I got this God-given talent I was granted on the way
Knew it was too good to go to waste
Could I use it to get money and cars now?
Could I use it to be amongst the stars now?
Could I write something for people out there
Make them listen and be aware
Make them see they not on their own
Let the song make them not feel so alone
But I've seen people’s dreams shattered
Seen them let go of things that really mattered
Doubt creeps in tries to change my mind-set
But I can't say I failed cause I haven't even tried yet
As I take my first steps I realise there's so much to lose
People out there trying to change my views
They say this just to try scare me
But my main fear right now is will they hear me?
Chorus:
Got so much feeling in this music
Had so much to let go
They have no idea what I've been through
I don't think they'll ever know
They heard but didn't listen
The meaning they are missing
Will they hear me?
Will they hear me?
Verse 2:
Put so much on the line for this
Missing birthdays, funerals, weddings and Christmas
Getting so little sleep it's hard enough
These are the things that cause people to give up
But my mind goes back to the kid
Who knew early on this is all they wanted
Even though they were sitting in class listening on
His body was there but mind far gone
Thinking of the next lyric, thinking of the next beat
Thinking of getting their next song on the street
Remembering the feeling and emotion you felt
When you put it all together by yourself
This is the thing that keeps you going on
Remembering all your family and friends back home
I've put in 100% since the beginning
Right now I just hope they'll listen
Chorus:
Got so much feeling in this music
Had so much to let go
They have no idea what I've been through
I don't think they'll ever know
They heard but didn't listen
The meaning they are missing
Will they hear me?
Will they hear me?
Verse 3:
Through all the anger, pain and stress
I made it to the top feeling so blessed
Everyone who said you wouldn't, looking stupid now
They looking for a hand when they used to have their hands on your ankles trying to bring you down
Now every time I'm on stage it feels great
Will never be a sell-out, won't make that mistake
Every opportunity with both hands I'll take
Can't take anything for granted for my own sake
Looking at the crowds this is all I wanted
My mind won't have a dead dream to haunt it
Forever thankful to be right here
Never get tired of seeing hands in the air
Don't just dance to the song listen to the words
There's a story in it you've never heard
I see the look in their eyes, they feeling free
I think they finally going to hear me
