Victory

Yeah
I'm just a guy, yeah, yeah
I'm just a guy, yeah, yeah
I'm just a guy, yeah, yeah
I'm just a guy, yeah, yeah

I'm just a guy with a message to spread
Sometimes I think I'm in over my head
Most rappers make songs to just try and get bread
If that was my motive I'd rather be dead
I can't even tell all the dm's I get
Just got one last night from a distressed kid
He told me that he did not want to live
And he might take his life, he just wanna be dead
It's a hard thing to read, a hard thing to see
Messages from kids who just wanna bleed
I wish I could reach and take out a key
Just insert and turn it and set them all free
But that's not how it works, I don't care bout the perks
Or to get rich and famous, don't care if they hate us
If you're hearing this song and you're in distress
Let me tell you there's hope and you don't gotta quit

I'm making this music just to help your state of mind
I'm doing this for you so just open up your eyes
Grab my hand and I'll lead you, you can't keep walking blind
You can have victory in your life, just stop looking behind

If we're being honest then I've been there too
Those deep and dark places exist, yeah it's true
You doubt your whole life, you doubt being you
You scream at the sky till your face turns blue
We've all got our reasons, I can't tell you why
Haunted by our demons, make you wanna cry
Feels like they're scheming and might make you die
Well it's time to start cleaning, get rid of the lies
If you're thinking you're alone then I promise you're not
I'll be here to remind you of all that you got
The best advice I can give is start talking to God
I don't do that enough but he knows my every thought
He knows all my struggles and what I'm going through
And even when I don't, he knows what to do
So pick your head up and start living your life
You can make through the depression and strife
I know that shit cuts deep like a knife
And it hurts but keep searching, you'll find the light
Don't stay complacent, your happiness vacant
Gotta stick out your neck if you ever wanna make it
Wish I could do it for you but I can't
If you fall down, gotta get up again
I know that it's hard to fight through the pain
But for every battle there's something to gain
I make this music to try and explain
Exactly what's going on in my brain
Fuck all the rappers who just entertain
If there's no substance your music's a waste
They just rap and then party and pop the champagne
Just to find out one day their whole life was in vain
I'm just hoping my music is making a difference
Maybe for some kids it'll act as deliverance
And give them what they can't get from antidepressants
Whether I blow up or not, I don't have a preference
My music is deeper so you best show some reverence
You're like "oh your bars will never impress us"
Well yeah maybe not but they help my depression
This shit ain't for clout, it's to leave an impression
I'm just doing my thing, don't got time for no guessing
One thing that I've learned is every struggle's a lesson

Pick your head up and just keep moving forward
Even if you don't think so, there's something to live for
I know how it feels to be internally at war
Don't just burry it inside, it can't just be ignored
Gotta face it head on, take your shot and make it dead on
I know it can be scary but you gotta stay head strong
You're gonna win this battle though you're injured and been bled on
I'm here to grab your hand and pick you up and help you tread on
