Lyrics
Started out with a dream had to pay my own way
Self-sponsored through the academy eight hours a day
Seven hundred seventy hours over six long months
Failed my first test but I knew I had to confront
Got sick in the middle almost took me down
But I fought back returned didn't let myself drown
But I fought back returned didn't let myself drown
After the academy grind thought I'd catch a break
But the hardest hit came from where I'd stake
My hometown agency over 40 rides bonds I made
Kissed it all goodbye dreams began to fade
Their policy said If you've bought or sold
Here you can't be enrolled
I knew those streets I knew those men but it wasn't enough
That rejection left me rough
Chief said I wasn't a good fit but I refused to quit
Kept pushing forward didn't let my fire dim a bit
Through the trials and doubts I stood my ground
Now I'm standing tall no longer bound
My past doesn't define me but my journey's where I stand
The past is behind me my experiences make me who I am
The past is just a shadow but my steps define the man
Who I was is just a chapter who I am is in my hands
Worked two jobs day and night just to gain some ground
Mall guard hospital safety focused on the grind couldn't let it break me
Drove hours for a shot no sleep just a hope
Polygraph said I was lying felt like I was at the end of my rope
Borrowed money to stay car got hit no sleep in sight
But I never gave up I knew my future was bright
After all the struggles I thought the chance had slipped away
I kept on pushing knowing I'd see the day
Then came the call said my time had finally come
A chance to wear the badge and prove what I've become
My past doesn't define me but my journey's where I stand
The past is behind me my experiences make me who I am
The past is just a shadow but my steps define the man
Who I was is just a chapter who I am is in my hands
When the call came through my moment had arrived
Law enforcement said yes I felt so alive
Now I'm on the beat patrolling these streets
Showing what I've got I've finally earned my spot
My past doesn't define me but my journey's where I stand
The past is behind me my experiences make me who I am
The past is just a shadow but my steps define the man
Who I was is just a chapter who I am is in my hands
