She Walks This Earth - Lee Ritenour, Ivan Lins

They told me no but I rebelled

So much anger that I held

Always screaming inside this mic until my vocal chords swelled

I wrote down all I’ve withheld

But I regret what I spilled

See everybody has a story, be leave no story to tell

I’m drifting, living, giving everything I got for a message

To the girl at the bar, trying to forget what she felt

How another round of shots will never swallow the guilt

That no gal will bring you happiness, you find that yourself

Writing these phrases and lines for that one kid who’s behind

Who’s been taking orders for customers that have been waiting in line

Taking shit from his boss but he thinks he’s doing just fine

Don’t you think your life is more than just dollars and fries?

Every single person I know could be so much more than a check

So much more than a grade

So much more than a test

I stress, been trying to run with the best

I feel the weight on my chest

School got me going in debt

Don’t want to live to exist

And yeah, I’m torn to write what’s real and what sells

How it’s about to be but not the story it entails

And I’m done with all the doubts, tryna be the biggest figure

In this life it’s more than me, that’s why it’s called the bigger picture

Every blog, network, label they don’t believe in my endeavor

The day you want to handshake, I’d be glad to give a finger

Put this love to anybody with doubts me, I got my team, we stand proudly

Myself is what I’ve been finding

Left all my demons behind me

Change the world like the climate

If there’s a way, I’ma find it

It’s up to you to stand by it

I’ll be the voice for the silent

Get your dream;

hold your breath and just jump

It’s your life, you got one

So don’t be scared what’s to come

Not many realize what the value of a moment is

The value of your breath is what you think it is

And I can feel it every second, I know that it’s getting closer every night,

it’s getting harder so my mind keeps rolling over

I’m over just being patient and just blaming everything

Lately losing sight of who I truly wanna be

Or is it my heart is showing what I really wanna see

See, I don’t know if it’s me that’s talking or if it’s just the fatigue

Or maybe I’ve been losing my mind right now

Tell me where’d it go (x2)

Cause I don’t know where I stand right now

And when my heart turns cold

And when there’s nothing left to save

And if I lose my brain

Would you walk with me?

Now everybody is a rapper

But got no message to give

Everybody wants more, but when will you give?

See I’m searchin' and learnin', but feelin' lost from within

I put this faith into God but it’s just been silence from Him

Barely affording these bills

Literally about to give in

You’re valued by your wealth, that’s just the world we live in

Live a life around a dollar and it doesn’t make sense

Cause it’s money runs the world but these problems aren’t paper-thin

I’m laying on my bed, thinking what’s it’s like to be dead

Tell me is it better over there or is just all in my head

You see this life is a blessing, impressions make it a mess

We idolize possessions just so you could stick out your chest

Not tryna' tell you how to live, convince you how to be

I’m writing vivid descriptions of all the shit I gotta see

Doubted before I started

Even now up on the scene

I wear my heart up on my sleeves

Just so you could know… me

But you know just as much as I do

Chase what you love, or let failure define you

The past is always behind you

But it’s your choice to let go

Crazy to think that yesterday could have so much control

But whether I weather this weather or lever down in my grave

I look down at the stars

Look at how far we’ve came

When the world feels like it’s sinking, it’s okay to feel drained

Been hungered for recognition till there’s nothin' to save

Or maybe I’ve been losing my mind right now

Tell me where’d it go (x2)

Cause I don’t know where I stand right now

And when my heart turns cold

And when there’s nothing left to save

And if I lose my brain

Would you walk with me?

Or maybe I’ve been losing my mind right now

Tell me where’d it go (x2)

Cause I don’t know where I stand right now

And when my heart turns cold

And when there’s nothing left to save

And if I lose my brain

Would you walk with me?

Would you walk with me?

If I lost my way?

Would you walk with me?
