If I Don't Make It

Fight, eh
That's the only way to make it through the night
That's the only way to ever see the light
That's the only way I'll feel delight
'Cause if I don't, what's the point of even being alive?

Beyond the drive to survive
Self worth needs evidence
Do I pretend intelligence has enough relevance to be
Considered elegant?
Hmp, fat chance, look

If I don't make it
Make it to the throne of my world
To the point where kings know what I'm called
If I don't clear out all of my flaws
Will I make heaven with these claws?

If I don't make it
Someone tell mama I tried
I'm sorry for the times that I lied
I know how many times I almost cried
Think of what I've done to your pride

If I don't make it
Who's gonna do it for me?
If I don't make it
What else is left for me?

If I don't make it
What's the point of occupying space?
You don't matter if I don't make it
Are you even part of the Phylum Chordata?

Human
It's all consuming
So what am I doing? (So what am I doing? Uh)

These are the thoughts and plots that leave a man to ruin
I'm tryna be someone else
Who's as fluid with the rhythm as he comes through
Got everyone else looking at him
Thinking, "What the hell? If he don't make it, no one else will"
That's the deal, I'm just tryna live that real ideal life

I'm just tryna get it
Until I don't have to live at the edge of the knife
The very edge of everything I wanna put my name on
Like it's a pledge
I don't know if I should call this shit a dirge
But in the end, I gotta defend it

'Cause I know if I don't make it
What's the point of all this bullshit?
If I don't make it
Why the fuck did I leave school? (Shit)
If I don't make it, can you remake life?
Can you rewrite history?
Can you?
Can you help me?

If I don't make it
No one, no one's gonna help you
If I don't make it
What else is left for me?
If I don't make it
What else am I to see?
If I don't make it
Can you tell this story?
Will you do it for me?
