[Verse 1: Natty]
Lets pretend i never had a dream i wanted so bad
Lets pretend that pro - ducers never even wrote back
Pretend i never started writing lyrics in my note-book
Pretend that people never started saying i was so good
Now what happens if i never spoke into the microphone
I never stepped inside this booth, made it feel like i was home
What if people never tried to help me gain enough love
What if people wasn't there when i was feeling f**ed up
If none off that had happened then i'd still be in my worst place
Going through these battles so that I'm in need off first aid
While every day i lose the people i was always closest too
Lets pretend my heart was whole, i never had it broke in two
Pretend i didn't lose my mind & act up in a weird way
Pretend i didn't watch my peers fade as the years changed
What if i was born without this statement that i do have
Would it change me as a whole or turn me too a douche-bag
& what would happen if i didn't open up a can of worms?
Would my life be better off or would it take a tragic turn?
Now lets pretend depression never took a hold of my life
Pretend i grew a pair off wings & flew into the night sky
Pretend i wound up so lost, nobody could find me
I'm thankful that the ones i love, always stand beside me
If music wasn't here too soothe my soul then i'd be so nuts
But I'm grateful that it was, it means that i have grown up
