I know you've been prayin' for my soul
Hope
Hope
30 years you've been dragging your feet telling me I am the reason we're stagnant
30 years you’ve been claiming you’re honest and promising progress, well, where’s it at
I dont want you to feel like a failure, i know this hurts
But I gave you a chance to deliver now it turn
Don’t get me wrong
NATE YOU HAD A GREAT RUN
but its time to....
GIVE THE PEOPLE SOMETHING DIFFERENT
So without further a do, id like to introduce
My album, my album, my album, my album, MY ALBUM, MY ALBUM

What's my definition of success? (Of success)
Listening to what your heart says!
Standing up for what you know is (is) right while everybody else is (is)
Tucking their tail between their legs (OKAY!)
What's my definition of success? (Of success)
Creating something no one else can
Being brave enough to dream big (big)
Grinding when you're told to just quit
Giving more when you got nothing less
It's a person that'll take a chance on, something they were told could never happen
It's a person that can see the bright side through the dark times when there ain't one
It's when someone who ain't never had nothin' ain't afraid to walk away from more profit, cause they'd rather do somethin' that they really love and take the pay cut
It's a person that'll never waiver or change who they are
just to try and gain some credibility so they can feel accepted by a stranger
its a person that can take the failures in life and turn it into motivation
It's believing in yourself when no one else does, it's amazing
What a little bit of faith can do if you don't even believe in you
Why would you think or expect anybody else that's around you to?
i done did things that i regret, i dont said things i cant take back, was a lost soul at a crossroad who had no hope but i changed that
i spent years of my life holding on to things i never should've kept full of hatred
years of my life carrying lots of baggage I should have walked away from
Years of my life wishin' I was someone different, lookin' for some validation, Years of my life tryna fill the void, pretending I was in-
THEY GET IT
Growing pain's a necessary evil, difficult to go through? yes, but beneficial
Some would say having a mental breakdown is a negative which on one had I agreed with
on the other hand, it was the push i needed to get help and start the healing process, see if i did never hit rock bottom would i be the person that i am today? i dont believe so!
I'm a prime example of what happens when
you choose to not accept defeat and face your demons
took me thirty years to realize
That if you wanna get that opportunity to be the greatest
version of yourself sometimes you gotta be someone you're not to hear the voice of reason
Having kids will make you really take a step back and look in the mirror at for me least it did
Wake up ever morning pick my son up hold him in my arms let him know he’s loved (loved)
Standin by the window questioning if dad is ever going to show up (up)
isnt something he's gon have to worry about don't get it twisted that wasn't a shot
Mama i forgive give you, i just don’t want him to grow up, thinking that he will never be enough
30 years running, 30 years of searching, 30 years of hurtin, 30 years of pain
thirty years of fearful, thirty years of anger
Thirty years of empty, thirty years of shame
Thirty years of broken, thirty years of anguish
Thirty years of hopeless, thirty years of (hey)
Thirty years of never, thirty years of maybe
Thirty years of later, thirty years of fake
Thirty years of hollow, thirty years of sorrow
Thirty years of darkness, thirty years of (Nate)
30 years of baggage, 30 years of sadness
Thirty years of stagnant, thirty years of chains
Thirty years of anxious, thirty years of suffering
Thirty years of torment, thirty years of (wait)
Thirty years of bitter, thirty years of lonely, thirty years of pushing everyone away
(YOU'LL NEVER EVOLVE)
I KNOW I CAN CHANGE
(WE ARE NOT ENOUGH)
WE ARE NOT THE SAME
(YOU DONT HAVE THE HEART)
YOU DONT HAVE THE STRENGTH
(YOU DON'T HAVE THE WILL)
YOU DONT HAVE THE FAITH
(You’ll never be loved)
(YOU'LL NEVER BE SAFE)
Might as well give up
NOT RUNNING AWAY
(YOU DON'T HAVE THE GUTS)
YOU'RE THE ONE AFRAID
(I'm the one in charge)
