Growing up parents got me a guitar Said you can do anything kid you can go far You can be the president fireman race cars The sky’s the limit kid so shoot for the stars
So I strummed that guitar every day Found a passion for music never went away I joined a couple bands and played a few shows Tried to impress the girl in the front row
But soon enough everything starts to change As you grow up nobody treats you the same They try take your future and make it real safe You could be a doctor accountant or something sane
But yo What ever happened to the sky was the limit? I fell in love with music never thought it was a gimmick I worked so hard on every tune and every single lyric My whole identity dependent on being artistic
Now you want to strip that away? So you feel ok? Cuz if I make it to the top what does that really say? That you shouldn’t have given up, that you made the mistake But if I fail you feel much better bout pickin’ your lane right
Yea things are gunna get better real soon Yea Ima just do me you just do you I swear it’s gunna get better real soon Don’t let anyone tell you what you should do
I got a clear view We’re gunna make it soon Just keep pushing through Yea what you got to lose? Yea what you got to lose? Yea what you got to lose? Just keep pushing through Cuz what you got to lose?
I won’t give up I won’t back down Till I’m lying 6 feet underneath the deep ground I won’t give up I won’t back down Cuz nobody’s stopping me except for me now
And let’s be honest life’s a competition So if I’m going to play then I’m gon play to win it I refuse to sit and rot at a desk all day Unless I have a passion I’m working towards ok
Id rather be dead on the outside than inside A bullet to the head than 25 to life In a cubicle alone just trying get by Building someone else’s dream instead of building mine
If you’re hearin’ me this is meant to inspire If you have a dream or if you have desires A girl in your life that’s makin’ you feel that fire Go fight for her man go die for her man
Cuz you only have one life one chance to do it One chance to prove it to yourself so don’t lose it You got this fam just keep pushing on through it One day you’ll look back so glad you pursued it
You ain’t gon stop me now Because I got this now I got the formula and I’m about to drop it loud So what we talking bout There is no talkin’ now We take action with passion We’re rockin’ now
It’s tick tockin’ now The clocks tockin’ down And all I hear is haters try so hard to talk me down But they can’t stop the sound Already on the ground Everything is growing faster than I can count
