Well I started with a dream
Standing on my last leg as I lean
Just me and my microphone
I used to have friends now everybody gone
Sometimes I be thinking where's everybody going
What nobody wants to work?
I'd be lying if I said it ain't hurt
But it's better to be the first
Just to show them I had to show me
And now I'm showing off everybody knows me
It's been a minute since I seen them
Or they probably herd something
When the doors of hope are closing in
And the one's you used to call your friends
Can never be found around
Keep your head off the ground
Look for the strength with in
I don't know how to say it or if I should
I'm second guessing moves I make
Cause they be watching every move I make
Like really can he make it?
Really can he take it that far?
I know I' raw but can't tell till I put it in bars
I can't stop cause I'm a fighter
So when ever they doubt I just dream away
When the doors of hope are closing in
And the one's you used to call your friends
Can never be found around
Keep your head off the ground
Look for the strength with in
I would say it's all good but I can't say it
They say just forgive and forget
Still remember when they dissed me
They said I wasn't nothing
Absoloots what they call me
Can't lock me down cause I got the key
Now I get money ain't no we
So I aim for the top cause that's where I got to be
When the doors of hope are closing in
And the one's you used to call your friends
Can never be found around
Keep your head off the ground
Look for the strength with in
