So Many Nights

[Chorus: Devvon Terrell & Witt Lowry] So many nights, I prayed for the day I knew for my dream, I'll do whatever it takes Now here I stand, no one in my way And now, I'm surrounded by all that people say (Yeah) [Verse 1: Witt Lowry] They told me time is of the essence, I ain't sweatin', I'm blessed and blessin' the tenants While everybody changin', I never stray from my message As I sit inside my room, it's a tomb to every invention And every line that I never gave the time or attention I'm learnin' my lesson, you're lookin' for a mention, it's funny What you would do for the approval of a room full of dummies You think I made it, but I'm stuck here servin' burgers for money It's funny how I'm sellin' beef for you to want beef from me My written turned into a vision, and my vision to reality My chips all on my dream and you seem to try to devalue me Value me as less, I got no desk or a salary You value me by likes on my pictures, not personality Livin' my own reality, manifestin' my vision Lookin' at the sky, I thank God for what I was given Based on how I'm livin', I'm wonderin' if I'll get it Your passion'll set you free, and your fear is more like a prison We're driven, livin' life, hope I'm doin' it right Went through hell with a knife, killed every demon in sight I went through darkness of night to find the brightest of light You're only dreamin' at night, I turn my dream into life When lettin' go of who left, you're left with only who's right [Chorus: Devvon Terrell] So many nights, I prayed for the day I knew for my dream, I'll do whatever it takes Now here I stand, no one in my way And now, I'm surrounded by all that people say [Post-Chorus: Devvon Terrell& Witt Lowry] But I will never change at all, all, all, all, all I will never change at all, all, all, all I will never change at all, all, all, all, all I will never change at all, all, all, all I will never change at all (Yeah) [Verse 2: Witt Lowry] I could've never planned my life like this I graduated, got a job, and still, I chose just to write like this You see the people need advice like this Buildin' somethin' out of nothin', I ain't bluffin' with a sight like this I know I'm nice when I write, and you're like, "I don't get" A hater all over my Twitter like, "Mark, what's this?" It takes intelligence to listen, somethin' I can't give I flip the prespective, you see what I just did? Do you get it? Now take a minute, know it takes you a minute To keep it real, I'm still broke, but got beautiful women Who see me as an opportunity, not human Was given an opportunity from no one ever, who am I kidding? Fought for my vision, built a team who all believe in my passion I'm on my way out to LA, I wonder, "How did this happen?" I turned my dream into a team who all believe in my rappin' You went from laughin' to a picture where my lyrics are captioned And honestly, I want this more than ever-breathin' The people, they need a voice, I'm the voice of people believin' My family all believin', it's all in me to achieve it Don't do it because we want it, we want it because we need it [Chorus: Devvon Terrell] So many nights, I prayed for the day I knew for my dream, I'll do whatever it takes Now here I stand, no one in my way And now, I'm surrounded by all that people say [Post-Chorus: Devvon Terrell] But I will never change at all, all, all, all, all I will never change at all, all, all, all I will never change at all, all, all, all, all I will never change at all, all, all, all I will never change at all
