Speechless
(专辑: Long Time Coming - 2016)
If I'm so wrong, should I
write? Wanting more of this life I've looked in mirrors to find myself, but I'm still searching for light Temporary happiness is what I
found that I'm in But screw that life, I'll break that normal way they told me to live They told me, "Get a
degree," I
told 'em, "Give me a
chance" Yeah, they were laughing at my dreams but that's a
part of my plan 'Cause first they hate you, then they love you-now I'm all in demand I
owe it to all of my critics, everything that I
am Yeah, my dream is simple-be a
voice to the
unheard And change the
game with every lyric wrote and every word In an industry-looking more like politics Used to hearing teachers say I
was just a
problem kid The
kid with ADD that somehow made it by Used to never speak my mind, now I
let my lyrics fly Yeah, I'm aiming for the
top 'cause they said I
wouldn't reach it I
was raised inside that pulpit, so of course they yelling, "Preach it" I
was a
pastor's kid that hated the
label I
had Every single person I
met compared me to Dad People always tried to find the
worst in me Life under the
magnifying glass wasn't meant for me, 'cause I
have made some mistakes But know that I
did And I've been rethinking life and everything that I
lived There's more to life than a
nine to five I
get married then I
die I've got too much potential to be content with getting by While you worried 'bout a
social life, I
just got my focus right Locked inside my room, dreams I
had at 14 came to life Always wanted this, I'm craving for this feeling Of being something that they want, someone that's appealing I
hate the
mirror, it reminds me everything I'm not They say I've got it all, but what's it all if I
am lost? I'ma open up, let me paint a
picture If I
had a
thousand words, I
promise I
could leave you speechless, yeah This is all that I
have This is all that I
want This is all that I
have This is all that I
want, yeah I
told you all, I
told you all I'd take it over now, you know that we are I
told you all, I
told you all I'd take it over now, you know that we are I'm lying if I
said opinions never get to me Heart and soul in this and everything left in between I'm just a
different breed, a
living breathing symphony 'Cause I
got all this music in my chest, so I
just let it leak I'm gaining confidence and working harder than my peers While they drown in student debt, I'll just embrace my fears I
won't fall into the
system, I
got things to do I
know I
was never perfect but that is the
same for you I've been depressed and I
want you to know My faith has faded, lately, I've just been feeling alone So pray for me, still I'm patiently waiting for the
day That the
world will finally listen and everyone knows my name Yeah, I've been in that crowd-been that kid with a
dream I
see these kids from the
stage looking right up to me I
told 'em, "Look what happened" I
said I
would turn my vision into hype Buzzing now, I
could kill the
game and bring it back to life I
know I
was put on Earth for a
reason I
don't got it figured out, but I
still know I'm believing I
got problems, I
got issues, I
got skeletons in closets I've been tryna hide for years right behind a
broken promise, yeah Losing trust for some friends who say they want the
best But when I
turn my back, they try to end all my success I
made a
label by myself, built a
fanbase by myself When they ask if I
need help, I'll tell 'em I
don't need it I've had my mind set on this since I
was seventeen Rep the
Noise Unheard, now everybody heard of me Looking back, I'm thanking God for my critics One's doubting me today will want the
life that I'm living Everybody's got a
story, I've just got the
guts to share it now Rising to the
top and I
hope I'm never coming down I'ma open up, let me paint a
picture If I
had a
thousand words, I
promise I
could leave you speechless, yeah (I could leave you speechless, yeah, yeah) (I could leave you speechless, yeah, yeah) (I could leave you speechless, yeah, yeah)
