Lyrics

Hook:

I’m shattered inside but I still gotta battle and ride

I’m rattled and shy but I still gotta capture the prize

And make something outta nothing to succeed in this life

It takes effort to get better and I think I’m doing it right so

V1

Man I’m dying insideeee everything’s falling apart

Although I’m tryna get by I feel like I failed from the start

I had a glimmer of hope but it just came and went

Now it’s gone with the wind I never made a dent

I never made a centttt just enough to pay the rentttt

I wanna make you proud but I feel slayed and bent

To the point where I broke it really sucks to be scared

When you’re broke as a joke but I gotta stay prepared

Cause you never know when it’s your time to blow up

You put in the time and sweat it’s not enough to just show up

These feelings of inadequacy are enough to just rattle me

And life is a quest where there constantly is a battle see

You can put your walls up and equip your armour

But until you open up a bit life will just disarm ya

This reality’s torture these obstacles will torch ya

That’s why you gotta man up and become an enforcer so

Hook:

I’m shattered inside but I still gotta battle and ride

I’m rattled and shy but I still gotta capture the prize

And make something outta nothing to succeed in this life

It takes effort to get better and I think I’m doing it right

I’m shattered inside but I still gotta battle and ride

I’m rattled and shy but I still gotta capture the prize

And make something outta nothing to succeed in this life

It takes effort to get better and I think I’m doing it right so

V2

When did it become so hard to play your part in life

When did days become so long I never really got it started right

I can’t believe I’m almost thirty with basically nothing to show

For the effort put in and all the songs that I wrote woah

I’ve made a couple mistakes but I thought I had what it takes

But I guess that everyone breaks under pressure from hate

I can’t be lesser than great I’ve learned my lessons but wait

I gotta check on the stakes plus I got a message to make

If you don’t believe in yourself you’ll never get the wealth

You’ll never get the belt and it’s okay to ask for help

I don’t claim to know it all I don’t think anyone does

If they do they’re lying cause you can never know enough

It’s true I’ve shattered into pieces but they can be picked up

You should never give up keep trying and soon you’ll lift up

And reach heights you’ve never seen it’s a dream to me

Keep your eyes open cause life’s not what it seems to be eh

Hook:

I’m shattered inside but I still gotta battle and ride

I’m rattled and shy but I still gotta capture the prize

And make something outta nothing to succeed in this life

It takes effort to get better and I think I’m doing it right

I’m shattered inside but I still gotta battle and ride

I’m rattled and shy but I still gotta capture the prize

And make something outta nothing to succeed in this life

It takes effort to get better and I think I’m doing it right so

V3

I feel like I’m an embarrassment I show all of this arrogance

But where has that landed me should I go see a therapist

To sort out all these issues and the shit I been through

Cause I sure as hell cannot keep going and continue

On the road that I’m on cause it’s a path to self destruction

All the nights I drink myself silly it’s just so disgusting

All the work I could be doing to better myself instead I’m flushing

All my potential down the drain it’s insane I’ve had enough man

I will step up and get my rep up no time to rest brah

I gotta get the cheques never let up and go get what

I deserve to get but I’m unnerved upset from these results

I’ve only got five bucks from two albums it’s an insult

I’ve been grinding for over ten years at my craft what’s next

I know I got the talent enough skill to get success

Even though I’m broken inside I can hope to devise

A plan to get fans and respect and I know I’ll rise so

Hook:

I’m shattered inside but I still gotta battle and ride

I’m rattled and shy but I still gotta capture the prize

And make something outta nothing to succeed in this life

It takes effort to get better and I think I’m doing it right

I’m shattered inside but I still gotta battle and ride

I’m rattled and shy but I still gotta capture the prize

And make something outta nothing to succeed in this life

It takes effort to get better and I think I’m doing it right so
