David the Goliath - Final Words lyrics

[Verse] When was the last time you did something 'cause you loved it When you dealt with the hate when was the last time you tried to rise above it Stop telling me your vision, just go ahead and do it You say you wanna change the world, well go ahead and prove it You've lost direction 'cause the lack of support 'Cause the lack of belief Now you've given up but now who's holding down the fort? Bless you for trying I mean at least you had the drive You said doing what you wanted was when you finally felt alive So what happened to that feeling? That didn't have to go nowhere I saw that shine in your eye, don't talk to me like you never cared So many people afraid to be who they are because they say they're kinda out there Put life in a choke hold, Malcolm said it was not fair Honestly who cares if no one likes your style If no one likes your ideas If people care bout your opinions Do things 'cause you love it 'Cause it's something you wanna do Go at it or give up that's only something you can choose The girl that the last song is about probably don't even feel the same way But that's no reason to quit and throw the whole song away Reject me now, and I'll go after again some other day And if she doesn't like me then, guess what? I'm still gonna try Nothing you say or do will convince there's a better guy Nothing they say or do convince me I'll never make it here Like the rap game is too tough Their warnings never made me scared That was just another reason for me to keep going To prove everybody wrong and show them I know where I'm going Everybody out here is starting to sound so similar Listen to the words that I'm saying man, live and learn It doesn't matter what inspirational figures try to get across This generation is impatient and they get to thinking that they're better off Without another's wisdom They say they have all the answers and they can win it on they own I was an only child, had no friends in my neighborhood And let me tell you something, it's tough being alone But at the same time too shy to talk to any of my friends on the phone Without guidance, I don't know where I'd be now The vision was always there it's just so much clearer to see now I've still got a sharp mind, man I'll never be senile I've got people who I love who don't even show they face now It's hard for me to just hang out, there's different problems that I face now I'm always face down I used to be lost and I'm still not found I'm more lost than I ever was but at least I got friends There's texts that I've typed that I regret never sending My life is a big "what if" that I think is never ending Like this time in middle school where I was talking to this girl I didn't know it at the time, but she was the center of my whole world Turned out we both caught feels for each other but none of us made a move The same thing is happening but now I got a different mood I know my way around it I know how it works Shout out to the girls who got booty but don't feel the need to twerk That's what I love man, honesty at it's purest I'm feeling so distant and alone like a third world country tourist People coming up to me and asking if I've hit a blunt Or if I've been to a best friend's house party and gotten drunk They laugh at me these days because I still have my virginity That seems like an accomplishment, sad that it's uncommon Like someone said what our generation should be like Everybody's looking up or down, and I'm focused at the center I know what my answers are, and now I'm waiting for the questions You're only popular if you've got over 500 Twitter mentions Or 5000 followers, 100 likes on average Wear bucket hats, Elites, and say words like savage Saying ball is life and always showing off your J's Rejected all those paths, and now look who's getting paid Well not me because I'm releasing this for free 'Cause I feel like you shouldn't pay for the truth, it should come easily If you don't take something from this verse then pa** the message on If you listen to more than the beat, this is more than just a song These days rappers are seen as so sacrilegious Oh he makes fun of gays and spits d**h threats so he must not be religious I'm tired of all the judgments and the a**umptions and the hate, man Get to know a person first before you say what he ain't, man The sad thing is that I know fame will change me The game is evolving, revolving there's gonna be people who wanna up stage me Catch me at my worst time and start to outrage me My projects will live forever, I don't know what the word age means Man the world is changing Man I think I'm changing [Outro] But I'm still here so I guess I got some time left I'm honestly surprised that most of you haven't left yet I'm looking back at my origin story and wondering where the time went That's back to the future, back to the past, blast from the past, backspace all over the place In a year I might be reaching heights trampolines could only dream of She told me that she ain't ever see a shooting star before So what do you think 2Pac got shot for? Yeah, when was the last time you did something 'cause you loved it?
