[Verse 1: Kieran Geralde]
It's been four years after fourteen, coming from a teen age
The story closes onstage as you turn the last page
A new chapter opens in the book of your life
Anyone can write stories, but not everybody does it right
By writing how the plot thickens, people conflictin'
With an inner duel between good and bad
Sometimes it's good to be bad
As there's always room to remove any skeletons that you have
It all started with a fresh face, new race to gain traction
The second lap meant you were rising for action
Against climatic stress that buried you to sinking
One foot inside, the other out the door got me thinking
Why're you aging your mind before you're hitting your prime
Don't let them soil your lines, the wrinkles in time
A writer's block in the mind doesn't mean decline
Why live in the shadows when you could be dying to shine?
[Hook: NJ Chesnut]
We find ourselves
Looking at this moment, looking at this place
We Find ourselves
Looking to the future, and how we're gonna make it big
So how you gonna make it big, and how we're gonna make it big
So how you gonna make it big
[Verse 2: Kieran Geralde]
What high school moments truly mattered most?
Which people you know truly deserve your toast?
Before you make a cheer, you gotta look in the mirror
At all your imperfections, the solution gets clearer
It's not about the numbers or the money you could make
It's not about the grades, parades or any accolades
No single thing can break or define you
Only qualities quantify your total value
We're all grown up so we can be who we always dreamed
Not everyone needs the same path to succeed
Not everyone can move at the same pace
Not everyone needs someone to scream in their face
What everyone needs is emotional support
Cause even adults need love when the times get hard
In the end, success is up to your choice
Speak to grab attention and use your actions as a voice
[Hook: NJ Chesnut]
We find ourselves
Looking at this moment, looking at a place
We Find ourselves
Looking to the future, and how we're gonna make it big
So how you gonna make it big, and how we're gonna make it big
So how you gonna make it big
[Outro: Kieran]
First off I would like to thank my parents and my siblings for always being there for me
Same to my relatives and my friends here and there
Big shoutout to the band program for giving me the tools for success
Thanks to my mentors for guiding me and to the fellow students that sailed with me
Thanks to anyone listening to this song
Thanks to my idols like Kendrick and J Cole for inspiring me to be great
Anyone else I missed, Thank You
Born with a fresh mind into a world unknown
The caterpillar struggled to fit in as it grew up all alone
Then the chrysalis changed it all
The pupil's pa**age, It broke through every wall
Risen tall was a beautiful soul, not youth age
Yet it shriveled small since it didn't want to fly in the new stage
Making that little change puts the bu*terfly into Effect
That's the first step for anyone to Make It Big
