Stanley Pozner - Come Alive

Polishing my swords with a wet-stone
I've been working overtime for so many days
Tryna show the world what I'm on about
Dreaming when I get there I'll be well paid
Everybody's telling me, I should have gratitude
That it's not your lifestyle it's your attitude
I hear them say it but you know that its hard
When you're grinding through the weeks, and the days don't feel new
I've gotta run this like a marathon
I hear the ring of my alarm
I'm waking up before the dawn and it's still dark out
Working smarter than the next guy
I haven't even started now
I'm seeing stars up against a green screen
I must be seeing things, looking at my schedule there's no time for me
Choose your circle carefully, keep your friends close
Cuz you're gonna need a sail when the wind blows

Are you sure this is what you wanted?
Doing everything on your own
When I wake up in the morning
Wish I could sleep in, but I've got to go
Nothing can shake my confidence
I've got the fire, see it in my eyes
No longer wishy washy or on the fence
I've come alive and I want it all, dog
La la la la la la la la la, Oooooooh
La la la la la la la la la la, Aaah, Oooh
La la la la la la la la la, Oooooooh
La la la la la la la la la la

Walking in midair on a balance beam
Between practicality and this artist dream
Gotta pay the bills - that's how it's always been
Don't come to me with negativity I've got no time for it
My buddy said you gotta shoot for it
Make moves towards goals that are achievable, learn more
Mom said "Do it for the love son"
Dad said "Make it make sense, you're not the only one"
But I've got to be patient and focused
And shift from these feelings of hopelessness
Think of who could be changed once they notice too
Break from out of these chains and this closed worldview
I've got this strategy mapped out 'bout to get the cash now
Askin' what my brands about, simple answer: strong and proud
Never ever watered down, always earning hella clout, y'all sing along now

Are you sure this is what you wanted?
Doing everything on your own
When I wake up in the morning
Wish I could sleep in, but I've got to go
Nothing can shake my confidence
I've got the fire, see it in my eyes
No longer wishy washy or on the fence
I've come alive and I want it all, dog
La la la la la la la la la, Oooooooo
La la la la la la la la la la, Aaah, Oooh
La la la la la la la la la, Oooooooo
La la la la la la la la la la, Aah, Ooh
