By Now - Will Jay

I don’t talk to anyone from high school

Cause I dropped out freshman year

Signed a record deal

Then made an album

No one’s ever gonna hear

Now they’ve all graduated college

I’ve never left the studio

Memories of half my life are missing

I still haven’t written anything you know

But I’ll keep breaking my own heart

Finding ways to make it art

I’m still not where I wanna be

So what more do you want from me?

I should have been somebody

By now

I should have been somebody

By now

Not a damn thing has changed

Another year goes by

And no one knows my name

I should’ve been somebody

Since I was five I never stopped performing

Even when my dad got sick

I stayed behind, my family moved to Houston

One more fucking show I just couldn’t miss

I’ve sacrificed more than enough

And after everything I’ve done

I’m still not where I wanna be

So what more do you want from me?

I should have been somebody

By now

I should have been somebody

By now

Not a damn thing’s changed

Another year goes by

And no one knows my name

I should have been somebody

I could have been somebody
