Believe (feat. Mario)

Everything I said I wouldn't do, I did

Life just happens and it is what it is

That's how I used to think as a kid

But you better learn to swim or you'll sink with the ship

'Cause in the blink of a lid, you'll be twice your age

And then till now is like night and day

And that perfect life that you're fighting for

Can be lost in a series of sliding doors

Too proud to say that you need some help

When you look in the mirror, do you see yourself?

See, the way I was, I couldn't stand it honestly

'Cause the old me was tryna kill the man I wanna be

And so life took me on the scenic route

To reach deep inside and rip the demons out

And turn that storm to vanilla into the summer sky

Yeah, caterpillar to a butterfly

I must be going crazy

I got blood across my face

I've got tears that I can taste

I swear this world is tryna break me

'Cause the walls are closing in

And my soul is wearing thin

But you should know that

I'm right here waiting

When you're done blaming

Had to tell myself I believe in you

I had to tell myself I believe in you

Lord knows I been running for my dream

But I keep tripping when the devil's tugging on my sleeve

And the game don't stop and the ball's in my hand

But that party life will put put a pause on my plan

But we all make our fate

Mistakes are what shape you and make you great

So to sum it all up into words

I never win or lose, i only win or learn

All the drugs and drink, I'm a victim of that

You know what curiosity did to the cat

When we're looking for a high, well we knew we'd never land

But now that i'm a dad, I'm tryna be a better man

And the music allowed us to give you something

When it hits home, it could stop a kid from jumping

I was on the wrong path but I made a turn right

Then I opened my eyes for the very first time, like

I must be going crazy

I got blood across my face

I've got tears that I can taste

I swear this world is tryna break me

'Cause the walls are closing in

And my soul is wearing thin

But you should know that

I'm right here waiting

When you're done blaming

Had to tell myself I believe in you

I had to tell myself I believe in you

It doesn't matter what god you worship

'Cause here on Earth, nobody's perfect

You wanna be the hero that saves the day

But the truth is everybody makes mistakes

So, when you're out here falling down

Temptation is all around

Put your good foot first to bust out the other side

Just like a butterfly

Living in a world where these things is a norm and

Every night out, it's like till six in the morning

I should be kicking goals, my passion is musical

So why the fuck am I back in this cubicle?

Flying off rails, it's like a train wreck but I will not fail

So tonight, I'ma pack my bags

And leave the old me behind and the past I've had, like

I must be going crazy

I got blood across my face

I've got tears that I can taste

I swear this world is tryna break me

'Cause the walls are closing in

And my soul is wearing thin

But you should know that

I'm right here waiting

When you're done blaming

Had to tell myself I believe in you
