Soul Preservation - IVAN B

Yeah, I’m doing chin-ups on the bars you set

I feel like I’m the only one

I feel like no one saw it coming, not a single one

I hear you taking shots, pulling up a paper gun

These days, no one real, not a single one

Heart racing, on the run, killer beat, let her run

Yeah, they thought I would be done

Now they say I’m the one, but they keep it hundred

I school kids 101

I spend money on a chain, what you get it for?

Money hangs you by the neck, I bought into the metaphor

One in the morning, I’m like I gotta work a little more

Working in the bay so they can play me up in Ecuador

Small circle, but I know they all got me

Capture the moment, yeah, I swear to you I’m savvy

Why does everybody want to tell you, «Get a plan B»?

Don’t lose your soul just to make them all happy

You gotta get up if you wanna see the sunrise

Why you living like you got more than one life?

Imma run the game, never cared about a shoe size

Tell me how to live when you’re perfect in your own life

'Cause nobody’s out here to save you

Don’t let the world going change you

I wonder where my heart is if I’m never starving

Will I ever change?

God, please keep me guarded

If you want to make it, then you gotta make it work

If only you can see the pain living in my work

If you felt the mind state that I’m living in

Moved eight times, living room’s what I’m living in

Never said a thing, I’m just happy for the roof

Freestyles out the school like, yo, we got the juice

Now I hardly see you, man, far from the truth

Haven’t seen you in a year, but you choose what you choose, right

No matter where you find yourself, I wish you the best

But can you find happiness if no one’s left?

When you risk everything, what is really left?

It tears me apart, that we’re so far apart

I want to hit you up but I don’t know where to start

Finding the words like throwing darts in the dark

I guess growing pains when you’re growing apart, huh

You gotta get up if you want to see the sunrise

Why you living like you got more than one life?

Imma run the game, never cared about a shoe size

Tell me how to live when you’re perfect in your own life

'Cause nobody’s out here to save you

Don’t let the world going change you

'Cause nobody’s out here to save you

Stars can fall too, yeah, we see it all the time

Don’t lose your soul for the Hollywood sign

I’m scared of what I’m thinking

Man, I can’t really tell

Like, am I writing for the people or am I talking to myself?

Lost close friends that I thought I’d never lose

You gave me the confidence so now I’m confused

Did I do something different?

Am I somebody new?

When you’re willing to win, you gotta be willing to lose

So Imma chase dreams while you’re chasing a drink

Life has got me messed up, man, I don’t wanna think

My soul is on the edge and my heart’s on the brink

Success is an ocean and I don’t want to sink

Look at the price to be one of a kind

You don’t care who you lose, but yet you’re looking behind

You don’t know what you want until you’re all out of time

You won’t find your soul in those Hollywood signs

'Cause nobody’s out here to save you

Don’t let the world going change you
