We put these lines in front of these kids Just to sell, cause that's the biz But we're their world, we're what they live For our words, we make our hits Sold these shows, we've cashed these checks We've killed this art, we've made this mess Where's the soul, the love and the tears That wrote these rhymes that we used to hear
What if I make it? What if I've come too far from home? What if I fake it? How will I ever even know? How will I ever even know?
I'm over the fame, I'm nobody's muse Who will convict me, we made new rules My conscience is pressing, I'm left guessing This is nonsense, I need to address it So here I sit, I try to write again, Fall off my lips, my words, in unison I contemplate what they might produce I risk my pride and truth by what we sing to
What if I make it? What if I've come too far from home? What if I fake it? How will I ever even know?
What if I make it? What if I've come too far from home? What if I fake it? How will I ever even know?
And when the lights finally fall, and I stand alone barely breathing What will my chest have to say about all the things that I've done I hope that I can reflect on my mark on this map through the seasons And see some good in the tracks that I have left on this world
What if I make it? What if I've come too far from home? What if I fake it? How will I ever even know? How will I ever even know?
