My life could sound like a sad song
So let me take you back a little short story long
I was born in a crazy country but beautiful indeed
The middle east Miami, that special air that I breathe
A war zone yes, a hot zone yes
Beyrouth Lebanon well known? No!
The spirit of a soldier, riches of a land
But too little to grab on for so many hands
So they fight and for a decade they fought again
I'm watching I'm a kid and god damn I can't understand
I see the heroes dying, I see the soldiers crying
I prayed for better days but god was lying so
That's my reality I guess, I'm eleven years old and no future to assess
Plus the fact that I'm a property of a war zone country
I've seen it all, they made a warrior out of me
Wake up kid it's not your time to go...
Wake up kid it's now the time to show
The whole world what you came for, go it's your payback (bis)
Still so young but living like no tomorrow
Like on a respirator, breathing on time you borrow
Seeking for a little piece, a glimpse of sunshine
Gather the family and have some quality time
And then January 1st 1991 war is over
Daddy had enough, let's move over
Quickly we pack up, couple of dollars for back up
Grabbed my little sister, kiss goodbye it's a wrap up
A new life, for me a new beginning
I knew from there on there's no fights I won't be winning
And of course I'll be your ultimate hustler I was trained for
Mentally be stronger beat the best and get paid for
The world is this kid is scared of nothing'
No matter what you showed me I've seen worse
The point is I wanna be a leader now
I was never scared to die, f**k you the world is mine
Wake up kid it's not your time to go...
Wake up kid it's now the time to show
The whole world what you came for, go it's your payback (bis)
Now I never look back I'm just happy I made it
Life owed me a favour I'm just happy she paid it
Came from the bottom of bottom straight to the top of the top
Now I'm enjoying every moment of it like if it was my last
Now I never look back I'm just happy I made it
Life owed me a favour I'm just happy she paid it
Came from the bottom of bottom straight to the top
Of the top let me sleep if I'm dreaming so they can't take me back
