Ocean (feat. Devinogee)

Under the waves of the ocean
(Yeah)
I hid my big dream
(I hid my big dreams)
But i will not tell you
It'll always be in my mind
(It's Mayor of all kings)
Under the waves of the ocean
I hid all my fears
(I hid all my fears for real i really did that)
You'll never know that
(Look)
Don't try to read this in my eyes

My life's full of surprises
A lotta sacrifices
Plenty wrong advices and a shit list of vices
I make time for the music but regardless
I was always busy in the corner rolling dices
I'm searching for a better place
I'm running after greatness and God is setting the pace
Sometimes He creates hurdles just to test me and my faith
But now it's getting hard to breathe i'm suffocating from the chase
I can't be stuck in the past
Put my mind in a trance
So when i stumble i know
It's just Part of the dance
Half of the shit i survived can leave some of you broken hearted
My chapter isn't finished
The story's just getting started
'Cause i do this for the fans
Do this for the family
For supporting my passion even though it seems unlikely
Most of y'all love me
The rest of you don't like me and it's fine
But shoutout to the ones who see the tears behind the smile (respect)

Under the waves of the ocean
I hid my big dream
But i will not tell you
It'll always be in my mind
Under the waves of the ocean
I hid all my fears
You'll never know that
Don't try to read this in my eyes

All i can imagine i can get man i don't doubt that
I hid away my dreams 'cause i still fear man i'm just like that
If younger me could see me she would tell me Devin fuck that
I hope you out achieving man i hope we keep on our path
You doing way too much just to doubt yourself on steady
You looking way too far to find what you got in already
I know you feeling jitters and all your palms are getting sweaty
But still give 'em all a show and please just make it worth their penny
Said i'm Peter Pan
I'm taking flight i'll never land
Man i never thought i'd need a hand or second plan
But i'm kinda slipping off my patience running thin
And i dunno if i can go for a another spin
All i can imagine i can get man i don't doubt that
I hid away my dreams 'cause i still fear man i'm just like that
If younger me could see me she would tell me Devin fuck that
I hope you out achieving man i hope we keep on our path

Under the wave of the ocean
(Uh-huh)
I hid my big dream
(Yeah)
But i will not tell you
(Uh)
It'll always be in my mind
(It'll always be in my mind)
Under the wave of the ocean
(Uh-huh)
I hid all my fears
(Look)
You'll never know that
(Uh)
(Take two)
Don't try to read this in my eyes

I'm in love with every season
Good or bad at least I'm breathing
I just turned 24
And being old is an achievement?
No
I'm on a long journey with a bag full of dreams
And maybe, only few records with a handful of streams
See?
It's hell after conscience
Clarity after conflicts
Burning bridges i can't fix
I dream better with my both eyes open
Got a lot more pain and misery
Hiding behind these lyrics but i never stay broken
I'm here
Faraway from the fear
Faraway from emptiness
Faraway from despair
Faraway from all the voices that keep on whispering in my ear
Whatever happens in your head stays in your head nobody has to hear
Fuck it's been a long year, it really redefined me
Some friends did me dirty but i've put it all behind me
Damn
Six months flashbacks don dey feel like six days
And when I lose myself na these flashbacks go remind me

Under the waves of the ocean
I hid my big dream
But i will not tell you
It'll always be in my mind
Under the waves of the ocean
I hid all my fears
You'll never know that
Don't try to read this in my eyes

I wasted few years of my life waiting for some fears to magically disappear.
But my folks helped me realize
That fears, and all them negative thoughts never quit
They once said to me and i won't forget the words
"Mayor, being courageous doesn't mean you'll never feel afraid, and for real that's like The wrong idea of courage, don't get me wrong
The true definition of courage is simply not allowing the fear and all those negative Thoughts make you feel powerless and stop you from moving forward"
They said
