Took me from a boy to a man, so I always had a father
When my biological didn't bother (Yeah)

Six lines, five lyrics and one interview quote from a DJBooth interview. Three of the lyrics come from They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y.) and two from Straighten It Out. Family, loyalty, perseverance, craft and confidence each appear on 2 lines. The tone is personal rather than boastful: lines about a father figure who stepped in when a biological one didn't bother, a grandmother who holds the family together in any weather, and a plain statement that the speaker strives to be "live 'cause I got no choice".
The more you work on a beat, the better it starts to sound.
'Cause who Jah bless, let no one curse
I win, more disciplined than a Shaolin monk (Woo)
I strive to be live 'cause I got no choice
Rain or shine, yes, in any weather (Yeah)
My Grandmom Pam holds the family together (Uh-huh)
