[English]

All I wanted was a record deal

A couple dollars when I got it,

I couldn't understand why I still had all my problems.

All alone, couldn't find no help

And a stage ain't a good place to find yourself

So I started looking ways, hoping if I got bigger

All my confidence would too. Didn't work, go figure.

Big old chip, hole in my heart

I even bought a chain with ice that glow in the dark

But it didn't work though

It interrupt my workflow

Heard them haters talk shit

And I took it personal

But today I feel like someone answered my prayers

I know it's coming now, so it's cool

It's peeling off in layers

To what's underneath

What makes the real me?

I want you to see

My faith, my struggle, my story

My life, my heart, my spirit, my time

My fight, my flaws, my errors, my guide

My life, my heart, my spirit, my time

My light, my light

What was before?

My life, my life, my life, my life

What was before?

My life, my life, my life, my life

What is meant to be will be, all the rest we'll see

All the rest we'll see, I had to dream up new dreams

'Cause I'm living out my dreams

Yeah, let's just say it was a new beginning

I follow my heart, and now I'm winning, winning, winning like I'm supposed to

Like I'm made for

Shaun told me, we're still the same, bro

All I know is God made me really good at writing songs

You can chase the wrong shit your whole life long

But it didn't work though

It interrupted your workflow

I was on the wrong path, spinning around in circles

But today I feel like someone answered my prayers

I know it's coming now, so it's cool

It's peeling off in layers

To what's underneath

What makes the real me?

I want you to see

My faith, my struggle, my story

My life, my heart, my spirit, my time

My fight, my flaws, my errors, my guide

My life, my heart, my spirit, my time

My light, my light

What was before?

My light, my light, my light, my light

What was before?

My light, my light, my light, my light

What was before?

My light, my light, my light, my light

What was before?

My light, my light, my light, my light

What was before?

My light, my light, my light, my light

What was before?

My light, my light, my light, my light

What was before?

My light, my light, my light, my light

What was before?

My light
