I swear
If I had a dollar for every time I was told that I was losing myself
My debts would pay for themselves
And I would be a baller
Oh yeah, I'd be the king
Spend a million dollars on the stone in a ring
Cause when I was a young boy
I remember momma telling me that I could be anything
I forgot that young boy
With stars in his eyes
And a reason to sing
But now
I open my eyes and I'm smiling
I've never seen this side of me
Each breath that I take feels like living
Like I finally got my wings
I want you to know that I'll live now every day
Chasing after dreams
Straight to the sky
With both arms held high
Ain't nothing stopping me
If I had a dollar for every time I was told I only cared for myself
I'd buy a house for myself
Where I'd call the shots
Oh yeah, I could do as I please
Give my girl what she wants
I'd be making her scream
Cause now that I'm a grown man
I could do or not do
Oh yeah, I could do anything
Got my life into my own hands
Now there stars in my eyes
And a reason to sing
So now
I open my eyes and I'm smiling
I've never seen this side of me
Each breath that I take feels like living
Like I finally got my wings
I want you to know that I'll live now every day
Chasing after dreams
Straight to the sky
With both arms held high
Ain't nothing stopping me
