Lyrics:
Cause God said that He would always come and save me
his million dollar baby
Success would come easy not the dollars or the fame
But the slightest satisfaction that my compass of direction
was set to a soundtrack and a plot that never strayed me
And as a consequence
My vision was set to being narrow
Graduate Apollos in a town where I would share roads
with kids that knew my whole life, the friends that I could walk with
My life's a plane and I was sleeping at the cockpit
Autopilot everything, thought the simple times would last forever like a wedding ring
For every single chance creepin' into my peripheral
I'd follow it around like a minion, so despicable
You say I fell in love with a dream, product of what I could imagine
But the more I'd hype it up, the less it would actually happen
and I'm actually reaching the light, just never to the top
So while the clock ticked, the writer's block would only tick me off
But I think that I'm ascendin'
Star status pendin'
And I tell myself that everyone that tries to drag it down is dumbed down
'Cause I know that every hater that's been sent in
Just doesn't understand the metaphors that I'm presentin'
But I break
I got a human heart and it skips too
Only difference is it beats reality and bleeds truth
Grounded in the low tide, a part of me drownin in the bona fide
'Til I see the treasure that it leads to
Used to take for granted, man I think it would be nice there
And unachieved dreams began to populate my nightmares
And every last share of false scares and thick stares got to my head
God could you tell me how they get there
He says you think you have it bad, no voice like Valentino
No late night lounge sessions sippin' on Pelegrino
You think the earth hates you 'cause a person calls you Chino
But the weight, of this world, you can lift it, kilos
Hello I think that you could help me now
Tell me what the "I love you" craze is all about
Words of Chris Brown, when he said tell me fellas have you seen her
Pinch came fast, now I'm waking up a dreamer
World a little brighter, does it simply cause she can
So my blues and reds are now in magenta and cyan
I'm tryin' not to look, but attraction is insistent
You reside in my engine make me pump, pistons
But everything is foolish, dream is crumblin' and shaking
Perfection in the way of the music I been making
But excuses are excuses, and every time I missed an opportunity
it always left my human heart achin
People here talkin' say famous is what I should be
Everyone but you seein' exactly what they should see
But even at the top, my imagination tellin'
Everyday we are the greatest on a roll like tootsie
So I tell the world on nights when I'm crushed and losing sleep
Not that big of adele, I'm just rollin' in the deep
But I begin to understand, even life without a plan
Has a tendency to work, coexist like you and me
And everything imagined , every dream that we've conceived
You and I can make it better, perfect harmony
Cold rainy weather
Hands held together
If this isn't the life, then with you it better be
You say I'm reachin' for the stars
And when they slip I'll just hold on tighter
And every scar, every bruise, every loser in the way, is a burn when I mistook that star for a lighter
I'll overcome, to all the cheerin' and clappin'
But I need to share the vibes from all this singing and rapping
Shoutouts to the women made this last verse happen
i would prefer this rap part instead of Eminem and Royce :) could you put the lyrics up in the description ? :D
