[Chorus] Looking around for hope somewhere in this life I'm losing grip of who I am in all these battles I fight Don't know what's soon to come of me To have it all or nothing As I travel down this path of life to become something If I only could be an influence to somebody If I only could change the world like Big Sean has taught me If I only could If I only could If I only could Then I would [Verse 1] I would like to become something greater than I am now Whether through computer science or my musical sound To be an influence unto others would satisfy me To be remembered here on Earth would delight me Not seeking fame but that life in ways is appealing to me For me to make it there seems impossible to be But, I should not have doubt, or think so pessimistically Just keep on shining, keep on writing, then someone will see How far I've came on my journey and help me go further And make it on the XXL Freshman cover Gaining supporters, and fans along the way Then record labels catch on to the buzz I create But it's all like a fantasy to me Or maybe a wish, or maybe a dream If it were to be a true reality I would fall into a state of disbelief Which wouldn't last long That means I keep on Continue being true and real in my songs Until then I'm [Chorus] Looking around for hope somewhere in this life I'm losing grip of who I am in all these battles I fight Don't know what's soon to come of me To have it all or nothing As I travel down this path of life to become something If I only could be an influence to somebody If I only could change the world like Big Sean has taught me If I only could If I only could If I only could Then I would [Verse 2] Now if you have a dream, make sure you commit to it Because it could easily slip away for you to lose it Plant it deep in your heart and let it grow with you Strategize what you'll do to make it come true Disregard anyone who tells you that you won't succeed Let their words push you closer to the life you seek Keep yourself always going after something better Trust yourself, love yourself, through all you may endeavor Life won't be a simple road for you to travel down But, know what you must do when those obstructions come around Make decisions which you feel are best in any moment And when that chance comes your way, go and own it For it may never come around again Plus it could be everything you really wanted To bring bliss or satisfaction Along with all the wants and desires you imagine So dream big, my friends, and do what you've got to do And all you wish to have will one day be possible Don't give up on your dreams [Chorus] Looking around for hope somewhere in this life I'm losing grip of who I am in all these battles I fight Don't know what's soon to come of me To have it all or nothing As I travel down this path of life to become something If I only could be an influence to somebody If I only could change the world like Big Sean has taught me If I only could If I only could If I only could Then I would
