[Verse 1]
Cb7What's my definition of succеss? (Of success)
BbmListening to what your heart says (Your heart says)
Standing up for what you know is (Is)
Cb7Right, while everybody else is (Is)
Cb7 Cb7 BbmTucking their tail between their legs (Okay)
Cb7What's my definition of success? (Of success)
BbmCreating something no one else can (Else can)
Being brave enough to dream big (Big)
Cb7Grinding when you're told to just quit (Quit)
Cb7 Cb7Giving more when you got nothing left (Left)
BbmIt's a person that'll take a chance on
Something they were told could never happen
Cb7It's a person that can see the bright side
Through the dark times when there ain't one
BbmIt's when someone who ain't never had nothin'
Ain't afraid to walk away from
Cb7More profit 'cause they'd rather Do somethin'
That they really love and take the pay cut
BbmIt's a person that would never waver
Or change who they are
Cb7Just to try to and gain some credibility
So they could feel accepted by a stranger
BbmIt's a person that can take the failures in their life and turn them into motivation
Cb7 Cb7 Cb7 Cb7It's believing in yourself when no one else does, it's amazin'
BbmWhat a little bit of faith can Do if you don't even believe in you
Cb7Why would you think or expect anybody else that's around you to?
BbmI done did things that I regret, I done said things I can't take back
Cb7Was a lost soul at a crossroad who had no hope, but I changed that
BbmI spent years of my life holdin' on to things I never should've kept, full of hatred
Cb7Years of my life carryin' a lot of baggage that I should've walked away from
BbmYears of my life wishin' I was someone different, lookin' for some validation
Cb7 Cb7 Cb7Years of my life tryna fill the void, pretending I was in—
They get it
[Verse 2]
BbmGrowing pain's a necessary evil
Difficult to Go through, yes, but beneficial
Cb7Some would say having a mental breakdown is a negative thing
Cb7Which on one hand, I agree with
BbmOn the other hand, it was the push I needed
To get help and start the healing process, see
Cb7If I'd have never hit rock bottom
Would I be the person that I Am today?
Cb7I don't believe so
BbmI'm a prime example of what happens when you choose to not accept defeat and face your demons
Cb7 Cb7Took me thirty years to realize that if you wanna get that opportunity
BbmTo be the greatest version of yourself, sometimes you got to be someone you're not
To hear the voice of reason
Cb7Having kids will make you really take a step back and look in the mirror
At least for me, that's what it did, I
[Outro]
BbmWake up every day and pick my son up
Hold him in my arms and let him know he's loved (Loved)
Cb7Standing by the window, questioning if dad is ever going to show up (Up)
BbmIsn't something he's goin' to have to worry 'bout
Don't get it twisted, that wasn't a shot
Cb7Mama, I forgive you
I just don't want him to grow up thinkin' that he'll never be enough
BbmThirty years of running, thirty years of searchin'
Thirty years of hurting, thirty years of pain
Cb7Thirty years of fearful, thirty years of anger
Thirty years of empty, thirty years of shame
BbmThirty years of broken, thirty years of anguish
Thirty years of hopeless, thirty years of (Hey)
Cb7Thirty years of never, thirty years of maybe
Thirty years of later, thirty years of fake
BbmThirty years of hollow, thirty years of sorrow
Thirty years of darkness, thirty years of (Nate)
Cb7Thirty years of baggage, thirty years of sadness
Thirty years of stagnant, thirty years of chains
BbmThirty years of anxious, thirty years of suffering
Thirty years of torment, thirty years of (Wait)
Cb7Thirty years of bitter, thirty years of lonely
Thirty years of pushing everyone away ('Way)
Bbm(You'll never evolve) I know I can change
(We are not enough) We are not the same
Cb7(You don't have the heart) You don't have the strength
(You don't have the will) You don't have the faith
Bbm(You'll never be loved, you'll never be safe)
(Might as well give up) Not running away
Cb7(You don't have the guts) You're the one afraid
(I'm the one in charge) I'm taking the— (No)
I'm taking the
