My worth is like a treasure people train to take
The y try to eat from off my plate while I been sayin' grace
Ain't it a shame that people never really stay the same
It's ironic that the dollars seem to make 'em change
I think it's funny people tryin' to compare lives
And it's the ones that wanna strike me in my spare time
I've been keepin' to myself and they don't care why
They just wanna check my baggage like an airline
Cause people hate when you achieve what they could never reach
The jealousy and deceit don't have a remedy
I got some people, I'll be leaving with the memories
And I'll be keepin' those that really want the best for me
But I think the jig is up
My heart just ain't big enough
People keep on switchin' up
You should find a different crutch
I've been in the cave alone
Mind is far away from home
Play your cards, and pray I fold
I know the way it goes
I've had people come and go
Walked these streets all on my own
All I really seem to know
Is life goes on
I've had my ups and had my downs
Picked myself from off the ground
I've had nobody around
But life goes on
Yeah, it does and it's a blessin' and a curse
People wishin' me the best, but then be prayin' for the worst
I have learned that there are few that I can trust upon the Earth
And I won't let another person get to tell me what I'm worth
Yeah, and I refuse to be a scapegoat
People see it's pourin', wanna use my as a raincoat
All the weight I'm carryin', I'm bout to hit the payload
A lot of people gettin' let down if I break though
But I guess I'm the one that asked for it
I'm the one that's prayin' for the road that I am travellin'
I'm the one that stayed inside the car when I was crashin' it
So I'm the one that's stayin' here to patch up all damages
I've been tellin' myself that I am so strong
Blockin' off the hate cause I'm focused, my mind is closed off
And just to get it through to you, I had to write a slow song
To tell you at the end of the day, life goes on
I've had people come and go
Walked these streets all on my own
And all I really seem to know
Is life goes on
I've had my ups and had my downs
Picked myself from off the ground
I've had nobody around
But life goes on
I'm alive, but I feel like fallin'
Step aside cause I'm goin' all in
I have tried deny my callin'
I know what was meant for me
I'm alive, but I feel like fallin'
Step aside cause I'm goin' all in
I have tried deny my callin'
I will find my destiny
I've had people come and go
Walked these streets all on my own
And all I really seem to know
Is life goes on
I've had my ups and had my downs
Picked myself from off the ground
I've had nobody around
But life goes on
