Maximal Video (MV)

I promise maximal effort from me
There will never be an end to all the blood and sweat I'll lend to make it work
When I get where I need, I'll send word for you
Wouldn't burden you with details you won't read
I promise maximal effort from me
When my options are exhausted but I still won't lay down and give it up
When I get what I need, still get hungry, bite the hand that feeds
I will take from you. I will give it to myself
Take from you. Give it to myself
I promise maximal effort from me
Even in my final days, I'll find an outlet that still pays
So cut me loose. Stretch me 'til I can't breathe
But I never set the goal, so it's always out of reach
Show me a ladder, I'll climb it. Hold my breath if you time it
Do your worst to me above a dotted line, and I'll sign it
Write my name down for me. Dot the i's and cross the s's
There's somewhere I need to be. I've got no time for second guesses
I'm already past 25. Some of my best years are behind me
I could use a better hand to break me down, redefine me
I want answers on my legacy, but the greatest minds in artistry
Their speeches just don't speak to me 'cause all of them are dead already
