[Chorus]
Looking around for hope somewhere in this life
I'm losing grip of who I am in all these battles I fight
Don't know what's soon to come of me
To have it all or nothing
As I travel down this path of life to become something
If I only could be an influence to somebody
If I only could change the world like Big Sean has taught me
If I only could
If I only could
If I only could
Then I would
[Verse 1]
I would like to become something greater than I am now
Whether through computer science or my musical sound
To be an influence unto others would satisfy me
To be remembered here on Earth would delight me
Not seeking fame but that life in ways is appealing to me
For me to make it there seems impossible to be
But, I should not have doubt, or think so pessimistically
Just keep on shining, keep on writing, then someone will see
How far I've came on my journey and help me go further
And make it on the XXL Freshman cover
Gaining supporters, and fans along the way
Then record labels catch on to the buzz I create
But it's all like a fantasy to me
Or maybe a wish, or maybe a dream
If it were to be a true reality
I would fall into a state of disbelief
Which wouldn't last long
That means I keep on
Continue being true and real in my songs
Until then I'm
[Chorus]
Looking around for hope somewhere in this life
I'm losing grip of who I am in all these battles I fight
Don't know what's soon to come of me
To have it all or nothing
As I travel down this path of life to become something
If I only could be an influence to somebody
If I only could change the world like Big Sean has taught me
If I only could
If I only could
If I only could
Then I would
[Verse 2]
Now if you have a dream, make sure you commit to it
Because it could easily slip away for you to lose it
Plant it deep in your heart and let it grow with you
Strategize what you'll do to make it come true
Disregard anyone who tells you that you won't succeed
Let their words push you closer to the life you seek
Keep yourself always going after something better
Trust yourself, love yourself, through all you may endeavor
Life won't be a simple road for you to travel down
But, know what you must do when those obstructions come around
Make decisions which you feel are best in any moment
And when that chance comes your way, go and own it
For it may never come around again
Plus it could be everything you really wanted
To bring bliss or satisfaction
Along with all the wants and desires you imagine
So dream big, my friends, and do what you've got to do
And all you wish to have will one day be possible
Don't give up on your dreams
[Chorus]
Looking around for hope somewhere in this life
I'm losing grip of who I am in all these battles I fight
Don't know what's soon to come of me
To have it all or nothing
As I travel down this path of life to become something
If I only could be an influence to somebody
If I only could change the world like Big Sean has taught me
If I only could
If I only could
If I only could
Then I would
