[Verse 1]

This for the kids who believe they could never do it

This for the ones too scared to try

This is the moment you step up and own it

Holding your head right to the sky

This is my story, my blood and my tears

My sweat and devotion, my dreams and my fears

I know I can make it, I feel it is near

This is the year, this is my year

Through heartbreaks and breakthroughs

Mistakes through high school and the hardest times I stayed cool even if I felt miserable

So I'm giving it all, I got nothing to lose

Chasing a dream you said I would lose

I've lost friends; I've lost love too

Hung on the journey, I'm finding the truth

Pursuing my dreams, pursuing my calls

I'm risking it all, I'll fly or I'll fall

No matter the outcome, I'll give it my all

Cause' I started from nothing - yeah - nothing at all

Not for the money, the love or the fame

But for the chance for you to hit 'play', Hear what I say, see me be great

And I'll show you how a heart breaks

Addicted to love and I hate it, cause maybe I feel like I feel she'll break it

You've done it before we dated, now my love to you is outdated

Cause remember the time you looked in my eyes, and you told me you loved me?

I bet you said the same thing when you were drunk at some dude's party

Can you feel every word, can you feel all my pain?

Yea, I know I bet you feel nothing

Yeah, I feel all the strain, you can call me insane, but I know for real, we have something

But enough with the stress, I'm gonna' leave it to rest, even if you did rip my heart from my chest

Wish you the best, even if I'm a mess but just know this, I'm never coming back

Cause I know things never stay the same, love comes and it never stays, best friends always seem to change

But this music always remains the same, through the bitter nights and the longer days, it's the only thing that's never changed

Cause I started from nothing, I started from scratch, too many times stabbed in the back

Now my phone is silent, left in my bag, what's the point I get no calls back, I know I've been busy; I know that's a fact

And at times I don't know where I'm at, I want to kick back, I want to chit-chat, but sometimes I can't, what's wrong with that?

Pursuing a dream, when you're pouring a drink, sometimes we do what just don't want to think

Cause that ain't the same sunshine to rain, but no matter what, we all just change

And lately I really don't know what to do

You wished I was there, but would leave me out too

My team is not just a limited few, so I guess I wish the best for you too

The smaller the circle the tighter the trust

Take my team with me, and leave y'all to rust

I never thought me, I always thought us

You always thought you, I gave you my trust

Don't need your doubts, I don't need your stress

The times I had with you were the best

But honestly you're just like the rest

Only come around when there's more than less

But shit happens, I know

And truly deep down I'm fine with that

Never had the time to even call me back

Wouldn't even care if I had a heart attack

So I keep myself up from your doubts and my fears

Fought through it all, from the pain and the tears

Picked myself up for my fans and my peers, for myself and my team, for my fans and I'm here

[Verse 2]

So I'm picking up the pieces, I'm putting down the past

Mom, you know I got you, I'm gonna pay every single cent back

Give you the light that I think you deserve

Bring my team up from the ground, off the dirt

Picked up a pen and I spilled out a verse

Maybe this time it might really work

Cause I'm getting impatient, I'm not gonna' lie

Hands in my pockets, my head to the sky

Got no wings, but I'm destined to fly

Open my eyes, and I'm ready to try

Cause, I know what it's like to be left behind

I know what it's like to give up inside

I run in my room; every night, I write, what it's like to put all of that on the side

I don't do it for me, I just do it for you

Give me your ears, and I'll give you mine too

You're part of my team, just know that that's true

This is my year, know it's yours too

Putting the fears and the lives of behind

I'm finding myself trying to live life right

Relieving the anger I've built up inside, like finding the light in the darkness of night

For the kids who believed they could never do it

For the ones too scared to even try

This is the moment you step up and own it

These are the times to feel alive

So, give me your heart and I'll give you mine too

Tell me your problems, I'll show you my wounds

Show me your tears that all dropped out of you

Happiness is what we pursue

But I'm chasing a dream, and I'm chasing the truth

Looking for love and I found it in you

Built up a team and we're ready to move

Ready to win or we're ready to lose

But, no matter the outcome, we do this for you

Give me your hand and we'll make it there soon

Life is just one beautiful view

We'll eventually get there

This is the pursuit

This is the pursuit

This is the pursuit

It's Ivan B
