SonReal - Believe lyrics

[Intro: SonReal] Can you give me something to believe in? Can you, can you give me something to believe in? Can you? [Verse 1: SonReal] Used to believe that I could be a pro at anything Started down the street at just another sh**ty skating rink Dad took his son there, teach his boy to slap shot So he'll make the team you know I'll f** 'em with my hands off That turned to skating and the skating just turned to rappin' sh** ain't changed, I still got the same motive to make it happen Like feeling on the far side, tryna get a little closer Cause they know I got a flow that be draining on all these hoses From that city where if you rappin' ain't no one who gonna know you But we got enough talent to wake 'em up with no Folgers So I believe, that's what I tell 'em when they ask And that's the reason I started whopping a** like Rappers say my name in their songs, I don't even bother Cause the level that they on don't even worth coming back harder Plus I be tryna build my legacy off what I tend to be Not off doing sh** so outlandish you remember me like [Bridge] Oh, I just do it for my city and the people at the shows who really be f**ing with me Oh, I just do it for the fizz act, if you needing this sh** then you ain't gotta do is ask [Hook] If I gave you something to believe in Could you say my name? And if you gave me something to believe in Could I do the same? Like, if I make you smile, if I make you smile I've done my job at last And if you make me smile, if you make me smile Then we all gonna laugh Can you give me something to believe in? Can you, can you give me something to believe in? Can you? [Bridge 2] Like if I make you smile, if I make you smile I've done my job at last And if you make me smile, if you make me smile Then we all gonna laugh [Verse 2: SonReal] Used to believe that I can be a pro at anything Started at the skate park, jumping down that hammer lane Bust my elbow open three times 'fore I perfected it From that moment on I was gonna get respected sh** ain't changed, I still got the same ambition All my flaws, I just flip 'em round and use 'em as ammunition Just a little kid bumping Cube up in the kitchen While my parents wasn't home cause the swearing had 'em tripping But he made me believe and believing was all I needed so When I close my eyes I can see what I was dreaming, oh This sh** ain't no rocket science, I been on my rocket ship Been a long time coming so let them fool who just talking sh** Last year I felt I went harder than most So when we get it poppin' this year don't treat me like a joke You was that red swallow that started up the bravado My city gave me the lead so I knew that I'd never follow like [Bridge] Oh, I just do it for my city and the people at the shows who really be f**ing with me Oh, I just do it for the fizz act, if you needing this sh** then you ain't gotta do is ask [Hook] If I gave you something to believe in Could you say my name? And if you gave me something to believe in Could I do the same? Like, if I make you smile, if I make you smile I've done my job at last And if you make me smile, if you make me smile Then we all gonna laugh Can you give me something to believe in? Can you, can you give me something to believe in? Can you? [Bridge 2] Like if I make you smile, if I make you smile I've done my job at last And if you make me smile, if you make me smile Then we all gonna laugh [Outro: Sonreal] Wiz Khalifa laugh You know I feel like we getting a lot closer Hmm, never been one for the band wagon Always been on train when the pants saggin' And in my head I was visualizing them fans waving To the words that I wrote, to the words that you know From the word believe to the words we go I've never been amazing, I'm just hungry That's the reasoning behind all of my struggles They feel what you be believing and I share with you my story Through this broken chair I'm seated in, a C- student But they say I'm on some genius sh**, let the beat ride, let the beat ride Let me speak my BAD 'fore IDIE, I gotta show you something throughout my three eye On my third eye, let my words fly'like a pelican, co*ky but I'm elegant So tell me why this motherf**er raising hell again Momma told me use just what you got I got 'em feeling Nemo as soon as my chorus stop Stop, no, drop, yes, that's me, what's up? They say that they ready so I serve 'em like a butler I saw rappers pa** me, they was moving like a trucker So I switch my gears, hope I ain't going like no s**er Truth be told my truth ain't the same when the truth be told So when the truth get dropped start moving slow until they gravitate and start lose control Like I could lose it all and barely feel a bruise at all I'd rather fail at trying than never even go try at all And if I write that cla**ic sh** then I ain't gotta die at all Homie, I ain't gotta die at all Believe
