So Many Nights
(专辑: Dreaming With Our Eyes Open - 2015)
[Devvon Terrell:] So many nights I
pray for the
day I
knew for my dream, I
do whatever it takes Now here I
stand, no one in my way And now I'm surrounded by all that people say [Witt Lowry:] Yeah, they told me time is of the
essence I
ain't sweating, I'm blessed, blessing the
tenants While everybody changing, I
never stray from my message As I
sit inside my room, it's a
tomb to every invention And every line that I
never gave the
time or attention I'm learning my lesson, you looking for a
mention, it's funny What you would do for the
approval of a
room full of dummies You think I
made it? But I'm stuck here serving burgers for money It's funny how I'm selling beef for you to want beef from me My written turned into a
vision, my vision a
reality My chips are on my dream and you seem to try to devalue me Value me as less, I
got no desk or a
salary You value me by likes on my pictures, not personality Living my own reality, manifested my vision Looking at the
sky, thanked God for what I
was given Based on how I'm living, I'm wondering if I'll get it Your passion'll set you free and your fear is more like a
prison We're driven, living life, hope I'm doing it right Went through hell with a
knife, killed every demon in sight I
went through darkness of night to find the
brightest of light You only dreaming at night, I
turn my dream into life We're letting go of who left, you never thought it was right [Devvon Terrell:] So many nights I
pray for the
day I
knew for my dream, I
do whatever it takes Now here I
stand, no one in my way And now I'm surrounded by all that people say But I
will never change at all, all all all all I
will never change at all, all all all I
will never change at all, all all all all I
will never change at all, all all all I
will never change at all [Witt Lowry:] Yeah, I
could've never planned my life like this I
graduated, got a
job and still I
chose just to write like this You see the
people need advice like this Building something out of nothing I
ain't bluffing with a
sight like this I
know I'm nice when I
write, you're like "I don't get." A
hater all over my Twitter like "Mark, what's this?" It takes intelligence to listen, something I
can't give I
flip the
perspective, you see what I
just did? Do you get it? Now take a
minute, no it takes you a
minute to keep it real I'm still broke, but got beautiful women Who see me as an opportunity Not human, was given an opportunity from no one ever Who am I
kidding? Fought for my vision, built a
team who all believe in my passion I'm on my way out to LA, I
wonder "How did this happen?" I
turned my dream into a
team who all believe in my rap and You went from laughing to a
picture when my lyrics are captioned And honestly I
want this more than ever breathing The
people that need a
voice, I'm the
voice of people believing My family all believing it's all in me to achieve it Don't do it because we want it, we want it because we need it [Devvon Terrell:] So many nights I
pray for the
day I
knew for my dream, I
do whatever it takes Now here I
stand, no one in my way And now I'm surrounded by all that people say But I
will never change at all, all all all all I
will never change at all, all all all I
will never change at all, all all all all I
will never change at all, all all all I
will never change at all
