Novus - The Anthem pt. 1 lyrics

Alright, so this is it right here This my anthem It's my life, put to words My grandma told me that everybody would love me And its goin rain cats and dogs til I go and make it sunny She taught me success wasn't aways measured in money That you gotta face your fears when the cowards take to running Now I'm running, soaked in tears Crying, wishing you were here And I wrote you a song that you'll never get to hear But hear me out, it's not about what you won't get to see It's bout the years we had together just my family and me I don't think they understand they my reason for livin Cuz when I done so wrong, they was so forgiving And it means so much, I thank you all for giving Life to a kid who had no reason for living And it's scary, I attempted suicide I didn't hate the world I hated who's inside Just you and I Could leave this world forever And we could be together But thats a lonely life And looking back the worst ones were the lonely nights The I don't have a homie nights The fearing that the world would never really know me nights See that's when I was losing faith in the heavenly Knots around my neck the homies pleadin and beggin me Say "We could still be kicking in our seventies Takin midnight snack runs we running from centipedes" The centerpiece, or foundation of humanity Is that once in life we fall victim to insanity I fall victim to the man in me And they say "Joshua, why you stay writin? Do you write to do right or write rights to enlighten?" When the righteous do right to do right we stop fighting If you LEFT your problems probably mean you wasn't RIGHT then I write rhythms to provide the kids with guidance The most dangerous thing of all is for a kid to sit in silence I was in deep waters tho I probably heard the sirens We was always taught to runaway from the sirens We was always taught that the best would triumph We all kings and queens with the hearts of lions I'm sick of dyin I'm even more sick of tryin
