Make Somethin' Of Yourself

(album: Movie - 2017)

Make something of yourself
Make something of yourself
Make something of yourself

Looking out the window thinking bout the shit I've been through
Not that shit I told you but the shit I never get to
Mr Smile for the camera
Always make it look so simple
Sometimes just keeping it together seems so fucking monumental
What if, what if
What if I crash and I burn?
Maybe I got so caught up in teaching I forgot how to learn
What if I let down all my friends
And all this music shit just ends
And everything's about to fall apart just like my father says to me
But ma mama say I'll make it
She say boy you gon be the greatest

So pardon me while I become a monster
And give out everything I have to offer
But right now it feels stupid that I gotta make it out alive
Time to pay the price it costs of to

Make something of yourself
Make something of yourself
Make something of yourself

Not proud of all the things I did
But I'm proud I can admit that
Yes I was a truly messed up kid
But I blessed up quick don't forget that
It's a shame my parents had to split
But I had nothing to do with that
Took a while to understand cause I thought love was a gift you don't give back
I guess, it all appeared a facade
And that's right around the time I stopped believing in God
Started believing in myself
Look I don't need no one else
And whether it was right or wrong
At the time I swear that shit really helped (it did)
But all I know is how to keep it moving
They try and stop me and I keep pursuing
I'm moving up like Hallelujah

So pardon me while I become a monster
And overcome everything I encounter
But right now it feels stupid that I gotta make it out alive
Time to pay the price it costs of to

Make something of yourself
Make something of yourself
Make something of yourself

Please just let me make it
Please just grant this wish for me for granted I won't take it
I need to make something of myself
I know I said I didn't believe earlier
But God if you're real I need some help
I need to make something
More than just money
I thought that was gon make me happy
It just made me so ugly
I really need to make something
Some kind of difference
I know I've got it inside me I just hope you'll be my witness
I'm gonna make something
