Scarier than a Lion's roar
Life... maybe a brawl, maybe a war
Everyday and every night
not a warrior, but I fight
I fight to live, i live to fight
Like a gallant knight
Relentlessly for more than four dozen fortnights
Do you rely on wot you see?... I'm not selling a rumour
you probably doubt me cos you don't see me in a bright shiny amour
Then again you conceive heavy doubt
Just because you don't see me flinging punches in a bout
In case you wonder... I'm not a ruthless Pugilist
Neither a wrestler, nor a martial specialist
I do not wield a sword, Nor a shield
Never seen.. Never been in a scene of battlefield
But in my mind I've faced the fiercest battles
Beneath those cognitive crevices, my arch enemy rattles
There's a war front at the hind of this mind
Life, No trifles for rifles in this kind of grind
I face wot I don't see but that which I can perceive
Barricades of self doubts... No cease fire, No relief
Battalions commanded by disbelief
Legions of voices that attack my fears, worries and grief
Life is war
Though we don't always see wounds and gore galore
Birthed into this pride
born into this wild
Can I adapt? Is survival on my side?
Good lord, good God, this mind is a ring
Where I wrestle myself within
And quarrel with my thoughts, more or less... I guess
It's stress, Cos Sometimes I need to say no when my soul says yes
And rebel against all the lies
And tell myself if it ain't worth it, don't ever sacrifice nor compromise Never rationalise
It doesn't always mean peace when there's silence
The roughest violence resides in the brain, where the ambience is silence
We do not see, but Hearts are arenas
Where we bob and weave against nibbling temptations like piranhas
How do you build defences without fortifying offences
We all wage war against insecurities
Who wouldn't slay poverty?
No wonder we sometimes fight change
And Time and freedom within our range
Sometimes We lose, sometimes we win
Sometimes We are heroes, sometimes fallen soldiers to the villain
I can't say I like this daily rampage
Buh I can say I like this lifetime challenge
True strength is mental
A strong mind is instrumental
