[Chorus: RoZe]
I think about the last time I felt, yeah
Then I think about everyone I helped
Could it be the hand I was dealt? Yeah
And if I got to do this all by myself, I will
If I got to keep survivin' or fightin' with my head above the clouds
And if I got to keep on strivin' or writin', I will
Every time I think I'm gonna have my chance, all my friends begin to doubt
Now whenever I'm told I won't or I can't, I will, yeah
[Verse 1: Abstract]
I've been livin' in my own head
Demons livin' in my own bed
These days, I don't trip on what nobody said (nobody said)
There ain't shit I gotta prove to anybody, yeah (yeah-ah-ah)
I became a motivator, a style innovator
Now we headed up like we on a elevator
They say my tracks' hot, both sides of the equator
And I'm never talkin' magazines till I'm on The FADER
But I know I'm hard on myself
Say it ain't good for my health
In the moment, ain't finding wealth
Feels like every time I make a move, I'm moving in stealth
No matter what I do, it feel like nothing will help
Till I get that apartment up in the rainiest city
Working on beats in the morning, performin' later that night
Fly out with Drumma, Craig, and Blulake on a red-eye flight
We'll be playin a new city every goddamn night (let's go!)
[Chorus: RoZe]
I think about the last time I felt, yeah
Then I think about everyone I helped
Could it be the hand I was dealt? Yeah
And if I got to do this all by myself, I will
If I got to keep survivin' or fightin' with my head above the clouds
And if I got to keep on strivin' or writin', I will
Every time I think I'm gonna have my chance, all my friends begin to doubt
Now whenever I'm told I won't or I can't, I will, yeah
[Verse 2: Abstract]
Wonder why I'm locked in my room
Wonder why I ain't textin' back
Wonder why I ain't on the town
Wonder why you heard I was home but you ain't seen me around
I been workin', writin', plottin', knockin', watchin', or readin'
Ain't takin' for granted a single minute I'm breathin'
You know I'm workin' to get it till the day I ain't stressin'
Believe in puttin' effort even when you know it's been destined
I got questions; I need answers
Violence spreadin' like a cancer
Tryna make a difference through this music business, know I can
I got fans who overseas, I'm just tryna give 'em hope
But if I ain't ever heard, they ain't ever gonna know
I know music therapeutic more than anybody, man
We got problems in the States; state of problems outta hand
But if they lend an ear, think I could lend 'em a chance
'Cause I got faith in the world; I put my faith in my fans
[Chorus: RoZe]
I think about the last time I felt, yeah
Then I think about everyone I helped
Could it be the hand I was dealt? Yeah
And if I got to do this all by myself, I will
If I got to keep survivin' or fightin' with my head above the clouds
And if I got to keep on strivin' or writin', I will
Every time I think I'm gonna have my chance, all my friends begin to doubt
Now whenever I'm told I won't or I can't, I will, yeah
I think about the last time I felt, yeah
Then I think about everyone I helped
Could it be the hand I was dealt? Yeah
And if I got to do this all by myself, I will
If I got to keep survivin' or fightin' with my head above the clouds
And if I got to keep on strivin' or writin', I will
Every time I think I'm gonna have my chance, all my friends begin to doubt
