SUBURBANTS - Be lyrics

[Verse 1] I use to be so lost sad and complacent Unwilling to change but constantly complaining Blessed with many talents but I could see it Helping others rise when the key I didn't believe it My maker was teaching me but my ego was too blind It's hard to see past the tears when they'rand right in your eyes All I could see was the rain & not the gift in today God gave me life and some woke up in their graves I took for granted what I had and it was taken from me I had to be broken down in order to see So worried about hurting others I neglected myself Eventually the stress took its toll and I lost my health The same mats I helped out were nowhere to be found No friends nothing but my fam are all that held me down They see I'm doing big things they wanna be around You weren't here at my worse you could step from me now [Hook] Learn to live before your time is up Dream big in yourself your vision trust You manifest what you think in your mind you see Whatever you believe you are you will be Learn to live before your time is up Dream big in yourself your vision trust Learn from your mistakes never dwell on the past Stop complaining before you lose what you have [Verse 2] It wasn't till I stopped listening to the voices inside And stop caring about what they thought about me or my rhymes Truly came into my own and started to shine I stopped living for others did what I want with my life I had to let go off the people weighing me down The ones steady poking holes in the boat while I'm paddling No more pleasing others at the expense of me Time waits for none I've got visions and dreams No more nurturing others it's time for mine to grow I've helped others reap now it's time to plant my own I'm no longer concerned about what has yet to come Nor does it matter what has already been done I'm far from perfect but I aim towards the best To be better than I was with each and every single breath Finally found my way seems like it took forever But the sun always seems to shine after stormy weather [Hook] Learn to live before your time is up Dream big in yourself your vision trust You manifest what you think in your mind you see Whatever you believe you are you will be Learn to live before your time is up Dream big in yourself your vision trust Learn from your mistakes never dwell on the past Stop complaining before you lose what you have [Verse 3] I lived so much for others I forgot who I was But now in my own capabilities I trust Finally found my voice they say I've changed Believe it doing me Akila da Hun is the name Through the darkness and the storms I keep my head high Pushing forward through the tears and the fear in my eye Took me all the way to 30 to finally see Destined for greatness I just had to believe [Hook] Learn to live before your time is up Dream big in yourself your vision trust You manifest what you think in your mind you see Whatever you believe you are you will be Learn to live before your time is up Dream big in yourself your vision trust Learn from your mistakes never dwell on the past Stop complaining before you lose what you have
