Give it your all

So if I start to struggle, tell me who's gonna help me

Nobody that's who, that's the way it's always gonna be

Paying just to live in this so called land of the free

fighting wars for the wealthy, when there's families in the streets with nothing to eat

Every time you stand up, something comes along and knocks you off your feet

Swimming in hardships man this ocean is deep

but the strong carry on, searching for where they belong

Everyone thinking they're right, but everybody's wrong

The way we're living isn't freedom we're slaves to our own society

Demons making money off of souls, forget that ain't nobody buying me

My heart is not for sale my thoughts are my own

and you can believe I'll selflessly fight for others till God calls me home

I don't care what you think about the way I'm living

because everything I've got is everything I'm giving
