I used to barely fill up the gas
Ride through the city try to make it last
Been a long time coming
Since me and my last, never did last
Always been on the go
19, moved out on my own
Only a couple of G's but man I had dreams
And that's what you need
When you believe
You're gonna get it by any means
Only been searching for better things
I am the eye of the storm
Never been letting the bad weather get to me
Look at the way that I dropped all the weight
I had to change, I had to bloom
Down a hundred pounds
Look at the way that I light up the room
That's sacrifices, if you want it bad, then you gotta know what your appetite is
And I want it bad, eat anything in my path
Only way that I got women to look at me was make them laugh
And now that i'm looking back all I can say is

Don't give up, no matter what any one says
Don't lose faith, no matter how hard it gets but
Don't give up, no matter what any one says
Don't lose faith, no matter how hard it gets but

I remember broke days
I remember being stuck only could afford the uber one way
I remember all the thunder and the rain
Checking for checks to come in the mail
I had to just count up my change
Insufficient funds I had to put it back
Leaving Ralphs, skating home, empty backpack on my back
Those are times that made me snap
That those are times that made me Matt
Those are times I'd never ever take em back
I know Ma' you've been hurting from my fucking dad
I'd do anything to take away your pain
You just remember that


Don't give up, no matter what any one says
Don't lose faith, no matter how hard it gets but
Don't give up, no matter what any one says
Don't lose faith, no matter how hard it gets but
