Against All Odds

Lyrics

[Chorus] You used to reach out to the stars (So long ago) But we can't see them, it's too dark (Everybody hold on for a minute, here) I think it's better off said than done (I'm not that ready to give up) My drum will beat against all odds [Verse 1] Growing up's been growing out of fashion They'll take away ya Neverland for chasing anything you might have passion in So growing up, my box rocket crashed in Hell Say what you want, but afterwards my understanding changed a little bit faster No one acting like it mattered has me learning through my raps some more How I could love the sad kid, then pass the knowledge backwards Flew to L.A., then told my parents this exactly, like I'll make good on your faith, give me a couple years to practice, and I Knew I'd be great, but never knew how long this process was Counted every penny to the dollar when the time gets rough Hungry tryna prove to the world they can find a diamond cup While racing all the other diamond dozen, rhyming, signer ups [Pre-Chorus] Difference is? Momma told me, "sing from my heart." Texas told me, "don't come home unless the legend goes hard." I fell in love and found a muse that gets me ready to bar And I can teach you how to do it when you're playing my songs, yeah [Chorus] You used to reach out to the stars (So long ago) But we can't see them, it's too dark (Everybody hold on for a minute, here) I think it's better off said than done (I'm not that ready to give up) My drum will beat against all odds [Verse 2] Hi-hats and cymbals Snares, kicks, and rhythms Tambourines smackin' in the hands Serene and simple Jamming up a storm while y'all throwing down towels Hell, if y'all don't start rocking I might have to hit a cowbell Smile like I chose to Laugh like I'm supposed to And it's nice losin' my fear of what can happen after Like if we give it one more year, we'll leave a banner in the rafters And a trophy in the cabinet So come on, pick your head up one more time The sun's creeping like demon from that same blue sky And turn your back to Contrary to belief, we all were kids for a reason It's not too late to keep dreaming And as for me, I'm still sleeping We rolled the boulder to the top Wipe your brow, we're getting closer to the goal that no one thought Stick around, no four leaf clovers in this world, we're tore to none But I can tell you all about it when you help beat the odds Yeah [Outro] Love, the Sad Kid
