Killin It

I put my soul into every lyric I've ever written

I leave my heart on the stage

Burnin the wicks at both ends of all my candles and man I'm

Feelin too old for my age

Fightin for crumbs at the Music City supper table

Bringin 'em home hoping it's enough to feed my kids

They know my name at at least a dozen record labels

But they don't know what to label this

So it's a pat on the back

They keep on tellin me that…

​I'm killin it but I don't know if

​I'm livin a nightmare or I'm livin the dream

​I'm givin it all I can give

But only God knows if I'm even gonna be

Still standin when it does or doesn't happen

​Ain't got a whole lotta blood left to bleed

​They say I'm killin it but I don't know if

​I'm really killin it or if it's killin me

I go back home, play a show and sell out every ticket

They make me feel like a king

Cuz I got a song on the radio but they don't know that

I still ain't makin ends meet

I put my effort into betterin the songs I'm makin

They want my focus on my socials, it's a numbers game

I play to win but chasin trends ain't a path I'm takin

Even if it takes me straight to my grave

Let 'em say…

​I'm killin it but I don't know if

​I'm livin a nightmare or I'm livin the dream

​I'm givin it all I can give

But only God knows if I'm even gonna be

Still standin when it does or doesn't happen

​Ain't got a whole lotta blood left to bleed

​They say I'm killin it but I don't know if

​I'm really killin it or if it's killin me

​I'm killin it but I don't know if

​I'm livin a nightmare or I'm livin the dream

​I'm givin it all I can give

But only God knows if I'm even gonna be

Still standin when it does or doesn't happen

​Ain't got a whole lotta blood left to bleed

​They say I'm killin it but I don't know if

​I'm really killin it or if it's killin me
