Who knows where this life will take ya
So much time chasing paper
Stay on ya grind ‘til you resign
Or meet your maker
I have faith in myself,
now and then it gets tested
But I can't quit now, 'cause of the time I've invested
Got a positive message but negativity's the norm
See when I perform, I make society conform
I’m tryin’ to be like Norm,
everybody scream my name
Putting on the mask so that nobody sees my pain
Humility when nobody comes to see your shows
I'm like "damn Joe, ain't I supposed to be a pro?"
My album release party was just a small gathering
Rocking arena's something I shouldn't be fathoming
Imagining success, like yo what's that look like?
Stuck on the runway, my career never took flight
Trying to get paid like Jay Z, Russell, and Suge Knight
You look like shook like you never thought I’d lived the good life

Don't give up
Don't give in
Don't fear failure

People try to derail ya ‘cause of their own failures
Without them you'll never make it
is what they try and tell ya
You don't see my cryin', all you do is see me shinin'
Everybody else changed, but I'm still the same old Brian
I don't like to take advice not because I'm hard headed
It's because I already knew it before you even said it
I do it my way, a lot of people can't accept that
I don't need 'em to, I just need for them to step back
Are you a help or a hindrance? Some don't know the difference
Each word in my sentences has its own significance
I choose 'em carefully, shout out to those that's been there for me
Poured out beer
Put it in the air, said a prayer for me
Believers and doubters, ironically, both inspire me
They help to ignite this fire that's inside of me
No, I can't give 'em all of the credit entirely
Known for being quiet now can't nobody silence me

Don't give up
Don't give in
Don't fear failure
Fear regret
Fear giving in
Don't fear failure
