[Intro - Beth Gibbons Sample] Let the show begin It's a sorry sight Let it all deceive Now I'm Pains in me That I'd never found [Verse 1] They ask me what’s your motivation, money or fam? You ask me, well they’re one in the same You’d understand if you knew of the places I came from Nothing I could lose, only shit I could gain Like what’s the point of being alive if you don’t make a difference? Contemplating suicide, heavy’s the decision But I’d rather keep living, even if I feel diminished Cause I’m the one that decides when everything is finished So when tough times roll in and everything’s against me I promise I'ma give it all I got until I’m empty And when I see that all hope is dying I won’t stop I promise to keep trying [Hook - Sample] But it’s all just a show A time for us, and the words we’ll never know And daylight comes, and fades with the tide And I’m here to stay [Verse 2] Even if its late night, eyes wide open trying to see the signs Searching for the meaning behind a recurring dream of mine Everyday it gets colder, no summertime I haven’t seen the sun for months, does it even shine? A woman in the distance, when I reach her She starts to speak to me never using one word She says don’t worry things will go as they should And her stare told me more than any set of words could She said your competition is weak so never mind them You were far ahead even when u fell behind them Its all about timing, be glad its on your side And the sun on that day it arrives, just let it shine in I nod to her, but what’s the meaning of it? I don’t know, but I always get this feeling from it Reach the top, will I be one of the few that does it? Or will I live my whole life just dreaming of it I don’t know... [Hook] [Outro] But listen I’ll keep trying Said I promise to keep trying Will I win and beat failure Or begin to meet failure I don’t know I’ll keep trying Said I promise to keep trying When tough times roll in, and everything’s against me I promise I'ma a give it all I got until I’m empty Said I promise to keep trying Yeah I promise to keep trying Till I’m gone
