Yeah
I hear 'em argue over who's the best, that's not what I focus on
I never claimed to be the chosen one
See they can keep the medal, gold or bronze
I'm just in this for creation of the art and spreading hope from songs
I was never in the market for a dream
I create them on my own, the writing started in my teens
That first bar I wrote was like a butterfly effect
Like a drop in the ocean creating parting of the seas, yeah
And I could never dream where it would take me
Eight flights a week, but the calendar looking crazy
Remember back in school, used to panic about my grades, see?
Now I'm getting bookings in Canada for a rave, jeez
Yeah, it's kinda mad how quick this life can change
So you can always switch the picture that's inside the frame
I went from stressing out on life, now it's vibes for days
I guess there's always space for change is what I'm trying to say
Everything around me's changing, I guess I'm changing too
It takes so much just to walk away from the pain that I've been through
Brighter days on my horizon, it's where I'm going to
As long as I can look myself in the mirror and say, "I still love you"
I still love you
♪
I see that troubled kid I used to be, now seems a distant memory
Needed help to process, I'll admit that took some therapy
It's all right to show your pain, speaking out can set you free
Love yourself for who you are and not who you pretend to be
See, I've been trapped in thoughts that could have been the death of me
And that's just facts I'm talking, now you've seen the best of me
See I've been back's against the wall, my mind was testing me
Now I'm getting clapping and applause when I'm on sets
You see the start and what we travelled through
From city living to beaches, nostalgia sweeter than Malibu
You'll be surprised what life will have for you
So stick around, it's only your future that has the proof
So as we're waiting for the sun to set so we can sit and stargaze
Pause this moment in your mind, remember this is our place
Forget the past you lived and can't change
Yeah, it's time you tread a better pathway
Everything around me's changing, I guess I'm changing too
It takes so much just to walk away from the pain that I've been through
Brighter days on my horizon, it's where I'm going to
As long as I can look myself in the mirror and say, "I still love you"
I still love you
