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-

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…….

I-
