@in' life homie
The good die young but that ain't $#&@in' right homie

I even built the strength to leave that damn life behind
Time to grow up and you'll find that man right inside
Build the courage up, catch your damn dreams

For the kids, if you could see what a man sees
Understand, it pays off, what it's meant to be
Make your peers proud, surrounded by positivity


Chorus (x2):


Don't worry no more, don't cry no more
Just keep your head strong 'cause there's still more hope
Yeah, we gon' pull through this thing, don't you worry

All the bull%#@! and pain, don't you worry
We need to strive and we all got potential
Motivation is a daily essential

We gon' pull through this thing, don't you worry
All the bull%#@! and pain, don't you worry
