Check out the lyrics
The battle was over the second that it started
I’ll be alright momma, I promise, the heart of a Spartan
Accomplished in fields of artistry, I’m the truth
In the name of god, that’s the way I move
You see the glory of my survival, the story of all the fighters before me that lost their lives to
Not a gun or knife, it’s a battle that forms inside them
There’s nothing you or I can do but keep fighting
Strike back like a soldier or a bolt of lightning
And pray that God gives us a little hope and some guidance
To lead us out of the shadows to wear the light is
We all get lost along the way, eventually we find it
No discrimination, different ages, different shapes and sizes
I was made to write the realest until these kids recite it
And it’s the truth, you’re going to have to love it before you like it
I’m gonna fight until my last breath and my soul is flying
There’s no way that you can take this from me
There’s no way that you can take this from me
There’s no way that you can take this from me
I’ve got the heart of a Spartan and I can’t be beat
They didn’t think that I could make it, uh huh
They didn’t think that I could take it, uh huh
Well I did and I'm standing here no I have no fear
So let my voice be heard and as you hear my call, I’d like to welcome you all
to the battlefield
The boy’s not up in his right mind, right now
I couldn’t lose if I flat lined, lights out
The boy in the building, yeah one in a million, a wonderful feeling that I’m alive and I’m comfortably living
Think you could win an inch in the mile that I've walked?
Silence, let the grown folks talk
class is taught boy so pass the chalk in
My life’s like a movie, get your cameras off me
Feel me, without putting your hands on me
I demand strongly, you give me that or back off me
Facts are, no attacks holding me back strongly
There’s too many soldiers of mine in your army
I’ll fight for this, lose my life for this
I dream about it each and every night for real
That I survived the years, yeah I’m alive and well
You die if you fail, I’m a fighter that’s why I prevail
There’s no way that you can take this from me
There’s no way that you can take this from me
There’s no way that you can take this from me
I’ve got the heart of a Spartan and I can’t be beat
They didn’t think that I could make it, uh huh
They didn’t think that I could take it, uh huh
Well I’m here and I’m standing here, I have no fear
So let my voice be heard and as you hear my call, I’d like to welcome you all
to the battlefield
I’ll be alright momma, I promise, the heart of a Spartan
Accomplished in fields of artistry, I’m the truth
In the name of god, that’s the way I move
You see the glory of my survival, the story of all the fighters before me that lost their lives to
