As Coisas Vão Melhorar

Growing up, my parents gave me a guitar
Said: You can do anything, boy, you can go far
You can be president of the fire racing cars
The sky's the limit, boy, so shoot for the stars

So I ripped this guitar up everyday
I found a passion for music that never went away
I joined a few bands and played a few shows
I tried to impress the girl in the front row

But soon everything starts to change
As you grow up, nobody treats you the same anymore
They try to make your future and make it safer
You could be a doctor, accountant or something sane
But, ow
Whatever happened to the saying that the sky is the limit?
I fell in love with music and I never thought it was just a trick
I worked so hard on every song and every lyric
My whole identity depending on being artistic

Now you want me to take this away?
So you feel good?
Because if I make it to the top, what does that really say?
That you shouldn't have given up, that you made a mistake
But if I fail, you feel so much better for the path you took

Yes, things are going to get better soon.
Yes, I take care of myself, you take care of yourself
I swear it will get better soon
Don't let anyone tell you what to do.

I have a clear vision
we are doing it soon
just keep pushing
Yes, what have you got to lose?
Yes, what have you got to lose?
Yes, what have you got to lose?
just keep pushing
Because what do you have to lose?

Will not give up
I will not go back
Till I'm lying 6 feet under the ground
Will not give up
I will not go back
Cause no one will stop me except for me now

And let's be honest, life is a competition
So if I'm going to have to play then I'm going to play to win
I refuse to sit and rot at a table all day
Unless I love what I do, I will work to be okay.

I'd rather be dead on the outside than on the inside
A bullet in the head than 25 of life
In a cubicle alone, just trying to get by
Building someone else's dream instead of building mine

If you're listening to me, this is to inspire
If you have a dream or if you have your wishes
A girl in your life making you feel that fire
Go fight for her man, go die for her man

'Cause you only get one life, one chance to make it
A chance to prove it to yourself, don't miss it
You got that fan, just keep at it
One day you'll look back so glad you chased her

You won't stop me now
Because I understand it now
I got the formula and I'm about to shout it out loud
So what are we talking about
There are no conversations now
We act with passion
We are moving now

It's tick-tock now
the clocks ticking
And all I hear is haters try so hard to bring me down
But they can't stop the sound
Already on the floor
Everything is growing faster than I can count
