Analysis of Untilted#75

Jeremy Beacham 1979 (Tesax)



Life is a jungle
every day I fight through the struggle
Not letting life get the best of me
But I know it's a test me

I want fade, I want crack
I'll take these lashes upon my back
Grind harder than the average man
Never on my knees, but on my two feet, I'll stand.

So chin up and chest out, let's get it
I live by this moniker of shit it and get it.
Turn a negative into a positive
For a good life to live.
