The Beamer & I.
Out of all the songs i could have recorded and sang, i'm glad it was one with such raw and beautiful lyrics.
All or Nothing...
* Read the attached lyrics
Oh, If I told you that you could be everything that you wanted
If I told you all or nothing hangs on choices you make
This world's never gonna give you nothing you don't go fight for
And fighting's making paths and making yourself keep flying straight
Let's just say the day I got the cards that I had been dealt
I put em' with the pile, in the box an' back on the shelf
The king of this, the queen of that, the ace of everything else
An' I pretended like the cards for me had never been dealt
Let's say I didn't go through all the years I felt how I felt
Let's say I knew just how the fuck to ask somebody for help
Let's say I never got back up the countless times that I fell
Let's say I never figured out just what to do with myself
And I didn’t try to be more the I thought I could be
I didn't do every single thing I could to succeed
An' I didn't push through 40 a week, on double shots of caffein
So I could keep makin poetry over beats an,
Throw it all at an industry with no guarantees, warrantees, cash only, no receits
When would you say it'll never be me
An let you’re plans start droppin' degrees
Let's say i was never the opposite of who i grew up with
Had a crew an' didn't transmit the kid who crews fuck..
With nothing on the “in the future” list just another fist swinging
Tough out to prove nothin shitstartl-list NN...
What if I never took music n glued myself to it cause i knew i could do it an never have to
wake up late one light flick on a bedside light an pray that I could start over in life
I wonder
How long before the party is over
How long before the fire has smoldered
How long before you sobered up u' old enough to feel the fuckin world on your shoulders when the man that’s in the mirror ain't got nothin tu show for
How many years would you go nowhere before you cared you was rendezvousing on the avenue your years that can't be repaired
An by the time you've got a ticket to your goals
the last flight to em' left years ago
Oh, If I told you that you could be everything that you wanted
If I told you all or nothing hangs on choices you make
This world's never gonna give you nothing you don't go fight for
And fighting's making paths and making yourself keep flying straight
Would you do something if no one was behind you...
Would you do something if that something took time and would you
Do the things not even you thought could ever happen
Would you? Would you? Would you...oh yea!
Be willin to take the cards you were givin an not ask
what could have been but what you can do with them and
Over years rearrange them a little bit different
I guess thats why over years people seem to but what never changes
Are lives unread cause u words not said
Cause u' paths that were already there an just taken again
I guess were just not willin to buy all that cement
What would you do if an angel said…
Oh, If I told you that you could be everything that you wanted
If I told you all or nothing hangs on choices you make
This world's never gonna give you nothing you don't go fight for
And fighting's making paths and making yourself keep flying straight
