Dan Haynes - So Many Nights lyrics

[Intro: Devvon Terrell] So many nights I pray for the day I knew for my dream, I do whatever it takes Now here I stand, no one in my way And now I'm surrounded by all that people say [Verse 1: Witt Lowry] Yeah, they told me time is of the essence I ain't sweating, I'm blessed, blessing the tenants While everybody changing, I never stray from my message As I sit inside my room, it's a tomb to every invention And every line that I never gave the time or attention I'm learning my lesson, you looking for a mention, it's funny What you would do for the approval of a room full of dummies You think I made it?, but I'm stuck here serving burgers for money It's funny how I'm selling beef for you to want beef from me My written turned into a vision, my vision a reality My chips are on my dream and you seem to try to devalue me Value me as less, I got no desk or a salary You value me by likes on my pictures, not personality Living my own reality, manifested my vision Looking at the sky, thanked God for what I was given Based on how I'm living, I'm wondering if I'll get it Your pa**ion'll set you free and your fear is more like a prison We're driven, living life, hope I'm doing it right Went through hell with a knife, k**ed every demon in sight I went through darkness of night to find the brightest of light You only dreaming at night, I turn my dream into life We're letting go of who left, you never thought it was right [Hook: Devvon Terrell] So many nights I pray for the day I knew for my dream, I do whatever it takes Now here I stand, no one in my way And now I'm surrounded by all that people say But I will never change at all-all-all-all-all I will never change at all-all-all-all I will never change at all-all-all-all-all I will never change at all-all-all-all I will never change at all [Verse 2: Witt Lowry] Yeah, I could've never planned my life like this I graduated, got a job and still I chose just to write like this You see the people need advice like this Building something out of nothing I ain't bluffing with a sight like this I know I'm nice when I write, you're like "I don't get" A hater all over my Twitter like "Mark, what's this?" It takes intelligence to listen, something I can't give I flip the prespective, you see what I just did? Do you get it? Now take a minute No, it takes you a minute to keep it real I'm still broke, but got beautiful women Who see me as an opportunity, hot human Was given an opportunity from no one ever Who am I kidding? Fought for my vision, built a team who all believe in my pa**ion I'm on my way out to LA, I wonder "How did this happen?" I turned my dream into a team who all believe in my rap And you went from laughing to a picture when my lyrics are captioned And honestly I want this more than ever breathing The people that need a voice, I'm the voice of people believing My family all believing it's all in me to achieve it Don't do it because we want it, we want it because we need it [Hook: Devvon Terrell] So many nights I pray for the day I knew for my dream, I do whatever it takes Now here I stand, no one in my way And now I'm surrounded by all that people say But I will never change at all-all-all-all-all I will never change at all-all-all-all I will never change at all-all-all-all-all I will never change at all-all-all-all I will never change at all
