I don’t need any guarantees 00:10
Or them to tell me who I’m s’posed to be 00:13
I’m dreaming up my possibilities 00:15
I need faith mixed with some patience 00:17
The youngest brother, started out real low 00:19
A little smaller so they told me no 00:22
But I’m fighter so its time to show 00:24
That it ain’t that complicated (no) 00:26
Dreaming in the sky 00:30
Every day and every night 00:32
Tell the doubters goodbye 00:34
You’ve gotta live your own life 00:36
So many people wanna tell me no 00:39
But I’m courageous even on my own 00:42
I’m going hard - I’m not going home 00:44
I feel like David with the rolling stone 00:46
The quicker they rise 00:49
The quicker they fall 00:53
Feels like I could slay giants high as 10 feet tall 00:56
No goliath too big 01:00
No stone too small 01:03
Feels like I could slay giants high as 10 feet tall 01:07
Goliath oh no 01:09
Goliath oh 01:12
Feels like I could slay giants high as 10 feet tall 01:15
Goliath oh no 01:18
Goliath oh no 01:21
Feels like I could slay giants high as 10 feet tall 01:25
I’ll never make it on your stereo 01:28
Is what they’ve told me’s the scenario 01:31
A little young so they told me no 01:33
But I can’t let another second pass due to a delay 01:35
Cause even when the odds are slim 01:38
At the – end of the tunnel and the light is dim 01:41
I’ll make my way out of this lions den 01:43
And I’m ‘gon slay those giants on my way 01:46
Dreaming in the sky 01:49
Every day and every night 01:51
Tell the doubters goodbye 01:53
You’ve gotta live your own life 01:55
So many people wanna tell me no 01:58
But I’m courageous even on my own 02:01
I’m going hard – I’m not going home 02:03
I feel like David with the rolling stone 02:05

Goliath oh no 02:38
Goliath oh no 02:41
Feels like I could slay giants high as 10 feet tall 02:44
On the mic like I’m winding my sling 02:47
I slayed the lion, even took the bear in my sleep 02:49
While tendin’ sheep – now standing in this moment of truth 02:51
Like a kid with the rock – MattyB in the booth 02:55
As time stops, heart beating like a drum my chest 02:57
I’m fearless, yeah, not afraid to walk in my destiny 03:00
This moment, like a story told in a scene 03:03
From a kid with dream to becoming the king, yeah! 03:06
The quicker they rise 03:08
The quicker they fall 03:12
Feels like I could slay giants high as 10 feet tall 03:15
No goliath too big 03:19

[English]

I don’t need any guarantees
Or them to tell me who I’m s’posed to be
I’m dreaming up my possibilities
I need faith mixed with some patience
The youngest brother, started out real low
A little smaller so they told me no
But I’m fighter so its time to show
That it ain’t that complicated (no)
Dreaming in the sky
Every day and every night
Tell the doubters goodbye
You’ve gotta live your own life
So many people wanna tell me no
But I’m courageous even on my own
I’m going hard - I’m not going home
I feel like David with the rolling stone
The quicker they rise
The quicker they fall
Feels like I could slay giants high as 10 feet tall
No goliath too big
No stone too small
Feels like I could slay giants high as 10 feet tall
Goliath oh no
Goliath oh
Feels like I could slay giants high as 10 feet tall
Goliath oh no
Goliath oh no
Feels like I could slay giants high as 10 feet tall
I’ll never make it on your stereo
Is what they’ve told me’s the scenario
A little young so they told me no
But I can’t let another second pass due to a delay
Cause even when the odds are slim
At the – end of the tunnel and the light is dim
I’ll make my way out of this lions den
And I’m ‘gon slay those giants on my way
Dreaming in the sky
Every day and every night
Tell the doubters goodbye
You’ve gotta live your own life
So many people wanna tell me no
But I’m courageous even on my own
I’m going hard – I’m not going home
I feel like David with the rolling stone
The quicker they rise
The quicker they fall
Feels like I could slay giants high as 10 feet tall
No goliath too big
No stone too small
Feels like I could slay giants high as 10 feet tall
Goliath oh no
Goliath oh
Feels like I could slay giants high as 10 feet tall
Goliath oh no
Goliath oh no
Feels like I could slay giants high as 10 feet tall
On the mic like I’m winding my sling
I slayed the lion, even took the bear in my sleep
While tendin’ sheep – now standing in this moment of truth
Like a kid with the rock – MattyB in the booth
As time stops, heart beating like a drum my chest
I’m fearless, yeah, not afraid to walk in my destiny
This moment, like a story told in a scene
From a kid with dream to becoming the king, yeah!
The quicker they rise
The quicker they fall
Feels like I could slay giants high as 10 feet tall
No goliath too big
No stone too small
Feels like I could slay giants high as 10 feet tall
Goliath oh no
Goliath oh
Feels like I could slay giants high as 10 feet tall
Goliath oh no
Goliath oh no
Feels like I could slay giants high as 10 feet tall
