Only time will tell the truth   I'm living proof of what could happen to a man   When he decides to stand strong   Some of them swim, some of them drown in their sorrows   We're living to die and I'd die to live again tomorrow   But let me tell you about the time I was just a teen   Yas & Bobby you said it was just a dream   My life's a circus I serve no purpose   Now when you hear my name you get nervous   You see it wasn't just a fantasy   'Cause music is my life and I cherish it like family   So now I'm chasing dreams, facing obstacles   Racing against the clock like it was impossible   Somebody's watching over me like a guardian angel   I'm on the outside watching my life untangle   Watching my life climb to new heights   Still waiting for the day I see my name in lights      Chorus   Tell 'em once tell 'em twice   Only time will tell   Some go up, some go down and some never fell   Win or lose make a move, if you got the guts   So why's everybody always screaming life sucks      Verse 2   Only if I knew what made you hopeless   When time stands still I just sit back and focus   I hold a mic on stage, I hold a pen to the page   And then I write like I was trapped in a cage   But wait a minute 'cause it's not the end   I call few people enemies and fewer people friends   And a lot of people like to think they were down from the start   You played your games you broke my heart   You broke my heart into pieces   You showed me who the beast is   Yeah I trust you about as far as my hand reaches   Sticking to me like leaches and holding me tight   I went from deep sleep to sleepless nights   I can't take it, I got to make it my passion   Dedicated to all the ones who were laughing   Take these words home and think it through   'Cause the next song I write might be about you      Chorus (3X)      Only time will tell why people try and drag you down   They never make a noise and they never make a sound   Only time will tell if these people really want you   Maybe one day it'll come back to haunt you   Only time will tell what's the price for being famous   Some die with a name, some die nameless   Only time will tell when you make a mistake   Hold on to your life before it's too late      Chorus (2X)
