I figured why I took my life for granted
Why I forced me into nights I can't believe I managed
Sleep got stolen its aight
The nightmares made me panic
But looking back I took some damage
How am I still standing?
I ask myself every day
A lot of shit on my mind
They look at me like I stink
I said I'd do more by now
For that, I'm sorry for the wait
Made promises to my mom
It felt like a mistake
Because it take me more time
Don't mean it can't be my fate
Put my faith in the God
And put my stressing away
Stay up stirring the pot
Until it's ready for plates
And serve it all to who stayed down
Believed I can when I ain't
They said
Keep dancing like the don't set
Feel planted, give it all you can
Keep dancing like the don't set
Feel planted, give it all you can
The way you feel 'bout yourself is always reflected
No wonder why I never was feeling like I'm respected
And the few times they point at my strengths
Would never accept it
The devil whispers loud 'til you're deaf, and you just reject it
My heart
Falling victim to stressing
And it ain't take very long for my mind to come next
If I follow paths that were paved
That'd mean I knew where they headed
Even if I'm in bed
Comfort done turned to a weapon
Let be my biggest lesson
Get into some shit you start making mistakes
Act like you got it all figured out
Just so they view you a certain way
Meanwhile, you're crumbling from the inside out
Just keep dancing
One day you'll get it
You try and hide
But then it's lie
And never face the reason
Moms don't even recognize you
The pressure of the ball 'cause you better not let it drop or forget it
Prove right those who said the world is better off, if you're dead
And that's wrong
Sometimes, you gotta put it down for a second
'Cause who wants to follow someone hanging on by a thread
Get your shit together
Before you can win together
Sometimes to slip and fall just means you built for different measures
You just gotta re-frame the picture
Reclaim your inner king
Let the devil watch as you keep changing for better
The storm is never done
It grown the you run
So, you may as well face it all head on
Until you won
So, I say
Keep dancing like the don't set
Feel planted, give it all you can
Keep dancing like the don't set
Feel planted, give it all you can
Don't stop
