I'm comin' [00:09.24]Don't don't lose faith in me [00:15.98]I know you've been waitin' [00:20.09]Know you've been prayin' for my soul [00:25.07]Hope hope [00:33.82]Thirty years you been draggin' your feet [00:36.53]Tellin' me I'm the reason we're stagnant [00:41.03]Thirty years you've been claimin' you're honest and promisin' progress [00:45.84]But where's it at [00:48.16]I don't want you to feel like a failure [00:52.16]I know this hurts [00:55.34]But I gave you your chance to deliver [00:59.34]Now it's my turn [01:02.31]Don't get me wrong Nate you've had a great run [01:09.61]But it's time to give the people somethin' different [01:16.99]So without further ado I'd like to introduce my [01:23.85]My album my album my album my album [01:26.65]My album my album my album [01:29.24]HOPE [01:31.41]What's my definition of success [01:35.36]Listening to what your heart says [01:38.92]Standing up for what you know is [01:40.87]Right while everybody else is [01:42.53]Tucking their tail between their legs [01:44.18]Okay [01:45.89]What's my definition of success [01:47.59]Success [01:49.53]Creating something no one else can [01:53.34]Bein' brave enough to dream big [01:54.94]Grindin' when you're told to just quit [01:57.09]Givin' more when you got nothin' left [01:58.74]It's a person that'll take a chance on [02:00.24]Somethin' they were told could never happen [02:01.79]It's a person that can see the bright side [02:03.79]Through the dark times when there ain't one [02:05.54]It's when someone who ain't never had nothin' [02:07.67]Ain't afraid to walk away from more profit [02:09.78]'Cause they'd rather do somethin' that they really love [02:11.93]And take the pay cut [02:12.93]It's a person that would never waiver [02:14.37]Or change who they are [02:15.92]Just to try to and gain some credibility [02:17.93]So they could feel accepted by a stranger [02:19.73]It's a person that can take the failures in their life [02:21.93]And turn them into motivation [02:23.29]It's believing in yourself when no one else does [02:26.04]It's amazing [02:26.89]What a little bit of faith can do [02:28.84]If you don't even believe in you [02:30.55]Why would you think or expect anybody else that's around you to [02:34.15]I done did things that I regret [02:35.80]I done said things I can't take back [02:37.65]Was a lost soul at a cross road who had no hope [02:40.40]But I changed that [02:41.30]I spent years of my life holdin' on to things I never should've kept [02:44.35]Full of hatred [02:45.15]Years of my life carryin' a lot of baggage [02:47.31]That I should've walked away from [02:48.71]Years of my life wishin' I was someone different [02:50.91]Lookin' for some validation [02:52.21]Years of my life tryna fill the void pretending I was in [02:55.11]They get it [02:55.86]Growing pain's a necessary evil [02:57.36]Difficult to go through yes but beneficial [02:59.01]Some would say having a mental breakdown is a negative thing [03:01.82]Which on one hand I agree with [03:03.17]On the other hand it was the push I needed [03:04.76]To get help and start the healing process see [03:06.21]If I'd have never hit rock bottom [03:07.67]Would I be the person that I am today [03:09.32]I don't believe so [03:10.17]I'm a prime example of what happens when you [03:11.82]Choose to not accept defeat and face your demons [03:13.67]Took me thirty years to realize that if you [03:15.34]Wanna get the opportunity to be the greatest version of yourself [03:18.09]Sometimes you got to be someone you're not [03:19.79]To hear the voice of reason [03:20.74]Having kids will make you really take a step back [03:22.68]And look in the mirror [03:23.42]At least for me that's what it did I [03:24.82]Wake up every day and pick my son up [03:26.17]Hold him in my arms and let him know he's loved [03:27.86]Loved [03:28.06]Standing by the window questioning if dad is ever going to show up [03:31.06]Up [03:31.31]Isn't something he's goin' to have to worry 'bout [03:33.11]Don't get it twisted that wasn't a shot [03:34.67]Mama I forgive you [03:35.57]I just don't want him to grow up thinkin' that he'll never be enough [03:38.17]Thirty years of running thirty years of searching [03:40.17]Thirty years of hurting thirty years of pain [03:41.87]Thirty years of fearful thirty years of anger [03:43.57]Thirty years of empty thirty years of shame [03:45.55]Thirty years of broken thirty years of anguish [03:47.16]Thirty years of hopeless thirty years of [03:48.66]Hey [03:49.21]Thirty years of never thirty years of maybe [03:50.80]Thirty years of later thirty years of fake [03:52.66]Thirty years of hollow thirty years of sorrow [03:54.36]Thirty years of darkness thirty years of [03:55.81]Nate [03:56.26]Thirty years of baggage thirty years of sadness [03:57.91]Thirty years of stagnant thirty years of chains [03:59.71]Thirty years of anxious thirty years of suffering [04:01.51]Thirty years of torment thirty years of [04:02.96]Wait [04:03.46]Thirty years of bitter thirty years of lonely [04:05.17]Thirty years of pushing everyone away [04:07.02]You'll never evolve [04:07.87]I know I can change [04:08.72]We are not enough [04:09.47]We are not the same [04:10.47]You don't have the heart [04:11.27]You don't have the strength [04:12.17]You don't have the will [04:13.02]You don't have the faith [04:13.87]You'll never be loved you'll never be safe [04:15.72]Might as well give up [04:16.67]Not running away [04:17.52]You don't have the guts [04:18.60]You're the one afraid [04:19.40]I'm the one in charge [04:20.40]I'm taking the [04:20.95]No [04:21.35]I'm taking the [04:22.50]Reins
