1st VERSE MAMA SAID WHEN I WAS YOUNGER
BOY YA BETTER NOT HESITATE
TO GET A LITTLE STRONGER
IN THIS WORLD
THINGS WILL BRING YOU DOWN
NOW AS A BOY I KNEW WHAT TO DO
I DIDN’T KNOW HOW TO GET THERE
BUT I KNEW I’D MAKE IT THROUGH
I’M TRYIN TO REALIZE
THE PURPOSE THAT I FOUND
SO I KEPT SEARCHIN
SEARCHIN FOR THAT DAY
AND IN THE DISTANCE
I FINALLY FIND MY WAY
AND THEN I KNOW
I GOT WHAT IT TAKES
I WON’T STOP MOVIN
UNTIL I HIT THE BREAKS

2cnd VERSE MY DREAMS, MY DREAMS I WILL FOLLOW
MY PRIDE I SOMETIMES HAVE SWALLOWED
IT’S A LITTLE TOUGH FOR ME
THOSE LONG ROADS
SO VERY WELL TRAVELED
OFFSET GOALS
SO HARD FOUGHT AND BATTLED
ONE BY ONE
KEEP KNOCKIN EM DOWN
AS I GO
THE FEELIN GETS STRONGER
MY TIME IS NOW
I WON’T WAIT ANY LONGER
I’LL KEEP REACHIN
FOR HIGHER STAKES
AN I WON’T STOP DRIVIN
UNTIL I HIT THE BREAKS

3rd VERSE NOW I USED TO THINK
WHAT MIGHT BECOME OF ME
WITH OPEN EYES
THE FUTURE IS ALL I SEE
AN IT’S LOOKIN GOOD
SOME HAVE SAID
THAT MAYBE IT’S TOO LATE
I’M LIVIN LIFE
AND LEARNIN FROM MY MISTAKES
NO, IT ISN’T UP TO YOU
NOW I LOOK AHEAD
NOT KNOWIN WHATS IN STORE
A FAR CRY
FROM TEARS THAT HAVE HIT THE FLOOR
AN I’LL KEEP GIVIN
ALL THAT IT TAKES
AN I WON’T STOP RIDIN THIS WAVE
UNTIL I HIT THE BREAKS
UNTIL I HIT THE BREAKS
