Make It out Alive

I've been picked upon
 I've been pushed around
 I've been lifted up just to be knocked down
 I grew up abused
 So let's watch as it all plays out
 I have made some friends
 That are now enemies
 Bad luck comes in waves, mostly 2s and 3s
 I can't count on my lucky stars
 They're no where to be seen
 I guess it's just not meant to be
 So when I make it out alive
 Yeah, I am gonna be the one to
 Tell you I'm alright
 I knew I would be, I knew I'd be all along
 When I make it out alive
 Yeah, I am gonna be the one to
 Tell you I survived
 I knew I'd do it, 'cause I knew it all along
 I'll keep my feet on the ground
 You keep your head in the clouds
 I'll take the punches as they come to knock me
 Out of sight
 I must be out of my mind
 Who knew growing up is just like doing time
 Well I've done them both and I think I turned out just fine
 Just fine, just fine, just fine, just fine
 What would you know of this life I've been given
 My parents, they left me so broken (broken)
 And I'm trying my hardest to fix myself
 But I can't call on you, 'cause that's a cry for help
 And I won't
 So when I make it out alive
 Yeah, I am gonna be the one to
 Tell you I'm alright
 I knew I would be, I knew I'd be all along
 When I make it out alive
 Yeah, I am gonna be the one to
 Tell you I survived
 I knew I'd do it, 'cause I knew it all along
 Oh yeah, yeah you know what they say
 If you cannot win the battle, live to fight another day
 If you've never been hurt, then you've never known pain
 If you've never felt love, then you'll never know hate
 I felt it all, felt the pain and the pressure
 Building inside me, more than I can measure
 You think that you're smarter
 You think that you're clever
 You think that you're better
 Whatever, whatever
 So when I make it out alive
 Yeah, I am gonna be the one to
 Tell you I'm alright
 I knew I would be, I knew I'd be all along
 When I make it out alive
 Yeah, I am gonna be the one to
 Tell you I survived
 I knew I'd do it, 'cause I knew it all along
 Oh yeah, yeah you know what they say
 If you cannot win a battle, live to fight another day
 If you've never been hurt, then you've never known pain
 If you've never known love, then you'll never know hate
