Born to Do Lyrics by Steven Cooper

Life & Love

2012

[Intro]
I was born to do
I was born to do
I was born to do
I was born to do
[Verse 1]
I was sitting right here
Locked in this room off through the night
Trying to write
Every second of my life in this mic
It’s been a fight just to get them to
Listen and pay attention watchintil my knuckles are bleeding they made a dent not to mention
Ain’t got a dollar to my name
Just living getting the game straight caught up in the fame
Sleeping in my car hoping to sell a disk
Cause you’re wanting this so bad you’re tasting it on your lips
Get a pen and paint a picture
Worth a pen and pull the ladder
Where there’s pen and patter
Purple broken jabs, oh well it doesn’t matter
Cause this earth won’t all be forever
I’m keeping my head high and hoping for the better when
Everything’s down and now under the weather and
Every first round you out
Stuck in the strata yeah
Claim to have friends but they’re never around
So you keep moving on, one man in a crowd
[Hook]
This my day, this is my night
This is my pain, this is my life
This is what! I was born to do, I was born to do
Every new day, every new night
Every new stage, every new fight
This is what! I was born to, I was born to do
[Verse 2]
This is what I’m made for
Every single moment that I’m living I can feel it on the stage for
You don’t know the half of, half of what I’ve given to make it up to this level
Every day at home spitting every day alone wishing
While every role shifting
And every cold win
It’s getting heavy, road slipping
Every day maybe my last chance to make it
Every day I’m seeing less cash on the bank slip
Grasp and get anxious rap like a tank ship
Give ‘em something that they’ve never had from this basement
Show ‘em watcha made of, just tell ‘em straight up
You can go and take on the world
Whatchu you afraid of?
Yes, it’s right around the bend
It’s a first round look now let the the rounds begin
No need to count to 10
We can count the win
And you can count me to knock out every sound I’m in
This my day, this is my night
This is my pain, this is my life
This is what! I was born to do, I was born to do
Every new day, every new night
Every new stage, every new fight
This is what! I was born to, I was born to do
[Verse 3]
Fought to my knees, every night and I pray
Asking Lord let ‘em hear like I’ve something to say
There’s a fear right there and it’s coming new way
Don’t let it stop you from living for what you were made
It’s not a dream; it’s a destiny, blessed to see
When the whole world listens to this mess in me
There’s a message inside what you get from me
A little life, little love that’s a recipe
So when the world’s crushing down and you feel the weight on your shoulders
Try to pick it up but you’re steady stacking up boulders
Every day’s a gift, never miss it getting older
Blessing and a struggle know that you’re just on the road to a life
You were born to live, so I wake up every day and just give it
What I’m born to give
Everything in me and nothing less
While this heart’s still beating up inside my chest
This my day, this is my night
This is my pain, this is my life
This is what! I was born to do, I was born to do
Every new day, every new night
Every new stage, every new fight
This is what! I was born to, I was born to do
