Wouldn't That Be Nice

Let me tell you what exactly I’m thinking
I’m on the spot bravery’s shrinking
All of my thoughts are gone this ship is sinking
I got eyes with anxiety just let that sink in
Let’s go batters up I’m onto panicking
Block my eyes with my hat I’m on that again
Calm myself down I’m as still as a mannequin
It’s not with y’all it’s my nerves that I’m battling
YEAH see I came up in a dangerous place
I’m not talking guns I mean a dangerous place
I’m talking about mentalities sake
You don’t know my struggle of getting onstage
See I grew up being told: greatness is fake
Don’t get on stage don’t rap it’s a phase
Don’t try to eat off rap you won’t get the taste
And here I’m still rappin with non on my PLATE
But as much as I tried it all stayed in my mind
It grew and it worsened somewhere inside
Get good complements and I put them aside
You wanna go and call me crazy? Go ahead get in line
Now to cope with the feelings a verse to suffice
And yeah I said feelings it’s no sense of pride
Being accepted I want that prize
And if they accepted my music wouldn’t that be nice
If they fucked with my music wouldn’t that be nice, if they went and saw my vision wouldn’t that be nice
If I could get by, cuz the song played twice,I was big in life, wouldn’t that be nice
If they chanted to my music wouldn’t that be nice
Wouldn’t that be nice? Wouldn’t that be nice
If they nodded to this song wouldn’t that be nice
I see it in my head and it looks so nice
let me tell you what’s the meaning of brave
It’s not a person that’s never afraid
It’s not about someone that don’t need an escape
It’s not someone like me with the crowds I evade
It’s much bigger than that it’s about grabbing that fear
Knowing you’re scared to point of your tears
Then you use that same fear, make em all hear
All the bullshit you gone thru, the reason you’re here
The mountains you climbed, saying you’re fine
Talking about peace you know you’d never find
Being so god damn tired but keeping your spine
Knowing all you got is you to keep you from crying
Cuz at the end of the day all you got is yourself
But it’s in that time that new things are felt
Like being in heaven or being in hell
I tried it once and it didn’t go well
Now I sit down with the pad write a rhyme
Lie and tell myself I’m in my prime
Just keep on writing ignoring the signs
The ones that tell me not all the gold shines
So I keep it going and keep up the grind
Treat it like religion- follow it blind
Hoping that people join in in the time
But hopes all I got now it’s all up to time
If they fucked with my music wouldn’t that be nice, if they went and saw my vision wouldn’t that be nice
If I could get by, cuz the song played twice,I was big in life, wouldn’t that be nice
If they chanted to my music wouldn’t that be nice
Wouldn’t that be nice? Wouldn’t that be nice
If they nodded to this song wouldn’t that be nice
When I see it in my head god damn looks nice
Something happened the other day I had a dream
It was April the 10th and uneasy scene
I was backstage all I heard were some screams
We were performing and next up was me
I got the heads up they said you’re up in five
I started shaking I panicked inside
I couldn’t talk vocal cords tied
I was all over and tied up inside
I tried and I tried, to get me on hype
But nothing was working with all that I tried
Like I got my confidence and put out to dry
Told me to chill but I wouldn’t pry
Then I told myself let’s get over the fear
Locked myself in the bathroom and talked to the mirror
Loud but enough so no one could hear
It kind sounded like this right here
C'mon Marco it’s your chance to rebuttal
This is your chance to get out of the struggle
This is your chance man this is your chance man
Get out of the dirt and get out of this puddle
Do it for fam for the crew for your sake
Let’s go show these people just what they made
Then everything blacked out everything blanked
Next thing I knew I was up on the stage
If they fucked with my music wouldn’t that be nice, if they went and saw my vision wouldn’t that be nice
If I could get by, cuz the song played twice,I was big in life, wouldn’t that be nice
If they chanted to my music wouldn’t that be nice
Wouldn’t that be nice? Wouldn’t that be nice
If they nodded to this song wouldn’t that be nice
I see it in my head god damn looks nice
If they fucked with my music wouldn’t that be nice, if they went and saw my vision wouldn’t that be nice
If I could get by, cuz the song played twice,I was big in life, wouldn’t that be nice
If they chanted to my music wouldn’t that be nice
Wouldn’t that be nice? Wouldn’t that be nice
If they nodded to this song wouldn’t that be nice
I see it in my head god damn looks nice
