(Verse 1)
(JackCity) First off/ I'm struggling to express my feelings a lot/ I'm feeling like I've constantly lost/ an thats because/ i don't wanna stop/ but most the time i just don't see what other option I've got/ need to hold an emotion to pull from/ I'm tryina combat my fear/ tryina show no weakness here/ but what/ I've learnt over the past few years/ I've grown up yet I'm still stuck in the same old rut/ it sucks/ I'm always looking for my next pin me up/ like pick Jack up/ i should be looking in myself if I'm after some love/ but/my head just says its tough luck/ just toughen up/ your only acting like you've got it rough/ i wish it was that clear cut/ yo i know I'm loved/ but my life feels like its been flipped up/ an I've realised a thousand things i never thought i would/ stuff i swear/ swears cutting me up.
(Bridge) So this is my story.
(Verse 2)
(JackCity) Yea i could just sit an sulk/ but nothing goods ever happened to anyone that just give up uh/ come on pick up them feet/ get back on track the less you sit an rest the more you get blessed its a fact huh/ thats the past/ an the past has no control over the present/ unless you let it/ an to me yea thats pathetic/ I'm athletic/ I'm poetic/ it must be genetic/ but no ones taking credit/ unapologetic/ there i said it/ yea i want another bird/ but the reality is/ i wouldn't be ready for her/ I want hip hop an whatever that incurs/ i just want the benefits of a bird/ cause my career will always come first (errrr)/ (noise makers)/ these people are so obsessed with their own voices/ so wrapped up in themselves they've never had an opportunity to think up anything of quality/ they'll leave this earth forgotten/ they'll always be nothing but a prospect.
(Bridge) This is my story.
(Verse 3)
(JackCity) Theres not a day that goes by/ were i don't think about if i leave a legacy behind when i die/ i can't die holding onto my words/ but for real I'm scared that they'll never be heard/ i don't care if i don't change the world/ i just wanna effect people that i don't even know/ with my work/ so i write/ every day every night/ desperately tryina hit the heights that i believe i can write/ an theres no might its just will/ an i will/ I'm telling you cause if you feel the same i believe in you too/ don't worry about tryina be cool/ just be you/ thats what needs to see you through/ don't let any ego inflate/ like a balloon/ keep your feet on the ground an let the pavement save you/ an take you/ I'm not tryina change you/ just be willing to learn from the mistakes that I've made/ it took me a while.
