So Many Nights
Witt Lowry feat. Devvon Terrell Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So many nights I pray for the day
I knew for my dream, I do whatever it takes
Now here I stand, no one in my way
And now I'm surrounded by
All that people say

Yeah, they told me time is of the essence
I ain't sweating, I'm blessed
Blessing the tenants
While everybody changing
I never stray from my message
As I sit inside my room
It's a tomb to every invention
And every line that I never
Gave the time or attention
I'm learning my lesson, you
Looking for a mention, it's funny
What you would do for the approval
Of a room full of dummies
You think I made it
But I'm stuck here serving burgers for money
Itโ€™s funny how Iโ€™m selling beef for
You to want beef from me
My written turned into a vision
My vision to reality
My chips are on my dream and you
Seem to try to devalue me
Value me as less, I got no desk or a salary
You value me by likes on my pictures
Not personality
Living my own reality, manifested my vision
Looking at the sky
I thank God for what I was given
Based on how I'm living
I'm wondering if I'll get it
Your passion'll set you free and your
Fear is more like a prison
We're driven, living life
Hope I'm doing it right
Went through hell with a knife
Killed every demon in sight
I went through darkness of night to
Find the brightest of light
You're only dreaming at night
I turn my dream into life
We're letting go of who left
You never thought it was right

So many nights I pray for the day
I knew for my dream, I do whatever it takes
Now here I stand, no one in my way
And now I'm surrounded by
All that people say

But I will never
Change at all-all-all-all-all
I will never change at all-all-all-all
I will never change at all-all-all-all-all
I will never change at all-all-all-all
I will never change at all

Yeah, I could've never planned
My life like this i graduated
Got a job and still I chose
Just to write like this
You see the people need advice like this
Building something out of nothing
I ain't bluffing with a sight like this
I know I'm nice when I write, you're like
"I don't get"
A hater all over my Twitter like, "Mark
What's this?"
It takes intelligence to listen
Something I can't give
I flip the prespective
You see what I just did?
Do you get it? Now take a minute, no
It takes you a minute
To keep it real, I'm still broke
But got beautiful women
Who see me as an opportunity, not human
Was given an opportunity from no one ever
Who am I kidding fought for my vision
Built a team who all believe in my passion
I'm on my way out to LA, I wonder
"How did this happen?"
I turned my dream into a team
Who all believe in my rap
And you went from laughing to a
Picture where my lyrics are captioned
And honestly
I want this more than ever breathing
The people, they need a voice
I'm the voice of people believing
My family all believing
It's all in me to achieve it
Don't do it because we want it
We want it because we need it

So many nights I pray for the day
I knew for my dream, I do whatever it takes
Now here I stand, no one in my way
And now I'm surrounded by
All that people say

But I will never
Change at all-all-all-all-all
I will never change at all-all-all-all
I will never change at all-all-all-all-all




I will never change at all-all-all-all
I will never change at all

Verse 1: Witt Lowry

And every line that I never gave the time or attention
I'm learning my lesson, you looking for a mention, it's funny
What you would do for the approval of a room full of dummies
You think I made it?, but I'm stuck here serving burgers for money
Itโ€™s funny how Iโ€™m selling beef for you to want beef from me
My written turned into a vision, my vision a reality
My chips are on my dream and you seem to try to devalue me
Value me as less, I got no desk or a salary

Living my own reality, manifested my vision
Looking at the sky, thanked God for what I was given
Based on how I'm living, I'm wondering if I'll get it

We're driven, living life, hope I'm doing it right
Went through hell with a knife, killed every demon in sight
I went through darkness of night to find the brightest of light
You only dreaming at night, I turn my dream into life
