[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
