[Verse 1: Seungmin, Bang Chan, Lee Know, I.N]
All my life, I've been runnin' alone
Space and time, I see them come and go
Been fighting from the low, from the low
The pressure takes me to the top
Sticks and stones, yeah, just keep 'em up, ayy
Finna reach what they just cannot touch (Cannot touch)
Broken bones, yeah, I pick 'em up, ayy
Shed a tear to make me never stop, never stop
'Cause I've been doin' this
[Chorus: Choir & Lil Durk]
All my life (All my life)
They been tryin' to keep me down (They been tryna keep me down)
All this time (All this time)
Never thought I would make it out (Never thought I'd make it out)
They couldn't break me, they couldn't break me (No, no)
They couldn't take me, they couldn't take me (No)
All my life (All my life)
They been tryin' to keep me down (They been tryna keep me down)
[Verse 2: Lil Durk]
I decided I had to finish
But the media called me a menace
I done sat with the mayor and politicians, I'm tryna change the image
You can't blame my past no more, I come from the trenches
Some said I'd never be a superstar, but I know I'm different (No, no, no)
I'm The Voice, but the system ain't give me a choice
Know some people that's still unemployed
I know a felon who tryna get FOID
Child support your only support
For a visit, I'm goin' through courts
Went to jail, they was chainin' me up
And you know that I'm famous as fuck
See how you gon' joke about stimulus?
But they really had came in the clutch
I know some kids wanna hurt theyself
Stop tryna take drugs, I refer to myself
Tryna better myself, tryna better my health but
[Chorus: Choir, Lil Durk]
All my life (All my life)
They been tryin' to keep me down (They been tryna keep me down)
All this time (All this time)
Never thought I would make it out (Never thought I'd make it out)
They couldn't break me, they couldn't break me (No, no)
They couldn't take me, they couldn't take me (No)
All my life (All my life)
They been tryin' to keep me down (They been tryna keep me down)
[Verse 3: Changbin, Hyunjin, Felix, Han]
Despite the dissuasion, I go into the water
Their mistakes of saying it wouldn't work out for me
Now, even then, I focus on my actions
The image of me floating on the surface of the water you saw is oil, not foam
When a big wave comes, ride on top of it
My name will stand higher
Ain't nobody can stop talkin' about it
[?]
It's meaningless because I'm going on my own way anyway
Now, I'm just walking
The culprit from the past who tried to drown me underwater
The hardships that became a drizzle, became an anchor for my will
What can I do? (Do)
Like a cartoon (as if a cartoon)
I found the clue in a high-dimensional reality
In my life that was a blank color, that's blue (Yeah)
I started to smell a little too like an adult (I saw it)
Wiped away my tears after experiencing failure
It was my trophy, to keep going (Let's go)
I'm confident in the place where we held hands
The more times like this, the more I bow my head and calm down
Now I’m at the edge
A cliff-like railing that I don't want to go back to again
We rise more, I like this song
Nobody can judge us, go back from
There is no failure in this part of the story
I've relieved my thirst with blood and sweat
[Chorus: Choir & Lil Durk]
All my life (All my life)
They been tryin' to keep me down (They been tryna keep me down)
All this time (All this time)
Never thought I would make it out (Never thought I'd make it out)
They couldn't break me, they couldn't break me (No, no)
They couldn't take me, they couldn't take me (No)
All my life (All my life)
They been tryin' to keep me down (They been tryna keep me down)
