(verse 3) i’ve been searching for answers - debating is this door i’m moving towards my salvation or Satan? either way i’m tired of waiting man i’m so tired of struggling and finessing for blessings f*ck all this stressing never for a second eye thought eye would come in 2nd strictly 1st place in a league of my own please leave me alone your criticism has no home inside of dome - ever no matter the weather eye excel whether ... you like it or not hate it or love it eye need a mil (meal) one in my bank one in my stomach how you feel is something eye would never consider your feedback never paid for my dinner your reviews never bought me no shoes so keep your two cents, pay your own dues i’m doing exactly what eye came here to do and that doesn’t need approval from you the truth hurts but that shit feels too i’m through ...

[verse 1] step into foreverness feel the togetherness unwind your mind and find the confines of heaven-ness living by design you expose what’s now irrelevant geometric elements perceptions relative symbols in my riddles floating on the instrumental what’s coincidental when you step outside your mental? (nothing) the same thing that these particles made of mostly it’s hard to live honest when most cheat eye understand but karma gets the upper hand in the long run so start a business mind your own get on get out give back simply as that no need to stay where you’re at that’s wack the truth is it’s really up to you the director of this film is you that gut feeling that you feel is true and it will never ever lie to you but it will take you on a ride or two so hang on keep the faith strong don’t worry if the wait long the wait’s worth it the way it works is pretty much: the bigger the order the more time it takes and the challenges a way there to test your faith so don’t jump to conclusions or fall for the illusions [hook] never give up on your dreams (don’t do it) your dreams never give up on you (they never will) no matter how tough things seem (no matter what) you can make your dreams come true ... (you really can) never give up on your dreams (don’t do it) your dreams never give up on you (they never will) really it’s all up to you (it really is) never give up on your dreams (don’t do it) your dreams never give up on you (they never will) no matter what life may bring (no matter what) you can make your dreams come true (you really can) never give up on your dreams (don’t do it) your dreams never give up on you (they never will) so what are you going to do? (let me know) [verse 2] intuition is a blessing or a weapon when it’s misdirected don’t forget eye said it quote it and know the guy that wrote it was just a lonely poet who stayed focused and smoked potent he made many mistakes on his path to be great his confidence didn’t break when things didn’t shape how he wanted them he understood it was a process not a contest just appreciate the progress - made he would push it along kept writing songs he knew he’d on he knew they’d be wrong he thought beyond any limitations and had a notebook full aspirations and now he rock shows all across the nation [hook] never give up on your dreams (don’t do it) your dreams never give up on you (they never will) no matter what life may bring (no matter what) you can make your dreams come true (you really can) never give up on your dreams (don’t do it) your dreams never give up on you (they never will) so what are you going to do?
