Throughout my travels and journeys

And been learnin' to be
the type of person to display how 
    Cm
determined I get
                           Dm

that fire that's burnin'
Like a knife that is turnin', I 
 D
fight while I'm hurtin'
      Gm

Tryna stifle the light that'll shine
 on me first and

Before I ride in a hearse and...

Feelin' the hunger and feedin' the 
lust to win

F         Bb
for this moment

was molded
  Cm
And as the last one standin' as the 
rest of them foldin'
       Dm               Eb
