Spend all my time as a poet
But If my life's a component of endless time while it flows by
Is time the opponent
And what am I but a moment
Fuckin scary
Find a reason to try
There's plenty time to change the world in the blink of an eye
That's why I fight for this
I gave my life to this music
I've been broken I've been down
But never tried to excuse it
I put up a better fight when I'm losin
When I write to get through it
I get to help the world climb through my music
I got depression weighing down on me
It's tryna hold me captive
Happiness ain't given out no passes
Plus I got anxiety that make me feel inactive
And still I find the time to scribble guidance to the masses
This is education from a man who's lost it all and gained it back again
And I thank the lord I'm on my path again
I got quite a past
Knowin fame'll put a target on my back
But I'll be damned if that shit make me turn my back on them
Everyone's the devil from somebodies perspective
Get the microscope
They get defensive and guarded
I'm just here to show you empathy is effective
And that it's not about you
It's about where your heart is
Got some problems, they don't know
Got some issues I don't show
All this weight I put on me
Act like I don't feel but I still bleed
They don't know what it's like to feel
To have no emotions like it's been killed
All this pain that I have to hide
Times it feels like I can break down and cry
They don't know (No they don't)
They don't know (No)
They don't know (Not at all)
They don't know
Spend all my time as a writer
And write about being a fighter
To find a future that's brighter
Brighter than the flame of my anger
And my pain as the igniter
Times I'd pull an all nighter
Just to make rhymes a bit tighter
Every morning I'm tired
Hope one day that it's worth it
With all the times that I'm hurtin
Hope to make someone feel better
That's how I know that it's working
All this pain and resentment
Yes it's there not a question
Been hurt so many times
My life no one's been let in
I'm always in conflict with all of my demons
I'm packing my bags, let them know that I'm leaving
I'm falling for their lies, I'm the one they deceiving
Getting stabbed in the back, ignoring the fact that I'm bleeding
I knew that if I wanted this dream, I had to make some sacrifices
Killing my demons grabbing a knife and gun in hand
I don't think you understand
How many times I wanted to pull the trigger and make it all end
How am I gonna make an impact, especially when I'm gone
Who's explaining to my daughter
That with me there was something wrong
But it's time to move on
All my demons I'm taking every single one of them on
Hope you can persevere at the end of this song
Got some problems, they don't know
Got some issues I don't show
All this weight I put on me
Act like I don't feel but I still bleed
They don't know what it's like to feel
To have no emotions like it's been killed
All this pain that I have to hide
Times it feels like I can break down and cry
They don't know (No they don't)
They don't know (No)
They don't know (Not at all)
They don't know
