Verse 1:
A YOUNG KID, started from the bottom/
didnt really give a dam if every body doubt him/
cuz he was in it for the love of the music he created/
all these voices tellin him to quit he we never make it/
but that would never phase him, cuz he keep his head high/
and he knows there more things to worry bout in this life/
so he kept working on his flow to get him more recognized/
establish praised by hated and despised/
cuz what is life with out any of them things in it/
viewed differently by friends and family he never fit/
took a different route tryna get away from all of it/
but on his journey to a better place he falls in a pit/
and he knew he had to work to reach the top/
you gotta let that blood sweat and tears just drop/
make noise and maybe some one will come and rescue you/
you take a bite of life and it's more then u can ever chew/

Hook:
You held my hand and then you slipped away
And I may never see your face again
So tell me how to fill the emptiness inside
Without love, what is life?

Verse 2:
No one in this world has something Guaranteed/
cept for death so we try and do righteous deeds/
get pardon for our sins from some one we never seen/
you can wash away the sins but u never will be clean/
my life is no different from yours we tryna make it right/
and u tryna be good so u dont have to pray at night/
but me i cant manage my life to function right/
i push my limits hard to reach a different height/
but it seems like life will never change as long as im here/
as long as i breathe and as long as i shed tears/
so sing with me, just sing for the years/
sing for the laughter, man sing for the tears/
like Steven Tyler said u gotta dream on/
just follow that road even if its wrong/
cuz wat is life with no mistake take on/
might be a struggle but it only makes u strong/
