Keep Hope Alive

(album: The Awakening - 2016)

Keep reaching
Keep dreaming
You'll never win if you never try
So kill your doubts, keep hope alive

You see it takes perseverance, takes more than ears to hear it
Takes more than tears to feel it, takes more than pain to heal it, regain your spirit, don't take your time
Gotta face your grind, gotta take your mind and clear it
No time to kill, you got the skills behind the wheel now steer it
I tried being lazy it really wasn't me
Cause a man that doesn't work now that's a man that doesn't eat
And I can see my future obstacles preparing there defeat
Cause I'm standing in the mirror and I'm staring at a beast
Can't face defeat, and I can't be weak because this struggle is tough
Gotta bring that heat, get back to your feet and say enough is enough
You see I fell to the ground looked around and found I was down on my luck
So stepped my game my pride my confidence and stamina up
And now I'm smashing all my foes
I'm passing all my foes, cause I got passion and it shows
Go go gadget reach my goals
If you came to see greatness just pass me the mic
This is what I tell the people when they ask me advice

Keep reaching
Keep dreaming
You'll never win if you never try
So kill your doubts, keep hope alive

And I know this world is cold
The struggles getting old
No aces in my hole
But it doesn't mean I'll fold
You see the crown is what I want
No that's what I need
Truthfully I want success as bad as I want to breath
I got to succeed got to believe got to achieve
Got to proceed even if I gotta bleed
So I roll up my sleeves, and promise I'll never leave
Was behind for so long, now I'm taking the lead
My mentality right now is like winning or die
Our goals start from the ground and they end in the sky
Now it seems I'm growing wings cause I'm beginning to fly
Cause you'll never reach your goals if you're not willing to try
And now I'm smashing all my foes
I'm passing all my foes, cause I got passion and it shows
Go go gadget reach my goals
If you came to see greatness just pass me the mic
This is what I tell the people when they ask me advice

I got what it takes and I
Will give it everything I got
Not be afraid to take my spot
Lose, nor will I stop

It seems like everyone's afraid to fail or afraid to lose
But you fail to realize that you're losing right now by not ever giving yourself that chance
In that state of mind you will forever remain
Imprisoned by your own limitations

Lost one of my best friends to a disastrous life
We all seem to fall apart whenever tragedy strikes
When I fall to my knees from hazardous heights
And I look up to the sky and ask for advice I hear

Keep reaching
Keep dreaming
You'll never win if you never try
So kill your doubts, keep hope alive
Keep reaching
Keep dreaming
You'll never strive, if you never try
So through the pain, keep hope alive
