Waswanipi Community - Always Believing Lyrics

You know you always gotta find that part of you that
That brings you up
Testing you
But whatever it is you decide in life
You just gotta know to do it right, you know
And you gotta know to believe in yourself

Its just another day, I think about life
Wanting how to express, so I jump on a mic
I tell em how it is, it's hard to do right
Everyday it's a struggle, every night it's a fight
Hoping that one day I could be in the spot light
Dreams start to fade but I'm feeling alright
Yeah I tell em myself, you ain't done yet
Or maybe right but this is my life
So I write it in a piece or pen in a paper, talk about life
Or talk rap, stay at home Dad, kids are asking me
Where you going Dad?
Say I'll be back, I won't take long
Momma saying I'm gone but I ain't gone
Too busy rapping, that's why I write it in a song
Just to make it happen, now I'm trying to stay strong
Hoping that one day that I'll make it out
At times like I felt like giving up but

Gotta keep going, game plan on, never give up
Always believing, always believing
This ain't the end, this is the start, we're trying to get up
Always believing, always believing

The world is a dark place I'm trying to bring the light back
Don't want to lose hope, keeping on the right path
What's my identity? Don't want to be a typecast
I use my third eye whenever my sight lacks
Fight traps, I never wanna get caught
All in this together is our best odds
Breath in, the anger's what I let off
Music is my life so forever will my head bop
Y'all guessed wrong if you thought that I would die slow
A rhyme flow, designed to let my mind go
Divine soul, still praying with my eyes closed
Wishing that my people who be struggling will find hope
And I know that my days are numbered
You can hear it in my voice got the pain and hunger
So I stay bright and make life realer than I ever thought
Better off found in myself trying to set it off

Gotta keep going, game plan on, never give up
Always believing, always believing
This ain't the end, this is the start, we're trying to get up
Always believing, always believing

There's always a part of you
That's going to make you feel like it's never enough
Like you don't fit it
But it doesn't matter
Just believe in yourself man

You see I'm just a Native with a dream
Put in reality these dreams that I see
Nothing last forever in these streets
Especially your life trying to make it right
Thinking twice before I make mistakes
You see it's funny these mistakes told me to write this song
Trying to make it home but this road that I chose feels so long
Inspired by the lights and the people back home
This business told me to never give it up
It may seem hard but never give up
Forever a Cree is what I remain to be
Trying to get out of this community

Gotta keep going, game plan on, never give up
Always believing, always believing
This ain't the end, this is the start, we're trying to get up
Always believing, always believing
