Yeah
That's real
I've been trying to a really long time
To stay on the grind
And I've been succeeding, but it's not that easy
I've gone through a lot of pain
Just to try and make it in this game
f**, I've been drive insane
The first song I ever wrote was when I was ten
I didn't even know real life back then
I didn't know trials, or heartache
I didn't know that my heart would break
When my first love left me for someone else
That day was like hell
But I moved on and found someone better
Karma's a b**h and he knows it
I grew up seeing a lot of things that people didn't
Country clubs and private jets
I didn't even know the real world yet
f**, I don't even know if I know it yet
I don't know if I ever will
But I know I've dealt with personal problems
Like pill popping, and anxiety
And depression, and boys leaving me
But sh**, who hasn't?
I remember sitting on the beach
Beautiful sunset and everyone was happy
But I wasn't happy, I was freaking out
And that's when I realized that it was time for me to get some help
Some people gotta deal with that sh** and I was one of them
I'm a little better now, I don't feel like I'll drown
And I know my calling is to entertain
And to show people they're dreams are real
And I mean that, I see that
And I preach that, and I speak that
And I'll show that until the day I die
If I could help anyone who have felt like me, then thats a good thing
I remember when I was on the soccer team
And people used to bully me
Cause I was the rich kid from west county
And they lived farther out
And I remember feeling so down
Like there was something that was wrong with me
But now I realize that money doesn't even mean a f**ing thing
That had nothing to do with me, it had something to do with them
And maybe they'll think about how they treated me
Maybe they'll be sorry
And maybe they'll feel bad when I don't give them a single thing
Cause I know the people who've been there for me
Through it all, the good times and the bad
And I'm so thankful for that
And I wanna do some real sh**, yeah I wanna make a difference
I'm tired of just sitting around, watching the whole world around me spin around
And I don't know, how to help, but I really want to try
Cause I know what it feels like to feel down, like you can't get up
Cause I've been there before
I felt helpless, and horrible, and felt like I couldn't do sh**
But I know that you can get better, and I know that you will
If you believe in yourself
You just gotta pick yourself up when you fall down
Cause no one else is gonna stick around, it's only you in the end
And you can't pretend that someone's gonna come around and save you
Cause no one will, you're the only hero in your life
You gotta start doing things right
And whether I'm sick or broken hearted
I'll make sure the fire in my heart gets started
Cause I got a drive and a mentality that people will start to look up to me
And they'll believe in me, when they hear lyrics so inspiring
That's why I write songs about real life
That's why I'm trying to make sure I do this right
Cause I don't wanna be a sell out, or a fake, or a phony, or whatever
I'm just trying to make sure that I'm getting better
Every single day at this craft, cause that's what I'm good at it

Is she serious? She can't rap, she can't do that. It's just a phase
I still don't believe you. I guess we'll find out
