Kevin Peterson - Speechless lyrics
[Verse 1: Justin Stone] If I'm so wrong should I write Wanting more of this life I've looked in mirrors to find myself But I'm still searching for light Temporary happiness is what I found I'm in But screw that life I'll break that normal way They told me to live They told me get a degree I told 'em give me a chance Yeah they were laughing at my dreams But that's apart of my plan Cause first they hate you, then they love you Now I'm all they demand I owe it to all of my critics, everything that I am Yeah, my dream is simple, be a voice to the unheard And change the game with every lyric wrote and every word In a industry, looking more like politics Used to hearing teachers say, I was just a problem kid The kid with ADD that somehow made it by Used to never speak my mind, now I let my lyrics fly Yeah, I'm aiming for the top, cause they said I wouldn't reach it I was raised inside that pulpit So of course they yellin' preach it I was, a pastor's kid, that hated the label I had Every single person I met compared me to Dad People always tried to find the worst in me Life under the magnifying gla** wasn't meant for me Cause I have made some mistakes but know that I did And I've been rethinking life and everything that I lived There's more to life than a 9-5 I get married then I die I've got too much potential to be content with getting by While you worried about a social life I just got my focus right, locked inside my room Dreams I had at 14 came to life Always wanted this I'm craving for this feeling of being something that they want, someone that's appealing I hate the mirror it reminds me everything I'm not They say I've got it all but what's it all if I am lost [Hook: Justin Stone] Imma open up, let me paint a picture If I had a thousand words I promise I could leave you speechless, yeah This is all that I have This is all that I want This is all that I have This is all that I want, yeah I told you all, I told you all I'd take it over, now you know that we are I told you all, I told you all I'd take it over, now you know that we are [Verse 2: Justin Stone] I'm lying I said opinions never get to me Heart and soul in this and everything left in between I'm just a different breed a living breathing symphony Cause I got all this music in my chest so I just let it leak I'm gaining confidence and working harder than my peers While they drown in student debt I'll just embrace my fears I won't fall into the system I got things to do I know I was never perfect but that is the same for you I've been depressed and I want you to know My faith has faded lately I've just been feeling alone So pray for me, still I'm patiently waiting for the day That the world will finally listen and everyone knows my name Yeah, I've been in that crowd been that kid with a dream I see these kids from the stage looking right up to me I told 'em look what happened I said I would turn my vision into hype Buzzing now I could k** the game and bring it back to life I know I was put on Earth for a reason I don't got it figured out, but I still know I'm believing I got problems, I got issues, I got skeletons in closets I've been trynna hide for years right behind a broken promise Losing trust for some friends who say they want the best But when I turn my back they try to end all my success I made a label by myself built a fanbase by myself When they ask if I need help I'll tell 'em I don't need it I've had my mind set on this since I was 17 Rep the Noise Unheard now everybody heard of me Looking back, I'm thanking God for my critics One's doubting me today; will want the life that I'm living Everybody's got a story, I've just got the guts to share it now Rising to the top and I hope I'm never comin' down [Hook: Justin Stone] Imma open up, let me paint a picture If I had a thousand words I promise I could leave you speechless, yeah
