Johnny Viti - Hope lyrics

I wake up in the morning not a damn thing changing/ I look up at my ceiling fan, I see me hanging/ The writing's on the wall, but I ain't even done livin yet/ The world is never fair, but I learned and I've forgiven it/ You play to win the game and this game is like a puzzle box/ Screamin til I die cause I'll never keep my muzzle locked/ Never be afraid to let ya brain let loose/ If ya got it then ya flaunt it, better put it to use, yeah/ This is to the kids who never had that shot/ Raise your head up high, you can make it to the top/ I be tellin you it's possible, I'll put it on God/ That any dream is worth it, give a f** about the odds/ I mean freedom isn't free, you gotta fight for your belief/ I've been doubted my whole life, but I never met defeat/ And I can't but I will, and if I try I might fail/ But I would never be anything without hope to prevail/ The scent of her cigarette, I saw it in her eyes/ She was standing by the bar started feeding me lies/ I loved her little grin she would give starin at my lips/ Laughin at my speech when I leaned in for the kiss/ She pulled me in closer with her hands around my back/ But the string was long enough I didn't even feel the stab/ But we kept on movin and I tried to take it slow/ Didn't wanna rush a thing because she had a different glow/ Y'know, that little feeling that you get when you see her?/ It's like your life makes sense, you got nothin to fear?/ It was a temporary feeling but I wanted it to stay/ I was riding on this train til the final station break/ It was selfish, tryna bottle up a free spirit/ But really it was her the one that pulled me in the nearest/ She couldn't even tell me why she didn't wanna stay/ If I had to give a guess it's cause she's f**ing afraid, yeah/ This is to the kids who never had that shot/ Raise your head up high, you can make it to the top/ I be tellin you it's possible, I'll put it on God/ That any dream is worth it, give a f** about the odds/ I mean freedom isn't free, you gotta fight for your belief/ I've been doubted my whole life, but I never met defeat/ And I can't but I will, and if I try I might fail/ But I would never be anything without hope to prevail/ Everybody told me that I wouldn't be sh**/ ... and I kinda believed em when I couldn't make a hit/ I was laughed at and ridiculed, and everybody hated me/ And every girl I talked to never thought of dating me/ An HTD from the MTG/ It's the one thing in life that I swore I wouldn't be/ But uh ...yeah... I think it's too late/ I guess I gotta roll with it, it's in my DNA/ When's it gonna stop, when's it finally gonna pay off/ I need ta make it now, cause I'm broke and got I laid off/ I don't give a sh** about these motherf**ers anymore/ These so called friends and this family and these penny who*es/ Choke on your words I hope you drown inside reality/ The truth of the matter is you're the one that lacks mentality/ You can tell me anything, I promise it's a lost cause/ I learned to love myself and my infinite flaws, yeah/ This is to the kids who never had that shot/ Raise your head up high, you can make it to the top/ I be tellin you it's possible, I'll put it on God/ That any dream is worth it, give a f** about the odds/ I mean freedom isn't free, you gotta fight for your belief/ I've been doubted my whole life, but I never met defeat/ And I can't but I will, and if I try I might fail/ But I would never be anything without hope to prevail/
