You say you stay alive because of my music

Truthfully, sometimes I lose it

Truth is, I often get lost in self-comparison

Just remember success isn’t a sprint it’s a marathon

I often forget I have an impact, how that?

You think that I’d be happy now that I got fans, nah

Cos every day It’s just me and the mic staying up late

Baring a constant headache, I overwork so I can’t see straight

My mother tells me I should get some rest

But I gotta stay up all night, wanna be the best

Ten hours a day, never less

Retake after retake, gotta be perfect

They, say I make them happy

But I‘m making myself so miserable

It’s my own fault cos I

I have dreams that are so unattainable

But not to me

I wouldn’t have it any other way

But I just gotta say my say

Because some day, they’ll say that this pay

Came so easily, there was no despair

But I gotta tell you

Most days I’m down in the dumps

Looking at other people

I should just look in the mirror and fist pump

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t work so hard for other people

I’m totally selfish within my cerebral, that’s not evil

But I changed my mind when I got a note from a fan, it was lethal

Now every breath I take is for the power of the people

You say you stay alive cos of my music

Truthfully, sometimes I’m clueless

I feel like a lone pirate of this cruise ship

But you’re my lighthouse, gave me purpose, truth is

I, wanna be my best for you

Work hard on my sonics, it’s my gift to you

I, wanna be my best for you

I, try be my best for you

They say I make them happy

That’s all I wanna do

Now this is my gift to you

They say I make them happy

I’ll keep working just for you
