lyrics

Verse 1]

Feelin' like a Pis-ton, Bad Boy, way back in '89, feelin' like Bad Boy, when the label was in its prime, can't stop, won't stop, mo' props, gimme mine, for the mission I am fitted just call it a 59 chances, take 'em that's how you become a champion, struggle built strength, through the mental I am Samson, rumble young man rumble, mind state of Cassius before the military tried to draft him, build it to last this be the craft needed t o reachin' the masses, speakin' to the people like I'm Malcolm with the glasses at the podium right befo' the shotgun blast, hopin I motivate many fo' this life go past, I be focused on tomorrow, though I'm seizin' the moment, my competition is me, so what's defeatin' opponents? My seed is the future, so as long as she growin' I'm gon' show her the right path my role is to lead her on it, I'm gone

[Hook] (Repeat 2x)

Rumble, rumble young man rumble, you get out and get it that's how you overcome a struggle, you don't win you don't eat and you're broke, if you don't hustle, either you go home or go strong apply the muscle

[Verse 2]
