Committed Lyrics by Cole DeRuse

Defining DeRuse

2017

[Hook]
I'm committed
This is not a game for me to play
Cuz there’s many people usin’ my music as an escape
I’m committed
This not a hobby or a phase
Not a season of my life but this is every single day
I’m committed
And I’ll admit it time will never wait
Instead of sitting there wastin’ my minutes’ I got dreams to chase
I’m committed
And I don’t have much money in the bank
Because I spent every dollar I had, on this music thing
I’m committed
[Verse 1: Cole DeRuse]
Nine years I’ve spent learning to rhyme clear
I'm here, laziness is somethin’ you won’t find near
Keep it away it’ll lead me astray, I’m gonna to do what i need to obtain
So many goals in my life that are brave, conquerin’ my giant fears
Like rockin’ stages full of thousands of people
Hoppin’ on planes, flyin’ through the clouds like an eagle
Doing a world tour, speakin’ truth, exposin’ the evil
Even makin’ a bit of money doin’ everything legal, uh
But that won’t happen if I do not learn to sacrifice
(How much do you gotta give?) Everything, that’s the price
That’s all those nights, I would write in my room
Instead of goin’ out, gettin’ wasted and sleepin’ til noon 'cause I’m committed
I’ve only got so much time left, so many beats in my chest
Pennies, nickels dimes left but I’ma spend it
All on this music like I don’t got a limit
I’ma run this race and be the last one left sprintin’
[Hook]
I'm committed
This is not a game for me to play
Cuz there’s many people usin’ my music as an escape
I’m committed
This not a hobby or a phase
Not a season of my life but this is every single day
I’m committed
And I’ll admit it time will never wait
Instead of sitting there wastin’ my minutes’ I got dreams to chase
I’m committed
And I don’t have much money in the bank
Because I spent every dollar I had, on this music thing
I’m committed
[Verse 2: Cole DeRuse]
So committed some people must think I have a sickness
Get this, I grip this like I’m throwin’ discus
Puttin’ all I have into this music business
I’m sorta like a dog chasin’ his tail, my pursuit’s relentless
Some say to quit when you fail, but you fail when you quit
And failure isn’t, like jail or prison
Until you resent rowin’ when the sail has no wind
That’s why Usain Bolt excels and prevails in his sprints
His work ethic is sick, and i hope to replicate it
Training so hard will never give up and will never give into the cynics
I’m so driven, by this music thing that keeps on elevatin’
Takin me higher I’ll never get tired don’t matter if you’re never with it
I’m committed, I’ve only got so much time left so many beats in my chest
Pennies, nickels dimes left but I’ma spend it
All on this music like I don’t got a limit
I’ma run this race and be the last one left sprintin’
[Hook]
I'm committed
This is not a game for me to play
Cuz there’s many people usin’ my music as an escape
I’m committed
This not a hobby or a phase
Not a season of my life but this is every single day
I’m committed
And I’ll admit it time will never wait
Instead of sitting there wastin’ my minutes’ I got dreams to chase
I’m committed
And I don’t have much money in the bank
Because I spent every dollar I had, on this music thing
I’m committed
[Verse 3: Alyssa Marie]
I'm so committed, don't get in the way
Breakin' my stride's a game with your life that you never should play
Won't hesitate to take whatever you say to make it a weapon
And bury you with your own words already in vain, when every
Step that I take is calculated, with a goal in mind
Put in overtime for the sake of this fate I know is mine
Don't rely on no one to do my work
To reach the other side of this road I would move the earth
Know there's nothing I would stop at, not 'til the time is gone
I'm facin' forward, racin' toward the gate with blinders on
It's been a rough ride, thank God that my sight was strong
Cuz even through the darkest night I'd see the light of dawn
And that would keep me goin', now I'm gettin' there
The blood, sweat and tears are payin' off I know the end is here
And that means a new beginning is near
So whisper doubt into my ear, I'm too committed to care
[Hook]
I'm committed
This is not a game for me to play
Cuz there’s many people usin’ my music as an escape
I’m committed
This not a hobby or a phase
Not a season of my life but this is every single day
I’m committed
And I’ll admit it time will never wait
Instead of sitting there wastin’ my minutes’ I got dreams to chase
I’m committed
And I don’t have much money in the bank
Because I spent every dollar I had, on this music thing
I’m committed
