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 ur future and make it real safe
You 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 you want to strip that away?
So you feel ok?
Cuz 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 pickin your lane right

Yea things are gunna get better real soon
Yea ima just do me you just do you
I swear it's gunna get better real soon
Don't let anyone tell u what you should do

I got a clear view
We're gunna 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

Cuz what you got to lose?

I won't give up

I wont back down

Till I'm lying 6 feet underneath the deep ground

I won't give up

I won't back down

Cuz nobody's stopping me except for me now

And let's be honest life's a competition

 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

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 else's dream instead of building mine

If you're hearin me this is meant to inspire

If you have a dream or if u have desires

A girl in your life thats makin u feel that fire

Go fight for her man go die for her man

Cuz 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

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 talkin 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
