Rekstarr - Dreams Worth Dying For lyrics

[Verse 1: Hi-Rez] I'd like to thank all the men and women in the armed forces I wouldn't be able to follow my dreams if it weren't for them I get nervous for a show Then I put it all to the side When I realize You wake up in the middle of the night Just to fight for my freedom I pledge my allegiance Ball players and rappers get paid more I can't believe it Honestly we all blessed Even when I feel depressed I realize it ain't nothing compared to post traumatic stress The government said they'd look out for you Then they turned their back You've seen your own friends die There ain't nothing worse than that You come home and your wife might have left you for a new man Your kid don't remember you And ain't sh** you can do man Sorry on behalf of the people that just ignore you We're dying over money, religion and finding oil I understand it's necessary I just wish it wasn't Ignorant men and women They just go and blame the m**ms Stop pointing fingers and blaming a race of people When every single walk of life is carrying some evil I know a lot of people gonna get my words twisted I'm a good guy Spreading good vibes On a mission I want the world to be more accepting of others Instead of seeing color Realize we're sisters and brothers I wish growing up I showed more respect to my mother I want to smile and be happy but the world's full of trouble This Hi-Rez [Bridge] Everybody going through some sh** Trying hard not to lose my head Always give my all My back is against the wall So many thoughts that just go unsaid [Chorus] x2 (I got too) I got too many highs and lows I got dreams worth dying for Struggle every day I'm fighting though Living through and die I'm writing though [Verse 2: Hi-Rez] The world don't treat mental illnesses As serious as physical Cause they don't know everyday what it's like to feel invisible We focus on the wrong things And honestly it's pitiful And people getting shot with they hands up Like they criminals We're living like we're f**ing slaves Teachers getting underpaid So much weighing on my brain That's why I carry so much pain I was popping champagne My friend was in the hospital Should've been there when he got jumped I feel responsible Everybody caught up and living in the moment It's cool every once in a while But stay focused Should I keep a gun loaded Or keep my heart open I'm trying to find a balance in my life I swear it's hopeless I always take out my problems on the people that's closest They never get the flowers When they can still smell the roses Children starving and they homeless Most people just accept it I can't be the only one that feels so disconnected Every day another stupid person gets commended Some loved ones close to me, cancer went undetected Stop judging motherf**ers When you don't know what they go through You don't know how close that they came to tying a rope noose Walk a day in my shoes I ain't got sh** to lose Come meet the forbidden fruit See the terrible truths People die from suicides, addiction and overdose Acting like I can't relate but that sh** hit close to home [Bridge] Everybody going through some sh** Trying hard not to lose my head Always give my all My back is against the wall So many thoughts that just go unsaid [Chorus] x4 (I got too) I got too many highs and lows I got dreams worth dying for Struggle every day I'm fighting though Living through and die I'm writing though
