Roskopp - Believe & Be Live lyrics

[Intro : Annie Ness] I will believe I will be live I will succeed I will survive I will believe I will be live I will succeed [Verse 1: Doms Gauge] I been living in the lab for the last year and a half Just putting blood sweat and tears in these tracks Hoping I don't disappear in a flash Nah I'm in it for the long haul The world throwing obstacles at me I'm playing dodgeball And i feel like its a challenge living With all this weight up on my shoulders still I'm balancing it Spending all my time trying to get this album finished A starving artist, hungry as a kid with malnutrition And I do this for myself, my fam and all of my viewers Taking aim tryna pop off like a nine ruger My times coming I just need it to arrive sooner I won't let a dark past stop me from a bright future I told a friend I'm putting all my eggs in one basket He told me don't count my chickens before they're done hatching But I have too much pa**ion And after all the things I've dealt with I look in the mirror and tell myself this [Hook : Doms Gauge & Annie Ness] I will believe I will be live I will succeed I will survive (x2) [Verse 2 : Doms Gauge] They say the greatest pleasure is always next to the pain Like when the sun shines it eventually rains I've seen people I use to know now homeless out Begging for change and I just hope I never end up the same I bow my head and I pray to whatever god's listening I'm just tryna play my part without the auditioning But I'm not acting I was casted in this role of life And I was told I had to gamble with it so let's roll the dice I ain't got no time to spare I'm tryna bowl a strike Before Ebola strikes And k**s us all No really who are we kidding y'all We only talk about the latest hype to try and feel involved I don't believe what they sell I just believe in myself I will exceed and excel It seems nobody's eager to help So anytime I'm feeling helpless I look in the mirror and tell myself this [Hook : Doms Gauge & Annie Ness] I will believe I will be live I will succeed I will survive (x2) [Bridge : Doms Gauge] I will believe I will be live I will succeed I will survive (x4) [Verse 3: Doms Gauge] I've been grinding for so long Barely getting recognition for it I'm steady chasing a dream I will never quit or forfeit And It's no wonder they hating on me 'cause I play to the beat of my own drummer And sing to a different chorus I'm like no other I am only me And I write my history while I write this poetry I have grown to see that this game is like survival of the fittest No reclining for the wicked So I'm grinding till i get it This is the come up, I'm taking it all I will take action I won't sit and wait for the call Been out for fame since I used to tag my name on the wall Now I want my name on a plaque that I can hang on the wall Go head let these haters throw a grain of some salt They see me shooting for the sky so they pray that i fall But when it all fades away and on the day it dissolves I know I will remain to stand tall
