[00:03.510] You know my mama use to always say that struggle is worth it
[00:07.534] Because within struggle is purpose
[00:09.214] And purpose is where your worth is
[00:11.048] And a lot of people don't wanna live to see that
[00:15.060] To me, they should
[00:22.889] It's hard to dream with your eyes wide open
[00:26.658] But if you keep 'em closed you can't really see where you're going
[00:30.269] And maybe I'm just a dreamer and the world ain't really my home
[00:34.036] And on the outside of my mind is the only place I belong
[00:37.891] And I'm trapped inside a soul that's just way too broke to be strong
[00:41.698] And that's trapped inside a life that's just way too long to be gone
[00:45.371] And I give shit I give yeah it takes too much to be whole
[00:49.292] The irony in that shit man sometimes is great to be wrong
[00:53.235] And I smile but shit gets harder cause my heart is growing
[00:56.691] Further apart from the other vessels that make me more of my soul
[01:00.723] That make me less of a help to everything that surrounds me
[01:04.792] It's tough to know I'm lost but it's harder to think I found me
[01:09.210] Lining all the remnants the pain all his descendents
[01:12.283] My fear has never been falling I'm deathly scared of ascendance
[01:17.092] Damn, but I guess that's gotta mean something
[01:20.505] I'm out of this world then I'm just hoping that I leave something
[01:24.669] Smile n hearts, there are things that tear us all apart
[01:29.809] But I still smile with my heart
[01:35.312] Even though that shit bound to be torn apart
[01:38.010] And I, I still (dream)
[01:41.041] I still (dream), I-I still (dream), I still (dream)
[01:46.857] (I believe in you, no matter what we've been through, I believe)
[01:54.607] I met a kid out in Vegas desperately wanna make it
[01:58.312] He said he runnin' from pain and just wants to know what will shake it
[02:02.086] His girlfriend just had a baby, he out and he ain't around
[02:05.891] Ain't got the skills to raise no kid, I never got to be a child
[02:09.774] Never got to figure out what I wanted for mine, my dad bounced like a faggot
[02:15.572] My mom was gone all the time, my stomach touching my spine
[02:19.269] I had to go ****ing grind, I took everything I wanted
[02:23.083] The world was never ****ing mine
[02:25.086] These lies, they keep on feeding me lies
[02:28.808] The son of a generation they keep denying me shine
[02:32.656] They sayin' the world is mine but won't allow me to rise
[02:36.385] So I got hell all in my heart and hatred all in my eyes
[02:40.670] I'm froze, from my head to my soul
[02:44.093] And I give shit I give but it takes too much to be whole, yeah
[02:49.888] Ah, I just want someone to believe in me, tell me they know I'm hurt
[02:53.757] But the goodness is all they see in me and
[02:55.950] Smile n hearts, there are things that tear us all apart
[03:02.263] But I still smile with my heart
[03:07.058] Even though that shit bound to be torn apart
[03:10.749] And I, I still (dream)
[03:11.344] I still (dream), I-I still (dream), I still (dream)
[03:18.470] (I believe in you, no matter what we've been through, I believe)
[03:26.089] Beaten to a pulp, from the bottom she made it
[03:30.111] You can see I'm on the scan no discards have honestly fading
[03:33.865] She look up into the mirror and what she seeing she hating
[03:37.612] So much evil in this world and it's beauty just masquerades it
[03:41.665] They hide behind all their secrets, hide behind all their pain
[03:45.223] I've been through so ****ing much shit it's about to drive me insane
[03:49.021] Sometimes I wish all the beating would knock it all out of my brain
[03:52.965] Someone would just take the picture and crop me out of the frame
[03:56.947] Yeah, and that's what's stolen my worth
[04:00.718] Don't judge me about my appearance my soul is lower than dirt
[04:04.555] My heart's been broken so many times I don't know if it works
[04:08.425] And all I have is this smile and {that's the loneliest hurt}
[04:12.667] And I'm froze stuck up in this place I only feel alone
[04:16.045] And I give shit I give, but it takes too much to be whole
[04:19.631] I want someone to ****ing love me
[04:23.830] I'm tired to coming last to everything that's above me
[04:28.192] And I smile, maybe it's a parody of all the tragedy inside us
[04:32.045] We keep secrets like abortions
[04:33.509] Life stolen then frozen within our psyche's lies on ice
[04:36.923] Dancing with the demons, lips that rarely speak the truth
[04:39.751] Acclimated by what we've been through, the mind is a terrible thing to waste
[04:43.287] And at the same time it's a terrible place to wait
[04:45.873] I'm wasting away, starting to expire, I see fire when your teeth show
[04:50.205] Pride often of ego, thrown off like parts between syllables
[04:54.732] Hiccups that can't be scared away, dreams not easy to decipher, conquer
[04:58.789] But I still smile too but and inside I'm beating my knuckles to a bloody pulp
[05:02.093] And even still I always wonder what it would feel like to be beautiful
[05:05.185] To feel like rain on rose petals, to feel like sunshine
[05:08.493] And have a life without suffering constantly
[05:10.787] I find myself awaken through it all and inevitably risen
[05:13.578] Rippen like fruit branches on the tree of knowledge
[05:16.268] And again I wonder why the good have to suffer
[05:20.930] What it means to be gentle, what we mean to one another
[05:24.854] What it means to be a lover
[05:29.410] Smile n hearts, there are things that tear us all apart
[05:35.897] But I still smile with my heart
[05:40.225] Even though that shit bound to be torn apart
[05:43.033] And I, I still dream
[05:46.062] You still dream, We still dream
[05:50.138] Everyday, cause I believe in you
