Dawn

The time is... 4:35 in the morning
This what my soul sound like

Trying not to breakdown before the break of dawn
This monotone monologue is just to keep me going
Trying not to break, trying not to break
Trying not to breakdown before the break of dawn

You know that feeling when you Heaven sent, but yo name irrelevant?
Got you feeling fishy like some Halibut
And it'd be different if I just did it for the hell of it
But music my heart and soul, put my all in it
Often I'm feeling awful
I know that I'm off the charts when it comes to potential
But sometimes I feel like my talent don't work as hard as I do
Still, I stay optimistic
Drives me insane the thought they might not know my name
Not here for fame, but I would still like some acknowledgement
Because I'm tired of being a starving artist!
A star must die for it to shine the brightest
A black hole of songs I put my heart in
A supernova being overlooked, I feel discarded
Feel like dearly departed, can't finish what I started
Make me go even harder
I'm losing sleep to chase my dreams, so you gonn feel a part of me in every word I utter
Making sure I don't stutter
When I say I'm the greatest, mean it with every ounce of strength that's remaining
The picture I'm painting is passion, plus pain, while using my pen
I'm writing my sins
I put on paper what I'm feeling within
Feels like I'll never make it!
Of course I know that there's embedded greatness
But when no one sees it, it gets aggravating
I'm so frustrated, if we keeping candid
I told my momma we'll be living in mansions, I put my word on it
So every syllable got my soul on it
So loss of streams feels like I lost a part of me, don't it?
Got people rooting for me
Gotta make 'em proud
Can't let 'em down
So, I drown out the sounds
Amidst the silence, you can hear my voice the loudest
Your worth is more than what you can accomplish

Trying not to breakdown before the break of dawn
This monotone monologue is just to keep me going
It's so insane what I be saying in these morning hours
And so I'm grateful for the small reminders

Trying not to breakdown before the break of dawn
This monotone monologue is just to keep me going
Trying not to break, trying not to break
