Growing up parents got me a guitar
Said u can do anything kid
u can go far
u can be the president
fireman race cars
The skys the limit kid
so shoot for the stars
So I strummed that guitar every day
Found a passion for music
never went away
I joined a couple bands
and played a few shows
Tried to impress the
girl in the front row
But soon enough everything
starts to change
As u grow up nobody
treats u the same
They try take ur future
and make it real safe
u could be a doctor
accountant or something sane
But yo
What ever happened
to the sky was the limit?
I fell in love with music
never thought it was a gimmick
I worked so hard on every tune
and every single lyric
My whole identity
dependent on being artistic
Now u want to strip that away?
So u feel ok?
Cuz if I make it to the top
what does that really say?
That u shouldnt have given up
that u made the mistake
But if I fail u feel much better
bout pickin' ur lane right
Yea things are gunna
get better real soon
Yea Ima just do me u just do u
I swear its gunna get better real soon
Dont let anyone tell u what u should do
I got a clear view
Were gunna make it soon
Just keep pushing through
Yea what u got to lose?
Yea what u got to lose?
Yea what u got to lose?
Just keep pushing through
Cuz what u got to lose?
I wont give up
I wont back down
Till Im lying 6 feet
underneath the deep ground
I wont give up
I wont back down
Cuz nobodys stopping me
e cept for me now
I wont give up
I wont back down
Till Im lying 6 feet
underneath the deep ground
I wont give up
I wont back down
Cuz nobodys stopping me
e cept for me now
And lets be honest lifes a competition
So if Im going to play
then Im gon play to win it
I refuse to sit and
rot at a desk all day
Unless I have a passion
Im working towards ok
Id rather be dead
on the outside than inside
A bullet to the head than 25 to life
In a cubicle alone just trying get by
Building someone elses dream
instead of building mine
If ur hearin' me this
is meant to inspire
If u have a dream
or if u have desires
A girl in ur life thats makin'
u feel that fire
Go fight for her man go die for her man
Cuz u only have one life
one chance to do it
One chance to prove it to
urself so dont lose it
u got this fam just keep
pushing on through it
One day ull look back
so glad u pursued it
Yea things are gunna
get better real soon
Yea Ima just do me u just do u
I swear its gunna get better real soon
Dont let anyone tell u what u should do
I got a clear view
Were gunna make it soon
Just keep pushing through
Yea what u got to lose?
Yea what u got to lose?
Yea what u got to lose?
Just keep pushing through
Cuz what u got to lose?
I wont give up
I wont back down
Till Im lying 6 feet
underneath the deep ground
I wont give up
I wont back down
Cuz nobodys stopping me
e cept for me now
I wont give up
I wont back down
Till Im lying 6 feet
underneath the deep ground
I wont give up
I wont back down
Cuz nobodys stopping me
e cept for me now
u aint gon stop me now
Because I got this now
I got the formula
and Im about to drop it loud
So what we talking bout
There is no talkin' now
We take action with passion
Were rockin' now
Its tick tockin' now
The clocks tockin' down
And all I hear is haters
try so hard to talk me down
But they cant stop the sound
Already on the ground
Everything is growing
faster than I can count
u aint gon stop me now
Because I got this now
I got the formula
and Im about to drop it loud
So what we talking bout
There is no talkin' now
We take action with passion
Were rockin' now
Its tick tockin' now
The clocks tockin' down
And all I hear is haters
try so hard to talk me down
But they cant stop the sound
Already on the ground
Everything is growing
faster than I can count
