It Could Be You
I've been schemin', I keep it on the low
I've been dreamin', no talk, it's time to go
The odds could be against you, but you'll never know
It could be you, it could be you, you know
I've been working every day all night
They don't know, then that's alright, that's alright
They could doubt you almost all your life
But it could be you, it could be you, you know
Life of the party was never part of my life
I wasn't invited to nothin', I always stood on the side
Fighting depression, suffocated by pride
Every morning wake up thanking God I'm alive
Waiting for my dreams to arrive
'Til I had to go for it, people told me don't floor it
I could never stop when there's more to it
Listen to this heartbeat, don't you love to hear it?
If you want to see the credit, beat is by God
That's why I wrote to it, yeah
Same me, always focused on the things that I can't be
Never talking to the mirror, 'cause it ain't me
I've been living in these bars just to break free
No sleep just work since I was eighteen
No drinks, no perc, got that buzz clean
I brought so many goals to life, so many thoughts to life
It's always like a family reunion when I daydream, yeah
All these checks
Countin' my balance just to keep my balance
If it's not with me in Heaven, what's there to be proud of?
Nobody here, but my head is so crowded
Nobody cares, 'cause the party has started
Hard to reach hearts we all heavily guarded
Top of the charts, always looking the farthest
I get down, I tell myself
It could be you, it could be you, you know
It could be you, it could be you, you know
It could be you
I've been schemin', I keep it on the low
I've been dreamin', no talk, it's time to go
The odds could be against you, but you'll never know
It could be you, it could be you, you know
I've been working every day all night
They don't know, then that's alright, that's alright
They could doubt you almost all your life
But it could be you, it could be you, you know
Pit in my stomach, I'm not the change in your pockets
So if you countin' me out, we know you don't keep it a hundred
I hate when they doubt me but secretly love it
'Cause they love to hate what I'm doin', then they hate that they love it
When you start from the bottom, you gotta rise above it
Blood drippin', the fangs comin', countin' wings, even Cupid's runnin'
Ballin', spur of the moment, I'm Tim Duncan, wanna know somethin'
What's a hundred songs a year if they don't even mean somethin', huh?
You get faith when you don't get what you prayed for
I feel safe when my life doesn't need to change more
Duct tape all my dots when I'm 'bouta break more
I'm a lot of things, but I always know I'm not sure
Always the sickest, I'm not cured
I'm the type to be grounded if I'm hittin' the top floor
This ain't a mockup, this the mock for
In ya head like I'm on tour
Come back even stronger, this the encore, yeah
Sometimes, I think I can't do this
I piece it together, what's left from the ruins
I dreamt of museums the moment I drew it
Believe in yourself, yeah, that's how you pursue it
My talent's so fluid, that's why I'm so fluent
To speak in the hearts who don't know how to do it
A slippery slope, but you gotta stick to it
A million just like you, but
It could be you, it could be you, you know
It could be you, it could be you, you know
It could be you
I've been schemin', I keep it on the low
I've been dreamin', no talk, it's time to go
The odds could be against you, but you'll never know
It could be you, it could be you, you know
I've been working every day all night
They don't know, then that's alright, that's alright
They could doubt you almost all your life
But it could be you, it could be you, you know
Can't you see that
It could be you?
Why not you?
Why not you?
Can't you see that
It could be you?
Why not you?
Why not you?
