The Pursuit

[Verse 1: Ivan B] 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'd 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and I hate it, cause maybe I feel like I feel she'll break it You've done it before we dated, now my love to you is outdated Cause remember the time you looked in my eyes, and you told me you loved me?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 Not my full sign then 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 my self 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: Ivan B] 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, No 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 are 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.
