[Intro]
Will you stand with me
If I shed my heart on the beat
[Verse 1]
The start of a new chapter, my conviction I have to
Be an author not rapper, feelings I need to capture
The temptation of a rap-life is in sight and all I need is insight To lift off and kiss you all goodnight
Rhyming to get away from depression whenever the demon gets in
Tells me I'm a hopeful adolescent, kicking the stress in
"You'll never make it big, accept your fate and quit
A local kid fighting with titans, are you crazy kid?"
When your circle knows your potent, fear is your main opponent
You pray for a strong mentality to keep your pen in motion
A's can't calm my hunger, high school grad
Only high making music, raining thunder, adult minds try to put me under
"Son, will you uphold your father's will?
Secure your future, don't blow your chance like I did"
But I need something pivotal to quench my thirst
f** living in regret to the hearse, time to put in work
With every word my dream fades and it hurts
All want is to be heard
I don't need a better reason, twisted into believing
That I'm young, dumb and should aim for real achievements
You better shoot, not pinch me, I'm forever dreaming
[Hook]
Will you stand with me? Tell me, will you stand with me?
If I shed my heart on the beat, please somebody stand with me
[Verse 2]
Nowadays I'm feeling out of place, I wanna' dedicate
Every minute to paint the pain in the writing, to get away
Every nerve is reluctant, every move intimidates
Cause' I'm headed fast toward imposed absolutes
Tell them I wanna' be a doctor, that's half the truth
Growing closer and in my hear I'm breaking loose
f**ing anxiety glued to the back of my head
Rap about life not lead, leave a mark long after I'm dead
Sat with a friend and she told me "I pray for you"
I wanna' know if I will rise like angels do
And I have no substitute, if I ain't piercing through
The layer of fear, I'll never be at truce with myself
Me against the world on this demons, this song is proof
Separate author from spoof, separate me from you
A rare breed
And all I want is for you to know the pain
Please don't let these poems go in vein, yeah yeah
All I want is for you to know the pain
Please don't let these poems go in vein, yeah yeah
All I want is for you to know the pain
Please don't let these poems go in vein
Now can you feel me?
[Hook]
Will you stand with me? Tell me, will you stand with me?
If I shed my heart on the beat, please somebody stand with me
