Lost so many people to this absurd dream
People came and left never to be seen
Again
Even lost some friends
Even lost some that said they'd be there till the end
We smiled and we cried
We had some good times
But nothing lasts forever, and you learn that with time
Everything comes to an end
Right as you're gonna ascend
It's true, it hurts when they go
Putting in the work but they don't see it no more
Who needs those that don't want you to succeed
They don't got the vision to believe
This is hard, they don't know it
I've done my best not to show it
Struggled too much almost every day
So there's only one thing I got to say
You don't believe in me like me
Yeah you don't realize this is my dream
Cuz you know I gotta make it
And I'm chasing
This one big dream's in the making
Yeah you don't believe in me like I believe in me
They sending vids
They sending pics
With my name on the dashboard
They say they're rocking out but I hear laughter in the background
Where
Do you get the time
To try to bring someone down who's only tryna shine
I mean I did start bad
I take the fault on all that
But can't you see that shining beam when people sing my song back
I still dream of all the plaques
Platinum or gold I want that
But I can't succeed with all these demons that always try to fight back
This is hard
This is cruel
This is brutal
It's even worse when they think that they can fool you
But I'm not asking for no approval
I just need me
A bit of faith
That's what's crucial
Why
Don't they believe in a kid
And want that support after
Hypocrite
But karma does it's work so I got no regrets
But I'll work till I make, but for now I will say
You don't believe in me like me
Yeah you don't realize this is my dream
Cuz you know I gotta make it
And I'm chasing
This one big dream's in the making
Yeah you don't believe in me like I believe in me
Sometimes I feel life is not real
Thought of giving up, that's a real feel
Going round and round like a pinwheel
But I've solidified, hearts made of steel
You don't believe in me
I felt that deep within me
But know
When I succeed
It'd be worth all the god damn grief
You don't believe in me like me
Yeah you don't realize this is my dream
Cuz you know I gotta make it
And I'm chasing
This one big dream's in the making
Yeah you don't believe in me like I believe in me
