[ Featuring Duffy Sylvander ]
We always say don't talk about it, be about it
But don't tell me what you believe; show me action
They want to see me fall, so they laugh at my dreams
Keep your eyes on the prize, and it'll be OK
Let them haters talk; they don't see what I see
I know it's hard, but oh, you got to believe
Why do all the good girls fall in love with bad guys?
You know the answer because we make 'em feel alive
Momma told you, 'Stay away from his type'
But you see them cigarettes and motorbikes and something in you ignites
From thugs to cowboys, something in you excites
She's enticed by the drunken sex and wild nights
All of it's intoxicating
All of it is liberating
Closest thing to God or he's the closest thing to Satan
Believe
They want to see me fall, so they laugh at my dreams
Keep your eyes on the prize and it'll be OK
Let them haters talk; they don't see what I see
I know it's hard, but oh, you got to believe
We're a train wreck together
But we can't be apart
It's a cruel fate, 'cause either way we break each other hearts
I said I'd hurt the man who would ever hurt you
I kill myself daily for the things that I've done to you
The pleasure, the pain, the make-up sex after the fight
I promised you the world, but I can't give you the night
My momma told you to leave; 'Girl, he'll never do right'
But my heart is your home
And my plight is your plight
You believe my lies
You know the story in my eyes
The only woman to see me cry, you know my whys
You've seen all the good, the bad, but won't leave
When the world wrote me off, you believed, you believed
When you look in my eyes, tell me, what do you see?
I put in the work to be the man I could be
Just give it some time and they'll see who I am
From the bottom to the top, it's all part of the plan
They want to see me fall, so they laugh at my dreams
Keep your eyes on the prize and it'll be OK
Let them haters talk; they don't see what I see
I know it's hard, but oh, you got to believe
Thoughts turn to dreams and dreams reality
Faith has to trust in what it can't see
Hope must be fulfilled, a cup you must drink
For it to manifest you must first believe
Thoughts turn to dreams and dreams reality
Faith has to trust in what it can't see
Hope must be fulfilled, a cup you must drink
For it to manifest you must first believe
When you look in my eyes, tell me what do you see?
I put in the work to be the man I could be
Just give it some time and they'll see who I am
From the bottom to the top, it's all part of the plan
Thoughts turn to dreams and dreams reality
Faith has to trust in what it can't see
Hope must be fulfilled, a cup you must drink
For it to manifest you must first believe
