Life has hit me hard, but I’m still standing
A bunch of doors closed on me, left me behind
They thought I was wasting time locked up in my room
I don’t judge them, I’ve doubted myself in the process too
Life’s a rollercoaster
There are highs, there are lows
And when you’re down there’s no excuse
You just gotta look up and face it

Wherever I go, God’s with me
And if He’s got my back, bring on a hundred with you
I’ve got my eyes set on the prize
My folks are proud of their son
And wherever I go, God’s with me
And if He’s got my back, bring on a hundred with you
I’ve got my eyes set on the prize
My folks are proud of their son

So many nights under the full moon
Wondering if I’m really gonna make it
Praying that it doesn’t turn into a curse
And that it’s the dream I promised my mom
I’m just a regular guy
But I’m hungry for success
I’m putting in double the work
So I can make it happen

I fear failure
Can’t stop thinking
About not being able to give mom that mansion
And here I am alone
I don’t know where those who were supposed to be here are
I’ve fallen in love
With solitude, it knows how to appreciate
I’ve got an angel

Who will guide me and never let me down
From here to the sky
The song will play and you’ll sing along
And well, God willing, I hope everything goes well
Wishing you tons of success
And I hope, man, that everything goes well for you
God willing, man
Keep being that great man, that great kid, that great guy you are
Always remember everyone
Especially your mother, keep her in mind
Everything she says and what she doesn’t
Man, and well, I hope everything goes really well for you
Wishing you tons of success at the start of your career, God willing

And wherever José goes, he’s with me
And if he’s got my back, bring on a hundred with you
I’ve got my eyes set on the prize
My folks are proud of their son
I truly believe in the saying that
The greater the effort, the greater the reward
That the toughest battles are for the best soldiers
And that everything happens for a reason, even if it’s hard to find the meaning
I’ve been writing this on the bus, on my way to the studio

A five-hour trip gives me plenty to think about
I assure you I dream more awake than asleep
It’s nights, nights and nights and nights with that 'Will I make it?'
Or the 'And if I make it, then what?'
The only thing left in this journey that started over two years ago
Is to work, work, and work
And always keeping God in mind
Because without Him, I’m nobody
This one’s got the VV stamp
Thanks.
