Everything To Nothing

I try to be everything that I can, but sometimes I come out as being nothing

I try to be everything that I can, but sometimes I come out as being nothing

I pray to God that he make me a better man

Maybe one day I'ma stand for something

I'm thanking God that he made you part of the plan

I guess I ain't go through all that hell for nothing

Too many people crying and bitch about pain

But what you know about pain, a life with no gain

Living in the streets, no love from your fam

Asking God why feelin less than a man

Made out to be a monster, viewed by society

And dealing with your demons, fighting sobriety

Six years of my life spent in the system

I was screaming for help, deaf ears only listening

Fake friends expose the truth of who they are

No matter my success, all I see is my scars

Heart on my sleeve, I was played too many times

Eyes can't hide the pain, on the surface I look fine

Even when the odds against me still never fold

My past is my past, let it go, it's so old

You ever felt the guilt of failing yourself

Then let depression take over and destroy your own health

I try to be everything that I can, but sometimes I come out as being nothing

I try to be everything that I can, but sometimes I come out as being nothing

I pray to God that he make me a better man

Maybe one day I'ma stand for something

I'm thanking God that he made you part of the plan

I guess I ain't go through all that hell for nothing

I tried to be a better man, yet a better father

Dedicated three years in the end, why even bother

You came into my life, brought joy when I was lost

But I suffered more than ever lost, more than I had lost

Ten years of pain, felt that rope getting tighter

Suicidal thoughts, I was no longer a fighter

Then God sent you to me, so you can save me

From the nightmares and the darkness that overcame me

It was like a weight had lifted, you made me feel whole

Showed me I had purpose and pushed me to my goal

I felt so alone in a world full of people

Lack of strength to go on, I was feeling so feeble

Forgot who I was, had a lack of self-worth

Wanted to reset, start over at birth

Daily struggles, a constant fight to stay alive

But with you by my side, you gave me strength to survive

I try to be everything that I can, but sometimes I come out as being nothing

I try to be everything that I can, but sometimes I come out as being nothing

I pray to God that he make me a better man

Maybe one day I'ma stand for something

I'm thanking God that he made you part of the plan

I guess I ain't go through all that hell for nothing
