i know that i'm not close to perfect
that's the way it's got to be
if i ain't ever tried to make it,
how am i gonna see
everything that i have dreamed of
everything i plan to do
im gonna take it day by day, and know it all starts with you
and it starts with you, and it's not a lie,
but it's far from true
it don't make sense, like i'm missing something
like close friend turned distant cousin
i can relate to most of what they've been through
matter of fact, i'm right there with you
i been there when it didn't really work out
felt that pain the second you get turned out
i got lifted, on my feet again
it's a cold world till you feel the heat again
it's deep within the chambers of my heart
it was born with the thought that we made it from the start
i'm here to the finish line we just diminish
time ticks on and it don't get replenished
no breaks, high stakes and sacrifices
we all keep carving the ____
i know that i'm not close to perfect
that's the way it's got to be
if i ain't ever tried to make it,
how am i gonna see
everything that i have dreamed of
everything i plan to do
im gonna take it day by day, and know it all starts with you
the world keeps trying to take from me
the scared money don't make money
life is sweet, but death takes the cake
'cause you can't learn shit if you don't make mistakes
so we bounce back, every single time
speak the truth to crush any little lie
so strange how we all walk paths
that be far from this game but they still seem to intertwine
some days kinda feel real tense, confused, and all stressed
care less if you live or die
one thing that for sure i could never hide
is the thunderstorm in my belly when it's dinner time
so we just push past it
every day i'm reborn from the ashes
my passion dictates my actions
this right here is the risk, take ____
i know that i'm not close to perfect
that's the way it's got to be
if i ain't ever tried to make it,
how am i gonna see
everything that i have dreamed of
everything i plan to do
im gonna take it day by day, and know it all starts with you
and it ends with me, doing me, seeing things i was meant to be
like following dreams, never borrowing things
on track while the rest stay swallowing schemes
i ain't perfect, actually far from it
i'd rather stay strong on my own than to start learning
it's bugged though, i know we all want something
some of us won't stop until it all starts crumbling (?)
of who we will never know, they never did try
in a dog eat dog world it's live or let die
i'd rather fail than to never have tried
cause truth stands the test, every time
i won't forget though, my memory's fine
and i turn a deaf ear when they telling me lies
it's unconditional, i gotta move fast
ain't nothing gonna stop me, i promise you that
