This has been weighing down my heart
Fighting for a dream that could cost me
Loss of my family and friends

Left wondering if they figure I'd amount to something

Yet I've torched a passion that I will pursue

Devoted mind body soul
When I lay my head down and take my last breath
I'll rest easy knowing I gave it my all and that I had nothing left


Refusing to wait and hope for luck
Hard work and striving will pertain me to where I need to be


Try and stand in my way
You will find yourself

Left behind with the fakes and the ones
Who have lied to my face


Born into this world with almost everyone doubting my dreams
I'll never see you again but I swear that they'll see me
But I swear, I swear, I swear that they'll see me

I've always lived this way
This is my passion my flame
It's getting brighter

It's growing higher
I don't care what you have to say
I'll keep pushing this way

I will keep living this way

Through all of the pain and all of the lies

I hope you know I took control of my life
Through all of the pain and all of the lies
I hope you know I took control of my life


Through all of the pain and all of the lies
I hope you know I took control of my life


I took control of my life


What's a life without a goal?
I'll reach mine, take what's mine
