Dig Deep

The streets I played weren’t pretty

Had to grow up fast and fight to the last

I was scared, had to hide my pain

When the nights turned wild again

If you showed just a little weakness

The streets’ll make you bleed, bring you to your knees

I prayed for a better life

I had to learn to make it right

I had to…dig deep for the spirit

Dig deep or lose

Cause when you get kicked down, get back on your feet

The only way out is through

As I grew up, I remained so loyal

All the lessons I learned, in my heart they’re burned

Felt alone but even then I knew

It’d make me a stronger man

Inside of me was a wasteland

Deep within I yearned, as the time it turned

Though my heart was lost

I knew the cost

No love was going to leave me empty

I had to…dig deep for the spirit

Dig deep or lose

Cause when you get kicked down, get back on your feet

The only way out is through

Well I’m older now and wiser

I look back and laugh at the painful past

I’m a better man

Than I was back then

I forgive but I won’t forget it

I still have to dig deep for the spirit

Dig deep or lose

Cause when I kicked down get back on my feet

The only way out is through
