I wake up in the morning not a damn thing changing/
I look up at my ceiling fan, I see me hanging/
The writing's on the wall, but I ain't even done livin yet/
The world is never fair, but I learned and I've forgiven it/
You play to win the game and this game is like a puzzle box/
Screamin til I die cause I'll never keep my muzzle locked/
Never be afraid to let ya brain let loose/
If ya got it then ya flaunt it, better put it to use, yeah/
This is to the kids who never had that shot/
Raise your head up high, you can make it to the top/
I be tellin you it's possible, I'll put it on God/
That any dream is worth it, give a f** about the odds/
I mean freedom isn't free, you gotta fight for your belief/
I've been doubted my whole life, but I never met defeat/
And I can't but I will, and if I try I might fail/
But I would never be anything without hope to prevail/
The scent of her cigarette, I saw it in her eyes/
She was standing by the bar started feeding me lies/
I loved her little grin she would give starin at my lips/
Laughin at my speech when I leaned in for the kiss/
She pulled me in closer with her hands around my back/
But the string was long enough I didn't even feel the stab/
But we kept on movin and I tried to take it slow/
Didn't wanna rush a thing because she had a different glow/
Y'know, that little feeling that you get when you see her?/
It's like your life makes sense, you got nothin to fear?/
It was a temporary feeling but I wanted it to stay/
I was riding on this train til the final station break/
It was selfish, tryna bottle up a free spirit/
But really it was her the one that pulled me in the nearest/
She couldn't even tell me why she didn't wanna stay/
If I had to give a guess it's cause she's f**ing afraid, yeah/
This is to the kids who never had that shot/
Raise your head up high, you can make it to the top/
I be tellin you it's possible, I'll put it on God/
That any dream is worth it, give a f** about the odds/
I mean freedom isn't free, you gotta fight for your belief/
I've been doubted my whole life, but I never met defeat/
And I can't but I will, and if I try I might fail/
But I would never be anything without hope to prevail/
Everybody told me that I wouldn't be sh**/
... and I kinda believed em when I couldn't make a hit/
I was laughed at and ridiculed, and everybody hated me/
And every girl I talked to never thought of dating me/
An HTD from the MTG/
It's the one thing in life that I swore I wouldn't be/
But uh ...yeah... I think it's too late/
I guess I gotta roll with it, it's in my DNA/
When's it gonna stop, when's it finally gonna pay off/
I need ta make it now, cause I'm broke and got I laid off/
I don't give a sh** about these motherf**ers anymore/
These so called friends and this family and these penny who*es/
Choke on your words I hope you drown inside reality/
The truth of the matter is you're the one that lacks mentality/
You can tell me anything, I promise it's a lost cause/
I learned to love myself and my infinite flaws, yeah/
This is to the kids who never had that shot/
Raise your head up high, you can make it to the top/
I be tellin you it's possible, I'll put it on God/
That any dream is worth it, give a f** about the odds/
I mean freedom isn't free, you gotta fight for your belief/
I've been doubted my whole life, but I never met defeat/
And I can't but I will, and if I try I might fail/
But I would never be anything without hope to prevail/
