[00:00.00]i know that i’m not close to perfect
[00:04.59]that’s the way it’s got to be
[00:06.71]if i ain’t ever tried to make it,
[00:09.27]how am i gonna see
[00:11.93]everything that i have dreamed of
[00:14.23]everything i plan to do
[00:16.63]i’m gonna take it day by day, and know it all
[00:20.29]starts with you
[00:24.13]
[00:41.01]and it starts with you, and it’s not a lie,
[00:44.72]but it’s far from true
[00:45.86]it don’t make sense,
[00:47.30]like i’m missing something
[00:48.66]like close friend turned distant cousin
[00:50.91]i can relate to most of what they’ve been through
[00:53.10]matter of fact, i’m right there with you
[00:55.53]i been there when it didn’t really work out
[00:58.14]felt that pain the second you get turned out
[01:00.63]i got lifted, on my feet again
[01:03.19]it’s a cold world till you feel the heat again
[01:05.51]it’s deep within the chambers of my heart
[01:07.63]it was born with the thought that we made it from the start
[01:10.06]i’m here to the finish line we just diminish
[01:12.41]time ticks on and it don’t get replenished
[01:14.34]no breaks, high stakes and sacrifices
[01:17.11]we all keep carving the mistake
[01:18.96]i know that i’m not close to perfect
[01:21.16]that’s the way it’s got to be
[01:23.53]if i ain’t ever tried to make it,
[01:26.09]how am i gonna see
[01:28.45]everything that i have dreamed of
[01:31.01]everything i plan to do
[01:33.20]i’m gonna take it day by day, and know
[01:36.36]it all starts with you
[01:38.84]the world keeps trying to take from me
[01:41.77]the scared money don’t make money
[01:43.70]life is sweet, but death takes the cake
[01:45.95]’cause you can’t learn shit
[01:47.23]if you don’t make mistakes
[01:48.64]so we bounce back, every single time
[01:51.04]speak the truth to crush any little lie
[01:53.16]so strange how we all walk paths that be far
[01:55.58]from this game but they still seem to intertwine
[01:58.04]some days kinda feel real tense, confused, and all stressed
[02:01.73]care less if you live or die
[02:02.93]one thing that for sure i could never hide
[02:05.30]is the thunderstorm in my belly when it’s dinner time
[02:07.76]so we just push past it
[02:10.01]every day i’m reborn from the ashes
[02:12.38]my passion dictates my actions
[02:14.60]this right here is the risk takes
[02:16.51]i know that i’m not close to perfect
[02:18.99]that’s the way it’s got to be
[02:21.21]if i ain’t ever tried to make it,
[02:23.72]how am i gonna see
[02:26.12]everything that i have dreamed of
[02:28.45]everything i plan to do
[02:30.77]im gonna take it day by day, and know
[02:34.20]it all starts with you
[02:36.81]and it ends with me, doing me,
[02:39.25]seeing things i was meant to be
[02:41.01]like following dreams, never borrowing things
[02:43.26]on track while the rest stay
[02:44.85]swallowing schemes
[02:45.79]i ain’t perfect, actually far from it
[02:48.38]i’d rather stay strong on my own than to start learning
[02:51.02]it’s bugged though, i know we all want something
[02:53.27]some of us won’t stop until it all starts crumbling of
[02:55.28]who we will never know, they never did try
[02:57.91]in a dog eat dog world it’s live or let die
[03:00.00]i’d rather fail than to never have tried
[03:02.77]cause truth stands the test, every time
[03:04.97]i won’t forget though, my memory’s fine
[03:07.48]and i turn a deaf ear when they telling me lies
[03:09.93]it’s unconditional, i gotta move fast
[03:12.23]ain’t nothing gonna stop me, i promise you that
