Changes

You can't let nobody stand in your way
You just gotta get back up, yeah
You just gotta get back up, oh
And take down everything that you cannot change now
You just gotta get back up, yeah
You just gotta get back up, oh

Picture this, just a kid who's 21
Caught up in the world tryin' to figure where to go but he really don't know so he runs
From everything that he knows, everyone that he loves
Everyone that he once trusted but pushed away with a shove
Lost a couple loved ones above to all of the doves
Many issues but he sweeps em all underneath of the rug
He bottles up he fights he drinks
Late at night he just thinks
He lies awake can't get a wink prepares himself to sink
Finally falls, slips into a dream that's commonly lucid
Sees his name up in the lights and he shoots it he cannot believe
That anyone would wanna hear his words
Tell him to work on school and quit perfecting his verse
I mean really what is he worth? One in a million
If only they knew what he's been through bouncing back he's resilient
Waiting for them to feel it, close his wounds with the sealant
Eyes are glued to the pen and paper he's gonna reveal it, no you can't

You can't let nobody stand in your way
You just gotta get back up, yeah
You just gotta get back up, oh
And take down everything that you cannot change now
You just gotta get back up, yeah
You just gotta get back up, oh

Ever since I was a little kid I knew exactly what I really wanted to be
Working real hard with an attitude only resulting in money for my family
Even though we have been broken apart, I'll make it all change I promise you'll see
On my feet, tell my loved ones that I will never leave
Apologize for the disappointments I made throughout my life
I know that I fucked up, but I promise I won't make em twice I'm cold as ice
But I can't keep blaming em on the girl who I thought
Would be my wife and have my kids the only two reasons I started to write
Music showed me my light, it took me outta my dark
It's picked me up and it's shot me down, but it ignited my sparks
Still he can't believe that they would wanna hear his words
Tell him to work on school and quit perfecting his verse
I mean really what is he worth? One in a million
If only they knew what he's been through bouncing back he's resilient
Waiting for them to feel it, close his wounds with the sealant
Eyes are glued to the pen and paper he's gonna reveal it, no you can't
