[00:00.00]Born to Do - Steven Cooper
[00:01.77]Lyrics by:Steven Cooper
[00:03.54]Composed by:Steven Cooper
[00:05.31]I was born to do
[00:07.86]I was born to do
[00:15.55]I was born to do
[00:18.19]I was born to do
[00:20.07]I was sitting right here
[00:21.39]Locked in this room off through the night
[00:23.12]Trying to write
[00:23.78]Every second of my life in this mic
[00:25.62]It's been a fight just to get them to listen and pay attention
[00:28.55]Watching till my knuckles are bleeding
[00:29.93]They made a dent not to mention
[00:31.85]Ain't got a dollar to my name
[00:33.31]Just living getting the game straight caught up in the fame
[00:36.21]Sleeping in my car hoping to sell a disk
[00:38.66]Cause you're wanting this so bad you're tasting it on your lips
[00:41.01]Get a pen and paint a picture
[00:42.30]Worth a pen and pull the ladder
[00:43.62]Where there's pen and patter
[00:44.61]Purple broken jabs oh well it doesn't matter
[00:46.99]Cause this earth won't all be forever
[00:48.82]I'm keeping my head high and hoping for the better when
[00:51.73]Everything's down and now under the weather and
[00:54.29]Every first round you out
[00:55.88]Stuck in the strata yeah
[00:56.84]Claim to have friends but they're never around
[00:59.25]So you keep moving on one man in a crowd
[01:01.73]This is my day this is my night
[01:03.93]This is my pain this is my life
[01:06.55]This is what I was born to do I was born to do
[01:11.71]Every new day every new night
[01:14.21]Every new stage every new fight
[01:16.88]This is what I was born to do I was born to do
[01:23.41]This is what I'm made for
[01:24.78]Every single moment that I'm living I can feel it on the stage for
[01:27.82]You don't know the half of
[01:29.20]Half of what I've given to make it up to this level
[01:31.40]Every day at home spitting every day alone wishing
[01:34.09]While every role shifting
[01:35.40]And every cold win
[01:36.59]It's getting heavy road slipping
[01:38.14]Every day maybe my last chance to make it
[01:40.83]Every day I'm seeing less cash on the bank slip
[01:43.36]Grasp and get anxious rap like a tank ship
[01:45.89]Give 'em something that they've never had from this basement
[01:48.48]Show 'em watcha made of just tell 'em straight up
[01:51.15]You can go and take on the world
[01:52.57]What you afraid of
[01:53.95]Yes it's right around the bend
[01:55.88]It's a first round look now let the rounds begin
[01:58.28]No need to count to 10
[01:59.79]We can count the win
[02:01.06]And you can count me to knock out every sound I'm in
[02:03.48]This is my day this is my night
[02:05.99]This is my pain this is my life
[02:08.38]This is what I was born to do I was born to do
[02:13.76]Every new day every new night
[02:16.31]Every new stage every new fight
[02:18.89]This is what I was born to do I was born to do
[02:24.74]Fought to my knees every night and I pray
[02:26.86]Asking Lord let 'em hear like I've something to say
[02:29.41]There's a fear right there and it's coming new way
[02:31.81]Don't let it stop you from living for what you were made
[02:34.49]It's not a dream it's a destiny blessed to see
[02:37.25]When the whole world listens to this mess in me
[02:39.70]There's a message inside what you get from me
[02:42.12]A little life little love that's a recipe
[02:44.83]So when the world's crushing down and you feel the weight on your shoulders
[02:47.81]Try to pick it up but you're steady stacking up boulders
[02:50.44]Every day's a gift never miss it getting older
[02:53.04]Blessing and a struggle know that you're just on the road to a life
[02:55.88]You were born to live
[02:57.28]So I wake up every day
[02:58.53]And just give it what I'm born to give
[03:00.53]Everything in me and nothing less
[03:03.08]While this heart's still beating up inside my chest
[03:06.80]This is my day this is my night
[03:09.11]This is my pain this is my life
[03:11.68]This is what I was born to do I was born to do
[03:16.93]Every new day every new night
[03:19.43]Every new stage every new fight
[03:21.95]This is what I was born to do I was born to do
[03:28.08]I was born to do I was born to do
[03:33.04]I was born to do I was born to do
[03:38.24]I was born to do I was born to do
[03:43.44]I was born to do I was born to do
