VERSE:

Died for the music, wrote it from the heart cause i ride for the music

Cried for the music, the blood, sweat, and tears are the reason that i won't give into fear..

Through the years, then my passion delivered

I was rappin to capture the past, never quivered, never shook

A look in my life would tell it all

I gave it everything of the price to never fall

Observed all the pain and struggle and made it poetry

And made a pact to hustle until they know its me

Nothin slowin me down, i was a slave to the trade and i gave it my best every day

I never asked for a zen return

It was all passion and pride hopin heads will get turned

Sooner or later the fans generated with a love for the words and the craft i created

I was an addict to the feedback from it

Consumers were the plug drug runners and i loved it

But nowadays i dont even seem to write

Like the passion inside of me died without a fight

CHORUS:

Maybe its not alright, maybe im killing myself

Maybe im dying to know why

Maybe im out of time, maybe im over my head

Maybe im dying to know why

VERSE:

Im lost in it, remembering the days that i first made music and set up all my pages

Those endeavors were the greatest that ive ever known

I was on top of the world and couldn't let it go

I let it show globally and made a name

I dont really know if i expected it to stay the same

But it didn't and i know that shit is true

Cause every single time that i go back in the booth

A new encounter with the battle that i rage on myself is in most ways scattering my brain

What matters ain't the fact that i had to change

Its the fact that i refuse to do it back in the day

I lock myself in a box honestly, i never dared to be different and that wasn't too promising

I made what they wanted me to become

And i just hope it ain't too late for me or the passion is done

CHORUS:

Maybe its not alright, maybe im killing myself

Maybe im dying to know why

Maybe im out of time, maybe im over my head

Maybe im dying to know why

BRIDGE:

Died for the music, wrote it from the heart cause i ride for the music

Cried for the music, the blood, sweat, and tears are the reason that i won't give into fear..

Ride for the music, wrote it from the heart, i would die for the music

Cried for the music, the blood, sweat, and tears are the reason that i won't give into fear...

CHORUS:

Maybe its not alright, maybe im killing myself

Maybe im dying to know why

Maybe im out of time, maybe im over my head

Maybe im dying to know why
