David Hayder - Worth It lyrics

[Hook] All I know is pain, all I see is rain, waiting for a change (Waiting for a change) Everyday the same, chasing after fame, I should be ashamed Tell me is it all worth it, worth it, yeah (Is is all worth it?) Tell me is it all worth it, worth it, yeah (Is it all worth it?) [Verse 1] I can't make up my mind about what people are saying When they're telling me, that the music industry is shady And that everyone controlling it is worshiping satin I just hope that what they're stating is a joke and they're just playing But if I become famous, can I live a normal life? Can I go to bed, with a peace of mind every night? Or will I become a product of my own self destruction? Just another slave to the industry's corruption? On top of that, not many people have made it To the promise land of the fame that they're chasing I hate wasting time on something I don't believe in Especially on something that can take away my freedom I'm questioning why I want this in the first place If chasing fame is a sickness then I've got the worst case of it Am I naive for thinking I'm the exception To these dream chasers who are lost in inception? [Hook] [Verse 2] I'm losing sight of why I'm pursuing this dream I know what they show is not what it seems Then I think to when I first started to rap I knew I was good, but afraid that they would laugh Then in Twelfth grade I showed my sk**s in front of English cla** Everybody loved it and I wished it didn't end so fast Then I wrote songs that I wanted to hear Rapping helped my self esteem and conquer my fears Rapping helped me, keep my head above water I swear that these songs made me wiser and smarter Thought my life was going well when I went to college But mom got fired, went crazy and violent Nothing worked out, like my actions lost purpose That's when I knew, I was losing my focus Stressing out because, I was drowning in bills Secretly wishing that my mom would get k**ed [Hook] [Verse 3] I don't want to be famous but I want to be known As the kid who puts in work and is making it on his own I know, it's not my time, so I'm, watching the throne I'm doing this for people who are feeling alone And everybody else who knows they're meant for something Forget all of the haters who will amount to nothing I know it sounds cliche but I do this for Hip-Hop Go after what you want, keep going and don't stop Live for the pursuit of happiness You won't regret it if you're going after it I'm not doing this to get material things I don't care about nice cars and fancy rings I just want to make music people feel While spreading the message to keep it real Now that I am serious, I'm obligated To be the voice of the dreamers through the songs I created [Hook]
