lyrics

Ready player one hit the start button
Jump up in game building my own lane no one left the car running Blood that's in my veins numb me to the pain
As long as my heart's pumping I just keep the bars coming
All my evenings star studded I feel out of place
But am I really far from it up in outer space
I’m just tryna start something want more than a taste
Took my foot up off the brakes
Try & keep up with my pace in this race

Look up in the the skies close your eyes go inside
I was 18 when I died woke up on the otherside
Say goodbye to my family & friends til the day we meet again I won't stop until these losses turn to wins

Good ain't good enough I can't go out I'm cooking up
Been so down no looking up told the plug to hook it up Disappeared watched these minutes turn to years persevered
I thank god for all the fears we made these diamonds out of tears

Ready player one hit the start button
Jump up in game building my own lane no one left the car running Blood that's in my veins numb me to the pain
As long as my heart's pumping I just keep the bars coming
All my evenings star studded I feel out of place
But am I really far from it up in outer space
I ain't tryna start nothing I just want a taste
Let me learn from my mistakes
Lord its hard to keep the faith say your grace

Looking in the mirror see a stranger staring back
I found myself so lost didn't even care where I was at Couldn't see no future never would I think I'd make it black
I took another hit of jack and watched the faces fade to black

Rose up from that lower level heard the devil call my name Super soldier with a shovel taught to shoot before I aim
today I'm digging through the rubble for survivors of the struggle It’s an awful lot to juggle trying to make it out the jungle

Good ain't good enough can't go out I'm cooking up i been so down I'm looking up told the plug to hook it up i disappeared watched these minutes turn to years persevered i thank god for all the fears we made these diamonds out of tears

Ready player one hit the start button
Jump up in game building my own lane no one left the car running Blood that's in my veins numb me to the pain
As long as my heart's pumping I just keep the bars coming
All my evenings star studded I feel out of place
But am I really far from it up in outer space
I’m just tryna start something want more than a taste
Took my foot up off the brakes
Try & keep up with my pace in this race
