Out of the fire, I found a fire inside You can see the pain still alive in my eyes I've loved and I've lost, through heaven and hell They turned their back on me too many times to turn back now My nigga, I won't stop now I can't, I can't, I can't stop now I can't, I can't, I can't be stopped now It wasn't easy but I learned the hard way and let me tell you how Lived life and learned my lessons Spent dough and I earned my blessings Southside my tat and necklace Ball like I'm ambidextrous Every time they tried to block me, switched hands and changed directions Fist in the air like Rocky Bitch, I think my name Sylvester That's the difference between me and them When they thought it was the end, I was still trying to see a M Another difference between me and them Even in a Mercedes Buick, I was still tryna see a Benz I was backed into a corner Sat chasing, catching charges It's re-election season Bitch, I think I'm back in office You don't know my pain, how far I came Those days have gone, you curse my name I pray to God to shine the sun, he gave me rain I took that water and walked on it Marching harder than a million martyrs On my darkest day, I'm still a star, I shine regardless Out of the fire, I found a fire inside You can see the pain still alive in my eyes I've loved and I've lost, through heaven and hell They turned their back on me too many times to turn back now My nigga, I won't stop now I can't, I can't, I can't stop now I can't, I can't, I can't be stopped now And I thought they said light skin niggas went out of style André 3k said you only funky as your last cut So I'm state to state, and I act like a Mack truck Plus I gotta keep a Mac tucked For these big soldier niggas on the net trying act tough Y'all too alternative, get your facts up I shoot to Heathrow, get my stacks up I get pounds to spend, that's English Bitch, I think I'm 'bout to rack up You don't get it, do you? When you on that big screen, there's a lot of little people living through you When you don't stick to the script They assassinate your character and act like they never knew you That's just how the game goes, I guess Change clothes, I dressed like Project Runway meets the projects Write like Noah but a little more complex I fed niggas and they shitted on me Took the piss out me, then spilled it on me When I broke down like Britney Spears Said they throw me "Oops" and never did it on me So I wrote 'em out and make a bigger story Vic's story, that's victory Niggas never did shit for me Show them the ropes and they jumped ship on me But I never drowned, stayed down Sang songs for my hometown Made homes for the broke kids Steppin' over needles in the playground Y'all the only thing that matters to me If y'all love me, f*ck everybody If y'all love me, they can never stop me If y'all love me, they can never stop me Out of the fire, I found a fire inside You can see the pain still alive in my eyes I've loved and I've lost, through heaven and hell They turned their back on me too many times to turn back now My nigga, I won't stop now I can't, I can't, I can't stop now I can't, I can't, I can't be stopped now Yeah, I gave you my pain through a pen No I.D. on the track, let the story begin
