The beginning
Of Kings And Men Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every day, with the intent to give this life a whole new meaning
Everything is just a game, and this world could be deceiving
But I got to take a minute to be thankful that I'm breathing
Cause through all of the misleading's
I've come to realize why my heart is still beating
Yeah, you'll never catch me sleeping, but you know I'm always dreaming
Til I reach my destination, there ain't nothing intervening
Climbing up the wall, look at what I've been achieving
It's from the heart, that's the only place I'm speaking
I already lost my mind, so that's the only thing I'm keeping
Everything else is just so displeasing
That's why I only stick to what I know and believe in
And I can never cease, this is my inner peace
Create through the madness, eat, sleep, repeat
Keep it going, yeah, I never miss a beat
I could run for miles till I feel it in my feet
They already know this, and I'm never losing focus, take on any major courses any day Of the week
I ain't tired, I ain't trying to go to sleep
4 AM, ain't up to shit but writing heat
Looks like your words are getting stuck between your teeth
Plus I'm tired of your talking, you should go and take a seat
Cause I'm already gone, you can't stop me now
Made my own way, you won't bring me down
Everybody talks about it, at the end of the day, they just hate to see you smile
Bet you'd like to see me on my way out
But on the contrary, I'm a be here for a while
Never was the type to chase clout
But I always come correct, I'm creatin' my own style
Yeah I think you get the gist
Living ten steps ahead, so you know I never miss
Lifelong goals keep on adding to the list
And I'm conquering them all before I cease to exist
Always persist, and always resist
Anything to lose focus, man my friends are probably pissed
If I left you in the dust, I didn't mean for the twist
It's just not the type of place I'm going to want to reminisce on
Tryna get up out of here, I want to be gone
This will always be my home, I just can't stay for long
Travel all around the world so they can hear my song
Stage calling my name, it's where I belong
And I won't let nothing stop me, even when the road gets choppy, till my fan base grows to 10 million strong
Actin' like I don't know right from wrong
Makin' noise all the way from CT to Hong Kong
I'm a hear the talking all the way to the top
But it don't make a difference, they know I'll never stop
Late night, after hours, coming in with the mop
And a trash bag, so I could clean the mess that you dropped
Always thought I was the quiet kid, but now they're all shocked
When they take a look at me and see the skills I adopt
Bout a take 'em for a whirl and give their heads a knock
Cause I'm leaving my mark while they're just watching the clock
I can't fold, there's too much I have at stake
No matter how much I bend, I know that I won't break
Every second of my waking day, I'm just trying to navigate through this road I take
No time to pick and choose what's true or fake
This life was given to me, and it's mine to take
Only get one chance, no room for mistakes
I'm not going to waste my time living amongst the snakes
Cause I'm already gone, you can't stop me now
Made my own way, you won't bring me down
Everybody talks about it, at the end of the day, they just hate to see you smile
Bet you'd like to see me on my way out
But on the contrary, I'm a be here for a while
Never was the type to chase clout
But I always come correct, I'm creatin' my own style
Face to face with the fate of the rest of my life
Do whatever it takes to survive
Going up new levels all to truly thrive
It's a journey to the top, and soon enough, I'll arrive
An explosion of emotion that I feel inside
I leave it all on the line, so I got nothing to hide
And by the way that things are beginning to coincide
It seems the life I'm looking for has arms open wide
