Wasn't sure that I would ever see this day coming
Getting closer to the things that I've been working for and everything I ever wanted
I remember being down to nothing
When I ain't have a dollar to my name
I pushed to show myself that someday I'd amount to something
And that was when everything had to change
I couldn't bottle the pain, so I let it out
I found a way to express it
And stated it for the record
I couldn't do it the same, though I had my doubts
That anyone would respect it
Had fears of being rejected, but
That was at a different place, different time
Different set of circumstances, different state of mind
I realized that everything I faced had been aligned
And anything I lost for good was never really mine
Now I'm thinking 'bout my life on these Autumn nights
I know I gotta do it right, cause I can't do it twice
Out here thinking 'bout my life on these Autumn nights
I know I gotta do it right, cause I can't do it twice
Time passes and your dreams change
Like a movie when the scenes change
Same story, but a couple plot twists could make it seem strange
And real life could make you feel like you been seeing things
I know
Still not accustomed to this fate
Though the love is always good
I'm still adjusting to the hate
And for every shot I took
There was a chance I couldn't take
But I'll go crazy if I focus on the shots that I ain't make
And that's real
Still got some tables to turn
And still got some things I could learn
Cause I feel
There's nothing that I deserve
Cause you only get what you earn
Still feel the same fire I was feeling on my first day
Still tryna aim higher cause I want it in the worst way
Now I'm thinking 'bout my life on these Autumn nights
I know I gotta do it right, cause I can't do it twice
Out here thinking 'bout my life on these Autumn nights
I know I gotta do it right, cause I can't do it twice
