Empty words

(You know I-)
Gotta make it, I can’t go back to the basement
(You know I-)
Gotta face it, nothing better than the basics,
I-know,
Times is hard, risk it all-and never fall,
Cuz the one that feels he has it all,
Is bout to lose it all,-he didn’t pay the cost,
Of what it really means, to step inside your dreams, -and be the boss.
(Yeah-)
How many times?
-did I violate the terms of dotted lines….
How many times?
-did I tell myself “be patient, you’ll be fine-“,
how many times?………
-did I know the truth?-and still ran back to you?
How many times?!
Did I tell myself a lie, and treat it as the truth?
I don’t know-but it’s been so long…..
I don’t know how I can still stand strong…..
-But it’s been a good time,
Get rich or die trying……
(That’s the motive-)
I-
[Hook]
Tried to get, the silent dreams to work…
(I….)
Tried to be the person that I never was,
(I…..)
-Said that ima do it, like they never could,
(I-)
Couldn’t let them play me, wish a nigha would-
(I-)
Couldnt keep control of what I keep inside
(I……..)
…………..realize my greatness couldn’t hide…….
