You might've been right your entire life
Only know this time is the one time you're wrong
Every time you wanna pick a fight
You always gotta go above and beyond
What's in the dark one day must come to light
When you see me remember I am here but I'm gone
I can't promise you things to be alright
But all I can do is leave you with this song
Open your eyes look around you tell me what do you see
Now up in the sky you see the birds as free as can be
Got tears in my eyes drowning me down as deep as the sea
It tears me inside split it I can feel the pain running deep
I gave it my best every time that I tried
And I took my pride and I put it aside
I beat myself up until I'm satisfied
I follow my dreams cuz they're my only guide
I get on my knees lift my head up to God
My lowest of lows I get up to be down
A Slippery slope I climb up and I slide
All the things I learned I done tried and applied (AGH)
Some do it for the fame I say that they can keep it
Promise we ain't the same I push it to the limit
They say to fake it 'til you make it but I'm not a gimmick
They say that Ima lose it I'm really in it to win it
Am I losin' face and losin' my reason
Did I lose my faith or lose my religion?
I been movin' in place stuck in one position
I'm on a different pace I can't live the present
You might've been right your entire life
Only know this time is the one time you're wrong
Every time you wanna pick a fight
You always gotta go above and beyond
What's in the dark one day must come to light
When you see me remember I am here but I'm gone
I can't promise you things to be alright
But all I can do is leave you with this song
I had to take some time to figure out what's this all 'bout
Was motivated by my thoughts now I'm just filled with doubt
Voices in my head driving me crazy and its getting loud
I don't feel I accomplished about nothing, nothing to be proud of
I'm not bout Gucci Prada
To me that all means nada
With all that I done gathered
I do all that I gotta
Always being true to me
You'll love me or you'll love me not
I ain't really got much but this music is all that I got
If smiling it does mean happy trust me I'm really not
Being cool with everybody got me heated hot
So I don't mix up wishy washy they stirring the pot
I'm tryna make sure everything in pocket & got it on lock
My highs and lows; my ups and down
I hopped around; I kept the bounce
Thought I was close; but I suppose
Only God knows; how far I'll go
I'm on my toes; I pick n choose
No win or lose; you win or learn
My arms up froze; the torch I rose
I lit the fuse; the flame's gonn burn
You might've been right your entire life
Only know this time is the one time you're wrong
Every time you wanna pick a fight
You always gotta go above and beyond
What's in the dark one day must come to light
When you see me remember I am here but I'm gone
I can't promise you things to be alright
But all I can do is leave you with this song
