Make Somethin’ Of Yourself

[Chorus] Make somethin' of yourself Make somethin' of yourself Make somethin' of yourself Make somethin' of yourself [Verse 1] Look-look-lookin' out the window Thinking 'bout the shit I been through Not that other shit I told you But the shit I never get to Used to smile for the camera Always make it look so simple Sometimes just keeping it together Seems so fucking monumental What if, what if, what if crash and I burn? Maybe I got caught up in teaching and forgot how to learn What if I let down all my friends And all this music shit just ends? And everything's about to fall apart Just like my father says to me But my mama say I'll make it She said, "Boy, you gon' be the greatest" So part of me, will I become a monster? I'm giving everything I have to offer But right now, it feels do or die Gotta make it out alive Gotta pay the price that it costs to [Chorus] Make somethin' of yourself Make somethin' of yourself Make somethin' of yourself Make somethin' of yourself [Verse 2] Not proud of all the things I did But I'm proud I can admit that Yes, I was a truly messed up kid But I blessed up quick, don't forget that It's a shame my parents had to split But I had nothing to do with that Took a while to understand 'Cause I thought love was a gift you don't get back I guess it all appeared a facade And that's right around the time I stopped believing in God Started believing in myself, like I don't need no one else And whether it was right or wrong at the time I swear that shit really helped, it did But all I know is how to keep it moving They try to stop me, I keep pursuing I'm moving up like hallelujah So part of me, will I become a monster? And overcome everything I encounter But right now, it feels do or die Gotta make it out alive Gotta pay the price that it costs to [Chorus] Make somethin' of yourself Make somethin' of yourself Make somethin' of yourself Make somethin' of yourself [Verse 3] (Make somethin') Please just let me make it Please just grant this wish for me For granted, I won't take it I need to make something (Make somethin') of myself I know I said I didn't believe earlier But, God, if you're real, I need some help I need to make something (Make somethin') More than just money I thought that was gon' make me happy It just made me so ugly I really need to make something (Make somethin') Some kind of difference I know I got it inside me, I just hope you'll be my witness I'm gonna make somethin' [Outro: Reversed] I thought it would be easy But I can't stop thinking about you, yeah I can't believe those words came out my mouth
