Growing up parents got me a guitar
Said you can do anything kid you can go far
You can be the president, fireman, race cars
The sky's 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 you grow up nobody treats you the same
They try take your future and make it real safe
You could be a doctor, accountant or something sane
But yo
Whatever 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 you want to strip that away?
So you feel ok?
'Cause if I make it to the top what does that really say?
That you shouldn't have given up, that you made the mistake
But if I fail you feel much better 'bout picking your lane right
Yea things are gonna get better real soon
Yea I'ma just do me you just do you
I swear it's gonna get better real soon
Don't let anyone tell you what you should do
I got a clear view
We're gonna make it soon
Just keep pushing through
Yea what you got to lose?
Yea what you got to lose?
Yea what you got to lose?
Just keep pushing through
'Cause what you got to lose?
I won't give up
I won't back down
'Til I'm lying 6 feet underneath the deep ground
I won't give up
I won't back down
'Cause nobody's stopping me except for me now
I won't give up
I won't back down
'Til I'm lying 6 feet underneath the deep ground
I won't give up
I won't back down
'Cause nobody's stopping me except for me now
And let's be honest life's a competition
So if I'm going to play then I'm gon' play to win it
I refuse to sit and rot at a desk all day
Unless I have a passion I'm working towards ok
I'd 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 else's dream instead of building mine
If you're hearing me this is meant to inspire
If you have a dream or if you have desires
A girl in your life that's making you feel that fire
Go fight for her man go die for her man
'Cause you only have one life one chance to do it
One chance to prove it to yourself so don't lose it
You got this fam just keep pushing on through it
One day you'll look back so glad you pursued it
Yea things are gonna get better real soon
Yea I'ma just do me you just do you
I swear it's gonna get better real soon
Don't let anyone tell you what you should do
I got a clear view
We're gonna make it soon
Just keep pushing through
Yea what you got to lose?
Yea what you got to lose?
Yea what you got to lose?
Just keep pushing through
'Cause what you got to lose?
I won't give up
I won't back down
'Til I'm lying 6 feet underneath the deep ground
I won't give up
I won't back down
'Cause nobody's stopping me except for me now
I won't give up
I won't back down
'Til I'm lying 6 feet underneath the deep ground
I won't give up
I won't back down
'Cause nobody's stopping me except for me now
You ain't gon' stop me now
Because I got this now
I got the formula and I'm about to drop it loud
So what we talking 'bout
There is no talking now
We take action with passion
We're rockin' now
It's tick tockin' now
The clocks tockin' down
And all I hear is haters try so hard to talk me down
But they can't stop the sound
Already on the ground
Everything is growing faster than I can count
You ain't gon' stop me now
Because I got this now
I got the formula and I'm about to drop it loud
So what we talking 'bout
There is no talking now
We take action with passion
We're rockin' now
It's tick tockin' now
The clocks tockin' down
And all I hear is haters try so hard to talk me down
But they can't stop the sound
Already on the ground
Everything is growing faster than I can count
