Jack Kennedy - I'll Be Rooting for You Lyrics

Flights across the country coming home to take care of my parents
Forget failing swear this is the shit that I'm scared of
So much money coming they'll have to tax me in tariffs
But you don't know what people go through you shouldn't compare us
Promised my dad I'd work until my arms give out,
Until my legs break my voice is hoarse my muscles sore
And after all this time finally my dreams are finally starting to take shape
Been focused on my own path never running the same race
Took me twice as long as I ever thought it could though
But if it happens and I'm happy we'll call it good though
You only see the end result want to trade with where you know you should go
The funny thing about it you probably would though
Dead silent dark nights
Been at battle fighting my feelings
If my life's a movie I'd be the hero and the villain
I don't pray for an easy life if god exists god willing
When you know that pain is strength you don't feel a need to conceal it

I've been stuck in ruts felt like months turned to years
I've had fears turn to joy deep enough it brought me tears
It all just got me here
I hope you look inside try to tell yourself the truth
And know this I'll be rooting for you

I'm just pouring out of me what other people pouring into me
They saw in me everything that I just didn't see
Taught me life's not about the start or the finish its in between
Let it change my mind running sprints now I've been getting lean
My flows been getting mean my raps been getting harder
F*ck the rap game I used to want to be a part of it
Don't worry bout where I'm going now I'm starting to go the farthest
Watch it happen pretty soon I'll be a target
People don't believe you can do what they haven't seen you do
Don't let it break your spirit
In the end it makes you fearless
And all respect I don't really need your praise
Even though it feels good for me to hear it
Been working like a dog owe that to my family and friends
Gotta honor them by being the best person that I can
And if you think I'll never make it guess it just depends
I'm trying to change how my story ends

I'm headed straight for my problems never scared never run
Tell my myself the truth straightest story never spun
Don't you want to believe you can do what you've never done?
Don't you want to see that you can change who you become?
Only way that I've found is to be honest with myself
And to forgive my ego when I didn't want to ask for help
All the time I looked inside it only helped my mental health
Fans don't matter when you're a fan of yourself

I've been stuck in ruts that felt like months that turned to years
I've had fears turn to joy that's deep enough it brought me tears
It all just brought me here
I hope you look inside and try to tell yourself the truth
But no matter what what you find
And know this I'll be rooting for you
