In It to Win It Charlie Wilson

[Intro]
I was born in Oklahoma, thought in Oklahoma
When I was a little boy I used to sing before my father preached
I wanted to love on everybody, hug on everybody and smile
But you know it was a time when there was still segregation and a lot of racism
You know here people called me names like lil' nigga boy and all that
When I got to college, I'll never forget, one of my professors told me
That I was goin' to be nothing in life and imma end up in an ally
And I kinda ended up like that way, at least for a while
'Cause I did end up on the streets at one point in my life doin' drugs and alcohol

[Verse 1]
My story started, eh
Such a long time ago
Bruise up and scarred
Sometimes that seems impossible
Some said I was unable, yeah
I think they was afraid of what I can do

[Pre-Chorus]
I never stopped believin', ah
I'm gonna see it all the way through, oh no
Don't tell me that I didn't want ya (Oh yeah)
But Kobe in the fourth quarter (Quarter)
Didn't know until it's over (Over)
But I'm not backing down
