Feelings
Ryan Caraveo Lyrics

What if I cant
What if I am unable to succeed

What if I dont
What if I never achieve my goals

What if I never taste it
What if I never experience success

what if I believe, sweat, grind, bleed, and nothing changes
What if I put in all the effort and hard work but still fail

So what if I hope my lady needs money, but what if i'm broke
What if I need to provide for my significant other, but I am financially struggling

what if i take all of them chances, get all them hands, but then again what if I choke
What if I take risks and try to seize opportunities, but fail to perform well under pressure

Breathe
Take a deep breath to calm down

Slow
Take it slow and steady

And forget those feelings
Let go of negative emotions

just be in my zone
Focus on my goals and work towards them

and forget they're filming
Ignore what other people think or say

then i go to my happiest place
Retreat to a comfortable and positive environment

where my past is erased
Put the past behind me and move on

and I find the passion it takes to mash on the gas and relax on the breaks
Regain motivation and determination to work hard towards my goals

Cause' I aint going back there
I refuse to go back to a negative state of mind or situation

Not that low
Not at a low point in my life

and not that scared
Not feeling scared or uncertain

I'm not gonna sit and smoke while I live life broke and laugh and blow it in the air
I will not waste my time and resources on destructive behaviors

Im sick of just running my gums
I am tired of just talking and not taking action

A sucker that's waiting for something to come
Someone who is waiting for success to come without putting in effort

Pretending im stunting but fronting no fronts
Acting like I am successful but not actually achieving anything

keeping a hunnit in front of some ones
Having a lot of money in front of people

laying on the couch
Being unmotivated and lazy

Brain full of drugs
Being under the influence of drugs and not thinking clearly

I don't want to talk, I just came for the buzz
I am not interested in conversation, just looking for a high

They said they cought me down
Others thought I was defeated

that ain't what it does
That's not what actually happened

I used to believe, but it ain't what I was
I used to have certain beliefs, but now I have different ones

telling everybody everything ima do
Boasting about my goals and plans to others

a year went by, I made no moves
A year passed, but I did not take any significant steps towards my goals

Waiting on luck, when I know it ain't enough
Relying on luck instead of putting in the necessary effort

and it took rock bottom to finally wake me up.
I had to hit a low point to realize I needed to make changes

and now I feeling like the man
Currently feeling confident and successful

cause I do my thing and I wont go back
I am successful because of my hard work and determination

even though I can
Even though I have the option to go back to my old ways

envision there's something I need
I have a specific goal or need in mind

Something I be
I have a strong desire or ambition

not what I do
My actions do not define who I am

I needed to breathe, needed to dream
I needed to take a break and think about my goals

yes I believe I got something to prove
I have something to prove to myself and others

I got this feeling inside, inside of my head
I have a strong intuition or feeling about something

and the lord knows i've been up to no good
God knows about my past mistakes and misdeeds

still haven't changed even though I should
I have not yet made the desired changes in my life

I promise to break
I promise to change my negative habits

before I drop to my knees
Before I hit rock bottom

if I could learn
If I could make the necessary changes

before I pray
Before I ask for help

then it's a problem that God doesn't need
I don't want to be a problem for God

It's more than just words, more than a phrase, more than advice, I got it from me
I am self-motivated and determined to succeed

Back from the bottom with nothing to fear
I have overcome my past mistakes and am not afraid to move forward

easy to say, harder to be
It's easier to talk about change than to actually make it happen

ready to go, go
Ready to take action

ready to jump
Ready to take risks

yeah, i've been on that bridge
I have been in a difficult or risky situation

never no hoe, hoe, never no love
Never a victim or a sucker, never giving up

that was the way that I lived
That was my previous lifestyle

Oh what a feeling to turn it around
What a great feeling it is to make positive changes in my life

after my ceiling was burned to the ground
After I hit rock bottom and lost everything

death was appealing, I stood up to deal with it, that is the feeling of earning a crown.
I faced my problems head on and overcame them, which gave me a great sense of accomplishment

I am a king
I am confident and successful

Fuck all the stresses man that's not a thing
I am not affected by stress or negativity

Fuck the depression man I got a dream and if I want excellence that's what i bring
I refuse to let depression or negativity hold me back from achieving my goals

I am the truth, I am the lie
I am honest and true to myself, but can also deceive myself

I am the wall between me and the prize
I am my own obstacle to success

I am the difference between being dead, while I am living, and living while I am alive
My attitude and actions determine whether I am truly living or not

and if I fail
If I do not succeed

then it's probably cause I dont have those great surroundings right?
It's my own fault if I do not succeed, not my environment or circumstances

Nah
No, that's not the reason

It's up to me to bring the great out of everything that I am surrounded by
I am the one responsible for making the best out of my environment and circumstances

And i'll admit I made up enough excuses
I acknowledge that I have made excuses in the past

the blame game that's just as useless
Blaming others or circumstances is not productive

the want that you have that's just as use it
Wanting something without taking action is pointless

ain't shit left, just fucking do it.
There are no more excuses, just take action and do it

dear lord.
