Abstract (Rapper) - I Do This lyrics

[Hook: RoZe] I do this for my Father Who've I've only seen From time to time In my dreams I do this for, you I do this for my Mother Who's finally clean And no longer a feen I do this for, you I do this for my Sister My Wife and my Kids Cause they part of the team I do this for all the naysayers And haters who made me one of the greatest I know it k**s you inside That's why I do this for you [x2] [Verse 1: Abstract] I do this for the kids Who sit a bit outside the mix Who maybe cope through humor Just to fit in for a bit Who never let the world know When depressions setting in To all of those who know you That impression don't exist And it ain't counterfeit It's just a way to counter it I'm living things I dreamed about I still encounter it It ain't something that a cigarette Or alcohol can fix But all because of it I flipped it quick Went on to write some hits This a success Off another breath This the first step in Searching to be nothing less Than be the best in what you do To prove there's strength in being you Learned so much in chasing dreams That I never would in school Depends on where your pa**ion lie Just know pa**ion never lie Life presents distractions But your actions have to fortify The things that you believe in Have to scream it like a battle cry And leave the ones who didn't Lookin' stupid while they're asking why Couldn't lie I really do this for the ones I love Those who treat the music as a vice And lyrics like a drug Those who need advice On how to lift their spirit high enough To break out of the box they make of lives They know aren't good enough Just because it's how it is Don't mean it's how it has to be This is what the uninspired Testifiers fail to see Jealousy results from being That which others failed to be And if it means you're not with me That honestly sounds fair to me [Hook] [Verse 2: Abstract] Do this for my Mother She'll be working for the summer Do this for my Father Cause these days I often wonder What my life would have been like If I was not adopted To grow up in a home where I was treated like a problem I don't know it's just a guess Your guess probably good as mine Lucky that I grew up in a home That wanted me to shine Lucky that I grew up Round some mountain We were taught to climb Without that inspiration I don't think that this Would be my life Do this for my friends Who've scattered all cross the country now I'm out in Sweden walking back through life So I can write it down Make a living off of sound So crazy to say out loud I'm the biggest thing since Travis Rice To come up out the town Sorry gotta stunt a little Used to have my dreams belittled But it's all a part of it I know people's mind are fickle Lines between reality and dreams I blurr like faded nights Come up been so good for me I wish that I could make it twice [Hook]
