Face Facts

Oh, oh, oh, yeah, yeah

Once upon a time there was a boy with a dream

To make it to a point where his family wouldn't need

And he would be successful and not plagued with having greed

Will he face the fact? It's not as easy as it seems

First of all I'm sorry, I know this is boring

Hearing me recite my past, half the class snoring

Listen, I can tell a lot and say I'm touring Florence

Knowing that I'm scared of heights, no I wasn't soaring

I put my effort in, knew it'd pay off in the end

But it's been five years and counting, tell me when will I begin?

And that's probably why I'm stuck, yeah that's probably why I plateaued

Probably why I suck at booking shows, so I sat home

Texting all my friends like you see me flooding iTunes

I just dropped a single, honestly these more like my tunes

I'm the one that listens to them, I'm the one that gives them out

They want dedication to them, but they still don't help me out

I'm not bitter, these the facts that I'm stating

Bro, funding you ain't no, you never gon' repay it

Got something that I hide, but today I'm gonna say it

You may wanna see me win, but you don't wanna see me make it

I've been trying for a long time

I've been thinking maybe I should give it up

But my heart too fixed on it, it's fixed on it

Have I finally had enough?

Man it's time to face facts

Maybe I should give it up?

Man it's time to face facts (yeah)

Have I finally had enough?

Let me shine some light on my thought process if that's okay

Seems when the cameras roll it's all okay

Seems when the game is over that's when you play

All the places I will see, like Dr. Seuss say

You outside looking in at how I work

I've been knocked down so low that I've tasted dirt

And not to mention that I could've been dead already

I just haven't served my purpose, there's no telling where I'm headed

Look at people my age and say how come I haven't done that

Then think about it, there's no way I could've done that

Start with the skeletons in my bedroom

I've been planning to expand, I'ma need the headroom

You looking for the cat to fish out your new broom

I'm secluded from society, I play my own tune

And to make matters worse, everything is my fault

I can't blame nobody else, 'cause I knew this would cost

I've been trying for a long time

I've been thinking maybe I should give it up

But my heart too fixed on it, it's fixed on it

Have I finally had enough?

Man it's time to face facts

Maybe I should give it up, man it's time to face facts

Have I finally had enough?

I've been questioned more than ever about my future plans

Like go join the military, be a real man

Or go finish college up and be a grad man

Or find another job and be a family man

Don't make me give up on my dreams 'cause you did it

I know I've been thinking about it but can't quit it

If one day I make it I knew I was gonna get it

And y'all be clapping like, oh Cam, you did it

But where's that clapping when I'm broke trying to make it, huh?

Where's that clapping when I'm stuck against the ropes, huh?

Don't answer that, I know the truth, it don't change

They only proud of you after your life changed

I won't change, it's the same old Cam

That tried to show you love, bring you all in the fam

But you rejected me, rejectance make a better me

Time I face the facts more like time I feel the legacy

I've been trying for a long time

I've been thinking maybe I should give it up

But my heart too fixed on it, it's fixed on it

Have I finally had enough?

Man it's time to face the facts

Maybe I should give it up

Man it's time to face the facts

Have I finally had enough?
