This Time (feat. Zara W)

Hold up
Hold up
Everything will be okay
Everything will be just fine
And you been through so much
If you follow this way
You gone be alright this time
And I know this dream you been waiting for
Leaves you waiting out in the cold when it pours
See
I know this pain cus I've been there before
Now if you want a way out then please don't ignore me

I been through things I ain't caused
I know when it rains it pours
So if I know that I can be the change
It motivates me more
If I know that this is really fate
I'll even out the score
And keep on doing what I do until I hear the crowd applause
It's lonely at the top but if I get the help I need
Then I can really help another person out to live their dream
I just wanna persevere and bring the doubters to their knees
And make kick themselves that they ignored me when my time was cheap
Now the price is on an incline
their messages stay on read
Cus I don't really have a need to read a single word they've said
I just see the times I tried to reach out but you shut it down
When pound for pound my lyrics are some of the heaviest around
It's all good I get it, honestly, it's fine I'll be alright
But I just hope you feel the same when you can see my name in lights
I just hope you really see the difference someone like me makes
Cus I've got everything to lose but I'm still upping all the stakes
I'm still bringing people through when I still need the help myself
Cus money is momentary but moments to me are wealth
If only for a moment I'm the cause of someone's happiness
I know the mission set for me was was set for them as well
I was locked inside a jail inside my mind a padded cell
And there's been days I haven't seen the sky at all and it's been hell
But for the day's my demons lost and I was able to record
I'd take a thousand beatings just to feel the happiness I felt
Yeah

Hold up Hold up
Everything will be okay
Everything will be just fine
And you been through so much
If you follow this way
You gone be alright this time
And I know this dream you been waiting for
Leaves you waiting out in the cold when it pours
See
I know this pain cus I've been there before
Now if you want a way out then please don't ignore me

I'm not gonna stress no more
Not gonna compromise my laws
If you can't abide, look there's the door
Chuck my middle fingers up
Up Yours
Up yours
I've been through this so many times
But your actions won't block my shine
And just so you know
All your movements left me so Cold
Left me cold yeah
I didn't understand
Why I kept going back
To people who can't grasp
The concept of real love
Genuine support and trust
So many lessons I've learned
Bridges I've burned
Seen my good karma returned
And just so you know
Still wouldn't leave you out here in the cold
Here in the cold

Hold up Hold up
Everything will be okay
Everything will be just fine
And you been through so much
If you follow this way
You gone be alright this time
And I know this dream you been waiting for
Leaves you waiting out in the cold when it pours
See I know this pain cus I've been there before
Now if you want a way out then please don't ignore me
And I know this dream you been waiting for
Leaves you waiting out in the cold when it pours
See I know this pain cus I've been there before
Now if you want a way out then please don't ignore me
