NJ - Made It Big lyrics

[Produced by Omito Beats] [Verse 1: Kieran Geralde] It's been four years after fourteen, coming from a teen age The story closes onstage as you turn the last page A new chapter opens in the book of your life Anyone can write stories, but not everybody does it right By writing how the plot thickens, people conflictin' With an inner duel between good and bad Sometimes it's good to be bad As there's always room to remove any skeletons that you have It all started with a fresh face, new race to gain traction The second lap meant you were rising for action Against climatic stress that buried you to sinking One foot inside, the other out the door got me thinking Why're you aging your mind before you're hitting your prime Don't let them soil your lines, the wrinkles in time A writer's block in the mind doesn't mean decline Why live in the shadows when you could be dying to shine? [Hook: NJ Chesnut] We find ourselves Looking at this moment, looking at this place We Find ourselves Looking to the future, and how we're gonna make it big So how you gonna make it big, and how we're gonna make it big So how you gonna make it big [Verse 2: Kieran Geralde] What high school moments truly mattered most? Which people you know truly deserve your toast? Before you make a cheer, you gotta look in the mirror At all your imperfections, the solution gets clearer It's not about the numbers or the money you could make It's not about the grades, parades or any accolades No single thing can break or define you Only qualities quantify your total value We're all grown up so we can be who we always dreamed Not everyone needs the same path to succeed Not everyone can move at the same pace Not everyone needs someone to scream in their face What everyone needs is emotional support Cause even adults need love when the times get hard In the end, success is up to your choice Speak to grab attention and use your actions as a voice [Hook: NJ Chesnut] We find ourselves Looking at this moment, looking at a place We Find ourselves Looking to the future, and how we're gonna make it big So how you gonna make it big, and how we're gonna make it big So how you gonna make it big [Outro: Kieran] First off I would like to thank my parents and my siblings for always being there for me Same to my relatives and my friends here and there Big shoutout to the band program for giving me the tools for success Thanks to my mentors for guiding me and to the fellow students that sailed with me Thanks to anyone listening to this song Thanks to my idols like Kendrick and J Cole for inspiring me to be great Anyone else I missed, Thank You Born with a fresh mind into a world unknown The caterpillar struggled to fit in as it grew up all alone Then the chrysalis changed it all The pupil's pa**age, It broke through every wall Risen tall was a beautiful soul, not youth age Yet it shriveled small since it didn't want to fly in the new stage Making that little change puts the bu*terfly into Effect That's the first step for anyone to Make It Big
