Verse 1 (Ivan B):
They told me no but I rebelled
So much anger that I held
Always screaming inside this mic until my vocal chords swelled
I wrote down all I've withheld
But I regret what I spilled
See everybody has a story, be leave no story to tell
I'm drifting, living, giving everything I got for a message
To the girl at the bar, trying to forget what she felt
How another round of shots will never swallow the guilt
That no gal will bring you happiness, you find that yourself
Writing these phrases and lines for that one kid who's behind
Who's been taking orders for customers that have been waiting in line
Taking sh** from his boss but he thinks he's doing just fine
Don't you think your life is more than just dollars and fries?
Every single person I know could be so much more than a check
So much more than a grade
So much more than a test
I stress, been trying to run with the best
I feel the weight on my chest
School got me going in debt
Don't want to live to exist
And yeah, I'm torn to write what's real and what sells
How it's about to be but not the story it entails
And I'm done with all the doubts, tryna be the biggest figure
In this life it's more than me, that's why it's called the bigger picture
Every blog, network, label they don't believe in my endeavor
The day you want to handshake, I'd be glad to give a finger
Put this love to anybody with doubts me, I got my team, we stand proudly
Myself is what I've been finding
Left all my demons behind me
Change the world like the climate
If there's a way, I'ma find it
It's up to you to stand by it
I'll be the voice for the silent
Get your dream; hold your breath and just jump
It's your life, you got one
So don't be scared what's to come
Not many realize what the value of a moment is
The value of your breath is what you think it is
And I can feel it every second, I know that it's getting closer every night, it's getting harder so my mind keeps rolling over
I'm over just being patient and just blaming everything
Lately losing sight of who I truly wanna be
Or is it my heart is showing what I really wanna see
See, I don't know if it's me that's talking or if it's just the fatigue
CHORUS(Ivan B):
Or maybe I've been losing my mind right now
Tell me where'd it go (x2)
Cause I don't know where I stand right now
And when my heart turns cold
And when there's nothing left to save
And if I lose my brain
Would you walk with me?
Verse 2 (Ivan B):
Now everybody is a rapper
But got no message to give
Everybody wants more, but when will you give?
See I'm searchin' and learnin', but feelin' lost from within
I put this faith into God but it's just been silence from Him
Barely affording these bills
Literally about to give in
You're valued by your wealth, that's just the world we live in
Live a life around a dollar and it doesn't make sense
Cause it's money runs the world but these problems aren't paper-thin
I'm laying on my bed, thinking what's it's like to be dead
Tell me is it better over there or is just all in my head
You see this life is a blessing, impressions make it a mess
We idolize possessions just so you could stick out your chest
Not tryna' tell you how to live, convince you how to be
I'm writing vivid descriptions of all the sh** I gotta see
Doubted before I started
Even now up on the scene
I wear my heart up on my sleeves
Just so you could know… me
But you know just as much as I do
Chase what you love, or let failure define you
The past is always behind you
But it's your choice to let go
Crazy to think that yesterday could have so much control
But whether I weather this weather or lever down in my grave
I look down at the stars
Look at how far we've came
When the world feels like it's sinking, it's okay to feel drained
Been hungered for recognition till there's nothin' to save
CHORUS (Ivan B):
Or maybe I've been losing my mind right now
Tell me where'd it go (x2)
Cause I don't know where I stand right now
And when my heart turns cold
And when there's nothing left to save
And if I lose my brain
Would you walk with me?
Or maybe I've been losing my mind right now
Tell me where'd it go (x2)
Cause I don't know where I stand right now
And when my heart turns cold
And when there's nothing left to save
And if I lose my brain
Would you walk with me?
…
Would you walk with me?
If I lost my way?
Would you walk with me?
