[Intro: Oliver, JCM and Travis Mollohan]
Oliver: So with all that being said Trav, we got this track that we've been working on, and we don't have a hook for it yet, but we thought you were perfect for it
JCM: Yeah, you got anything that you think you might be able to show us?
Travis: You know I've been, I've been thinking about it a lot, and I just realized, you know this is what I wanna do, this is me
[Bridge 1: Travis Mollohan]
You know it feels like lately, everything's out of reach
And I'm just tryina make it, but I think my belief
Is starting to waver, and I can feel my fear
But one thing's getting clearer, I'm getting outta here
[Hook: Travis Mollohan (JCM)]
I want what I can't want, what I can't have
It feels like the world's coming down on my head
I gotta fight right now for my own sake
This one's on me, I'll never break
(Let me get it from here)
[Verse 1: JCM]
Trying to calculate
How to send myself into the right trajectory
They putting walls up while I figure out how to break
And the thought of leaving gets my heart to palpitate
Do you not relate?
Tired of watching all the same cowards hatin'
Whether now or later, you know they bound for fadin'
Never really been room to contemplate it
No ifs, ands, buts man that sh**'s for the crows
Talk fly, but I ride by to see 'em walking in the same wooden soles
Sing the same tunes, make the same moves, by the same rules
Ain't nobody ever breaking the mold, it's
Something that I can't understand
Livin' repetition doesn't match with the plan
Tried getting by, coming off of the side
But they stifled my life, so I can't take command
Yeah, and I'm tired of that
Set a light under the fuse so I can fire it back
This time, man, I'm speaking my mind
Stars all aligned as I strive to design the track
Put my life on the line 'fore I cross it out
Kicking in the door 'fore I walk it out
They chose not to recognize me
So I'm making my way to the stage with a bang and a pow
[Bridge 2: Travis Mollohan]
So when they throw those lights, and I take center stage
I won't forget this moment, it's my proof that I've paid
Blood sweat tears, they may seem commonplace
But I felt every drop, so don't make no mistake
[Hook: Travis Mollohan]
[Verse 2: Oliver]
Yo I believe in the fact that I need to rap
Need to achieve my dreams of just slayin' tracks
I see my team stacking up the plaques
But if that's all we do I'm not okay with that
'Cause we received a gift, and if we spit
Any less than our best then we may as well quit
And leave this sh** to the Ye's and Dre's
Who blazed a path and gave back to this
Idea that there's more to the game than fame
A door wide open for the sh** we say
To matter more than the club banger, or, matter for
Each and every fan that's been turned away
So we'll learn to play, but in the meantime
Each rhyme is designed to make you feel a way
So you'll vibe inside and one day inscribe
Our lyrics on your flesh so you'll never break, hey
We want what we can't have, yeah we know
But put us on a mic and by the end of the night
We'll be feeling invincible so
This one goes out to the kid staying up at the end of our show
Whose friends will say
"Do you dare to dream?"
And he'll look at them, like
"You already know"
[Hook: Travis Mollohan]
[Verse 3: Oliver (JCM)]
I grew up believing in the dreamers
And graduated to needing the dream
And I knew that I wanted to live it
But I can't help but feel some part of me
(Holding me back from achieving
That thing that I want to become
And they held me down, but I'm breathing
And I was ready from birth to run)
And we'll never forget where we come from
But we may never know who we are
But if the hardest part is believing
Then maybe we're not too far
(You can push us out of your mind
I swear we're just a thought away
One mind to keep us humble
The other mind to make them pay)
And if I want what I can't have
Then know somehow I'll get in the end
The world may be coming down on our heads
But salvation's just around the bend
(I'm fighting now for my own sake
So if you bought the book, rip out a page
And if you bring that page then we'll sign it
'Cause we're the ones that you'll meet backstage)
[Outro: Travis Mollohan]
I want what I can't want, what I can't have
It feels like the world's coming down on my head
I gotta fight right now for my own sake
This one's on me, I'll never break
I'll never break
