Enrico James - Just Listen Lyrics

Half the battles within yourself to define who you are
Always chase your dreams, shoot beyond those stars
Even if you miss, you may land on the moon
Tell me the truth, why do people do what they do?
I can't questions others motives or the way that they move
Looking like a dance, but can't get down with the groove
It's like Ivan with ooze, what's controlling these fools?
Stand ten-tens down there's no way I could lose
My mother told me people go through change
Flowers only grow once they go through the rain
Love is only real if you go through the pain
I don't think you really hear what I'm saying (so check it)
They'll bring you flowers to your grave, but no soup while you're sick
Look you closely in your eyes as you die in a blink
Wishing they could get back all the time that they spent
Full of regret, take another loss on the chin

I'm depressed, I got a feeling that I wish I wasn't here
I've been grinding, I've been trying
Life just seems like it's not fair
Got some friends who've turned their back acting like they never care
Once my momma passed away all of a sudden they appear
Tell a joke, they wanna smoke, but really ain't got time for that
Still up on a mission with this message each time that I rap
Take me back to the days with a freestyle on a track
Nowadays its all lip-syncing and I think that shit is wack
Time is ticking, I've been wishing that I could catch a break
All my family knows is struggle we just tryna get a plate
My own promise before I die, that nine to five won't be my fate
Poppa told me hustle hard you're not that far from in the race
On the grind, all the time, praying that I hit a lick
When I lay, I start to pray that one day I'll give up my sins
Feel so stressed, I'm still depressed
Won't let it show beneath my skin
Let them hate while they debate, they'll never ever f*cking win

Lately, I've been, I've been feeling lonely
Being at rock bottom hasn't changed me as a person
It just made me realize nothings for certain
And that I live to serve a purpose

Even when the light goes down, when the curtains start to close
Will you still hold me down, I hope you do that's fo' show
Because I know how it feels, when you're all alone
Nobody is around, all I got is my songs
All I got is my breath
All I got is one mic
All I got is my word
All I got is one life
All I got is one day
All I got is tonight
Everyday I roll up, stay fly as a kite
I don't wanna go back, to the way I used to live
No more looking back, Father forgive me for my sins
Pray my friends hold me down, yeah I'll say it once again
Pray my friends hold me down, yeah I'll say it once again
