Brass Balls

   
what do you know about  
the raw, dirty side of things?  
where blood meets shit  
filthy side  
bare knuckles to the walls  
because you're too bull headed to just quit  
for real side side of things 
 
yeah I feel your struggle  
 
i've been around the block  
a time or two  
to learn that  
life is a poker game  
& your bluff is constantly being called  
because it takes true character  
to lay it all down day after day  
pick up & keep moving on  
when you just want to lay down & die  
 
yeah I know you  
 
I understand pain is a game changer  
you either get more powerful  
or collapse under the weight  
it'll break you if it can  
it's a test of will  
to see who has more fire in their belly  
you or it  
 
the journey is long  
it's ball busting, cunt crushing hell  
& it hurts  
to get kicked down so many times  
not sure if you have it in you to get back up  
but you do  
 
to learn something new  
each time you're down  
remember gold is found in the Earth  
you don't find it  
staring at the clouds  
waiting for heaven to come save you  
 
grit your teeth  
& hang on  
life is a mean motherfucking bull  
just waiting to buck you  
throw you down  
& trample your ass  
for being too weak to just hold on
