Raw

The tears on a pillow could drown a man in disbelief

My pride won't accept defeat

But is it worth the grief and the agony for the need to succeed

Especially when the chances are slim to none

And failure's a possible outcome

Almost a decade on the grind and the loss has been costly

The most on the ones closest, it's deeper than money

Especially on the ones that ride and take the blows with me

And some follow me on the verge of destroyin' me

Losin' my sanity, they're breakin' all around me

But yet knowingly still I risk it all willingly

Is it worth it

That's what I ask myself

My heart, my home, my soul

Is it worth it

I don't know anymore

My kids, my life, my goals

I sacrifice it all to fulfill my dreams

While those I love fall apart at the seams

Is it worth it

I risk it all willingly

Tell me is it worth it

I risk it all willingly

I gave it all to fulfill this dream

I honestly thought it was my destiny

Left behind my life and family

But is it worth it to be this unhappy

And it hurts to keep the tears from showin'

Here I am, got no plans of slowin' down

Those I love have no way of knowin'

All I've lost, so I gotta keep goin'

But still I'm

Standin' while everything falls

You gotta answer when fate calls

Believe I'ma tear down these walls

Knowin' that I risked it all

Ain't held nothin' back

Through the pain and the bullshit

I'm finally comfy in my own flesh

And it's all on me

Knowin' in my heart that I've given nothin' less than

Every part of my being, please believe I'm

Climbin' the highest mountain, and I'ma reach it

Dive in the deepest waters, without sinkin'

With the world comin' at me, I eat it without blinkin'

Cryin' for a reason, to make it easy

For the change in the seasons

I'm bare my soul to the ink and my pens bleedin'

I'm not leavin' and I'ma risk it all

Till the day I stop breathin'

Is it worth it

That's what I ask myself

My heart, my home, my soul

Is it worth it

I don't know anymore

My kids, my life, my goals

Sacrifice it all to fulfill my dreams

While those I love fall apart at the seams

Is it worth it

I risk it all willingly

Tell me is it worth it

I risk it all willingly

Risk it all willingly

Game ain't givin' me nothin'

I grind it for my own, say somethin'

Risk it all willingly

Haters ain't feelin' me, fuck ‘em

I earned it on my own, say somethin'
