Never Meant (Outerlude)

Never knew I could be attracted to you Ever since I was a kid, you had me acting a fool In class sittin' quiet, makin' plans to be cool Had me playin with fire, woulda had me burn down the school Unruly, truly, a loony, raising hell They told me keep this up if I would rather be raised in a cell See I was obsessed with the light and the smell of success I guess it stemmed from all the medals that would hang from my chest But inside my chest, the mic is what I'd rather express But my self doubt stopped me and said I could never impress Late nights I'd toss, my mind turned a million miles a minute Insomnia took over, still I had big dreams and ambitions Wishing for the best, but life took over instead And so began more of these voices that would speak in my head As the world around me changed, I had to earn a little change Still forever grateful for all the inspiration that stayed, look I work hard for the ones that I love But it's about time I rise above, dust off the old gloves Cause when push comes to shove, this music is what I love And I'd rather be shot down then regret not trying enough
