[Chorus/Hook]:
I wasted so much time
Put so much on the line

I had to sacrifice
'Cause of my way of life
Say can you hear me?

Say can you hear me?

[Verse 1]

It's crazy how people can change and follow their dreams
After all they've been through, they swallow the things
That put them down, which gives the strength to get back up

No matter what life throws at them, they always act tough

That's what I try to be, forget the anxiety

And the depression and all the different varieties
Of those meaningless things that I've been diagnosed with
So I'll put all that garbage into a different emotion


I swear to any doubter that I'll prove them wrong
I'll start movin' on, and not make a stupid song

Instead one that makes all of their jaws drop
Just another song to prove to you that there's no way I'll stop


So go ahead, keep hating
Because I'll just keep going and keep paving
This road to success, and that's where I'll be on my way

But now for a bit, I'ma walk away and say

[Chorus/Hook]:

I wasted so much time
Put so much on the line
I had to sacrifice

'Cause of my way of life
Say can you hear me?
Say can you hear me?


[Verse 2]
Now for some thank you's, it had to happen eventually

Thank you to all the people who traumatized my memory
Because in a good way, it made me think differently
Another small reason why I try to make history


Thank you to my parents and all that they did to me
It was worth the suffering, 'cause now I'm on the way to victory

Thanks to all the girls who went and just stabbed my back
And turned theirs away, but I'm really not mad at that


You taught me exactly how not to act in a relationship
Life lesson, now I know what to make of it
Thanks bullies, for beating me up at recess and break

Meet me now, I show you worse than what I had to take

Thanks to all the people who treated me like garbage

All you did was motivate me to go further than the farthest
It's insane, but I'm happy for the people who tried to break my life
'Cause I'll re-write those wrongs and guarantee I'll make them right


[Chorus/Hook]:
I wasted so much time

Put so much on the line
I had to sacrifice
'Cause of my way of life

Say can you hear me?
Say can you hear me?
