This is the time, this is the moment we shine, the moment we climb
Theres moments in life where we follow, we fly but Im still trying to find that sky
Looking for a reason to listen to me
Let me just give you some pieces of me
Let me just take out my heart that maybe youll see that Im not Superman that I really do bleed
Man Ill give you that thing that repeats in your car
But Ill give you that music to heal every scar
Look to the sky and I pray to the stars, find out that myself Ive been trapped in the dark
And I know what it is that Im here to do
Is this really the person Im supposed to be?
Trying to give you all my story but I can never find the words cause I dont know me
Im happy, Im sad, Im angry, Im mad and its all because of this past
When every kid in your school believes you can do it but really thinks that youre trash
When you got friends that say, well always be there… I look around, where you at?
Its like you all got up and left onto the next
What was my chance to pack?!
Putting in effort but I shouldve known better but being alone is just nothing but pressure
Through my endeavors Im piecing this letter to every kid trying to hold it together
This life is just long, and Im just from the street
Even the strongest of man will fall weak
But with all the pain and the hurt, the tears on your shirt
Thats what finding happiness means
And now you probably think I got this all down
But I dont even know what Im doing right now
When youre giving your best till your last breath
Theres a time where you just want to drown
Picked up myself from the cold hard ground
Friends dont believe what Im doing right now
Teachers telling me to pull all this right down
Got this whole time to turn this whole life around
And why follow all the steps when I can make my own trail?
Said the ship was sink now lets see me sail
Hopen that my momma just a fraction of a tail
Ive been giving you my heart every time its been impaled
I aint out callin names but you know who you are
Trying to shoot me down but I rose to the stars
No Im not there but I know Im not far
In the coldest of times you cant feel anymore
Trying to find happiness, I found it in you
Gave you it all and you break me in two
Broke and confused like I got nothing to lose
I dont choose to feel for someone, I just do
I dont choose to get over it, I get through
Built myself up and that was through you
Gave you more than my all
On my knees and Ima call
But still picked up your calls
Though to me, you dont mean nothing at all
I dont mean you mean nothing at all
So many things that I will never get out of my head I could write an endless letter
Tired of writing, you tore me apart when a wolf who put me together
See I dont know what I would write, what I could say, none of this ever comes easily
I could write you the cheesiest lines but never come close to what you really mean to me
What do you see in me?
I could feel that Im close but Im lost on where to go, Im just scared what its gon be like
But however it goes as you are holding me close I can tell what the future feels like
Like that day on that bridge, where we laughed and we kissed, I still see the moments still burning inside
Even with the pain and the bliss when the stress really hits you are the compass defining my mind
Feels like Im climbing, Im climbing
I look at my parents their dreams are so hallow
Mom could have had her liquor, we bicker she taught me straight from the bottle
Shes better, and healthy and sleeping
Told to me to chase all the things that Im dreaming
Give her the house she wants, all the money she needs
Ima grow her the Garden of Eden
Running out of time, Ive got nothing to waste
My own producer started to lose faith
Now my close friends are turning two faced, to face with two ways that go broke or get paid
Sitting at work, take a look at yourself
Your life is scheduled by somebody else
Your dreams and views are not something that you choose
But you swallow your twos because a check really helps
Living my life that will never be me
Look out your windows and maybe youll see
The things that you dream of, the things that you can do, the things that you crave for, the things you could be
So find what you love and dont ever desert it
You find what youre worth from the purpose inside
Living in a time with these kids are uncertain
Its eat or be eaten, the hungry survive
Losing my patience with dollars in times
Im unwinding my heart with these lines that I write
If youre losing your mind, you can jump into mine
Let me open your eyes to a world that is blind
This is a mistake that Im glad that Ive made it
Step into my shoes or dont judge where Ive been
Just look into my eyes and Ill tell you Ill make it
The way to your dream is the life within
