Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When I was a young boy, I had visions of fame
They were wild and they were free and they were blessed with my name
And then I grew older, and I saw what's to see
That the world is full of pain and my dreams, they left me
And then I got stronger and tired of the pain
That's when I picked up the pieces and I regained my name
And I fought hard, y'all, to carve out my place
And right now, you could ask me and it all seems in vain
[Verse 2]
Your dreams ain't easy, just stick by your plan
To go from boys to men, you must act like a man
When it gets hard, y'all, you just grab what you know
Stand up tall and don't you fall, you will know (Yeah) You will know
You will know, you will know
[Verse 3]
And I know you're crying 'cause it's all in this pain
And the things you want, you can't have, it just all went away
But life ain't over, ooh, just grab the wind
And make amends and the vow will take you far
[Verse 4]
Your dreams ain't easy, just stick by your plan
To go from boys to men, you must act like a man
When it gets hard, y'all, you just grab what you know
Stand up tall and don't you fall, you will know, you will know
You will know, you will know (There's no doubt it)
[Verse 5]
You will know, you will know
You will know, oh, you will know
[Verse 6]
Your dreams ain't easy, just stick by your plan
To go from boys to men, you must act like a man
When it gets hard, y'all, you just grab what you know
Stand up tall and don't you fall
[Verse 7]
Your dreams ain't easy, just stick by your plan
To go from boys to men, you must act like a man
When it gets hard, y'all, you just grab what you know
Stand up tall and don't you fall, you will know (Yeah) You will know
[Verse 8]
You will know, you will know
You will know, you will know
