Ripped Pages
I'm ripping out the pages to this storybook
I'm not trying to hide
I'm not trying
We all got demons
Everybody's got a story
It's how you overcome adversity to reach the glory
Set your mind to it
Go and fine tune it
You gotta live for yourself
Just put the time to it
Cause I been in the dirt
I'm talking buried alive
I was alone with my thoughts
Thinking what if I died
Would people shed a tear
Would people even care
Had to take that trip alone
Depressed and kinda scared
I went on auto pilot
Robotic with my day
When the real me tried to get out
I tried to peel away
But this isn't a movie
I just seen a lot of things
Conquered all my worst struggles
Holding onto all my dreams
My story's complicated
But it's kinda cinematic
Tell it through my music there ya have it
Fully automatic
Words flowing
Hope they grasp it
Never slowing
Call them traffic
And I don't play by their rules
Guess that makes me Mr. maverick
I'm ripping out the pages to this storybook
I'm not trying to hide
I'm not trying
I'm ripping out the pages to this storybook
I'm not trying to hide
I'm not trying
Some said I wouldn't make it
Bruh, look at where I started
Everything I got
I got cause I was hustling the hardest
Can't let 'em just take away
The progress that I have made
So pick yourself up
This ain't the place where you make your grave
Don't get it twisted
Or even a bit confused
Blood sweat and tears equal if you should win or lose
I'm all in
Bet it all then
And if you get up in my way prepare to fall in
So I'm ripping up this storybook
And Fate can take another look
Everybody's got a destiny
Don't get overlooked
Aiming for the stars
And I land on a planet
Astronaut flow
NASA couldn't understand it
My struggles are my scars
And they're written in each bar
And no matter where I try and go
The memories aren't far
Yeah they follow me
Can't let 'em swallow me
Cause if I drown in 'em now
My future self's a hollow me
I'm ripping out the pages to this storybook
I'm not trying to hide
I'm not trying
I'm ripping out the pages to this storybook
I'm not trying to hide
I'm not trying
I'm not trying to hide
I'm not trying
We all got demons
Everybody's got a story
