Talent - Chris Brenner

You wake up with the goal to bring these pages to the board

Make em listen to your words, to a story that you told

Of a man who beat the odds, despite the growing fear

That once you blow it though those speakers there is nothing they can hear

This is a new game, we have to ready our guns

Cause while the others fall asleep, we'll be writing this song

This job will never make you rest, so shall we take up the test?

May the melodies always pave our way to success

Times have changed and so have we

The stakes are higher cant you see

Your fate depends on luck, it makes us live in disbelief

some are skilled and some are not

and some work hard to get a shot

Dont get me wrong but talent is irrelevant for some

I only rap to make you see that there are other sides of me

That I could never make you see, are you still proud of me?

I don't care about technique, I bring a message across

You'll judge whatever I'll do, I won't be mourning your loss

If I could fill expectations, I wouldn't be making more music

I'd probably work in an office, or slave away as a student

My dream to stand on a stage and sing these words out aloud

Will keep me going, day to day, till I can sing to a crowd

That I am proud of

what I do, what I say

You might just piss in my boots

but I know that I'll be okay

Cause at the end of the day, I really love what I do

not even failure is able to come fuck with the truth

Times have changed and so have we

The stakes are higher cant you see

Your fate depends on luck, it makes us live in disbelief

some are skilled and some are not

and some work hard to get a shot

Dont get me wrong but talent is irrelevant for some

We have to constantly evolve or we will stay on the ground

I'll do whatever it takes to turn this table around

I may just stand on it, for the hell of it

take my guitar and make you listen to this serenade

To show you that I elevate, above all the rest

I will repeatedly swear, I stand up to confess

Once you discover your strength you make the most of it

no matter what they say, just keep on throwing it

Till your voice is heard and your song is sung

There comes a time in your life where you might think that you're done

Just remeber that theres a chance that you could prove them wrong

Sometimes you have to turn around to see how far you've come

come on play that again

Times have changed and so have we

The stakes are higher cant you see

Your fate depends on luck, it makes us live in disbelief

some are skilled and some are not

and some work hard to get a shot

Dont get me wrong but talent is irrelevant for some
