"I can see my breath in the air /
The cold feels like a little death in the air /
I ain't got a buck to spare, no luck to share /
Stuck right there /
Bottom of the ladder, too far to climb /
I'm as vital to your success as you are mine /
Don't dare write off the little guy /
Destined for greatness, but remain a little shy /
Go on and giggle, I don't need your co-sign /
Leave me hanging out to dry - clotheslined /
It's go time, win, lose, or draw /
I might never be a glimmer of the winner they saw /
Winner takes all, but we're left with scraps /
Until they bury me at the left of my paps /
Until I no longer exist, trust this /
I'ma fight like my life is at risk /
'cause it is..."
