Nicolas Scholtes - Believe In Yourself lyrics

[Verse 1] I dreaded every day of school back as a teen Bullied by the bigger kids deep behind the scenes Bruises on my arms, icy hot on my face I never told a soul, I always felt so out of place And worse than the bruises were the deep words of hate Written on my books or directly to my face Wrong name, wrong clothes, wrong address I was made to believe that I was worth less Than the rest but the best medicine I took Found the strength from within and the rest I shook I learned to lean to the eyes high above me Focused on the hands that held me up and loved me My family, my real friends the people on the block My grandma in the backyard teaching me to box Hard knocks but each one turned into great wealth Called to something greater, believing in myself [Hook] You can make a difference You can see it through No matter what they throw your way it is up to you You just got to believe, believe, believe in yourself You just got to believe, believe, believe in yourself [Verse 2] You can never do that, have you ever heard that? Pushing to my dreams it seems I always heard that What's the motivation for the comments walking my walk It's cause they frozen on the side no act all talk And they talk all the time, just to pa** time away And I have no time on my grind for any words they say They throw dreams away, try to get you to the same To forget your name and cover up that holy flame But there is nothing worth that, not one thing have I saw too many trends simply fade to the past Listen for his voice and stand for what is true Believe in yourself, because he believes in you [Hook] You can make a difference You can see it through No matter what they throw your way it is up to you You just got to believe, believe, believe in yourself You just got to believe, believe, believe in yourself [Verse 3] Words can go Deep, Especially from the ignorant You're made in his image, don't let ‘em tell you different Made in his image, you're the property of Jesus A masterpiece, from an artistic genius Believe this when I say the future looks bright No Path was ever perfect, but perfect made it right All my life as I look back I see that he was in it Every detail, every turn, every lesson that l learned So thankful that he saw me and never looked away Gazed on my face as I faced the light of day My peace in the storm, the water for my thirst I believe in myself, but he believed in me first [Hook] You can make a difference You can see it through No matter what they throw your way it is up to you You just got to believe, believe, believe in yourself You just got to believe, believe, believe in yourself
