Lyrics

Strong Bone

Even when the goings get rough
Keep on going never stand attention
No shaking, oh
I strong mind
Strong bone
Strong mind
Strong bone

It is not just by muscle
Let me show you where my mind is
All my life I've been fighting
All my life I know grinding
Move through the darkness like it's night vision
Don't ask permission or to be forgiven
Beat the game with cards I was given

Won't let a bastard stop me
I'm a hustler
Survivor
From Joseph Ishie
I carry big dreams

So many trials
So many nights I've
Cried my eyes out
Tears in the asphalt
But the devil is a liar
Won't let a hard time defeat me
Won't let a hard time defeat me

Even when the goings get rough
Keep on going, never stand attention
No shaking, oh
I strong mind
I strong bone
I strong mind
I strong bone

Nobody want to give me chance
Now the sun shine on everything I touch
No shaking, oh
I strong mind
I strong bone
I strong mind
I strong bone

I believe, I believe
What is destined for me I must get
I give thanks every chance I get
Waitin' I get
Did not just appear

I'm no magician
It's dedication
Don't get the wrong idea
No competition
I'm on a mission
You can never turn my head

Even when the goings get rough
Keep on going, never stand attention
No shaking, oh
I strong mind
I strong bone
I strong mind
I strong bone

Nobody want to give me chance
Now the sun shine on everything I touch
No shaking, oh
I strong mind
I strong bone
I strong mind
I strong bone
