Worth It Lyrics

[Chorus]
All I know is pain, all I see is rain
Waiting for a change (Waiting for a change)
Everyday the same, chasing after fame
I should be ashamed
Tell me, is it all worth it?
Worth it, worth it, yeah (Is is all worth it?)
Tell me, is it all worth it?
Worth it, worth it, yeah (Is it all worth it?)

[Verse 1]
I can't make up my mind about what people are saying
When they're telling me that the music industry is shady
And that everyone controlling it is worshipping Satan
I just hope that what you're stating is a joke and you're just playing
But if I become famous, can I live a normal life?
Can I go to bed with a peace of mind every night?
Or will I become a product of my own self destruction?
Just another slave to the industry's corruption?
On top of that, not many people have made it
To the promised land of the fame that they're chasing
I hate wasting time on something I don't believe in
Especially on something that can take away my freedom
I'm questioning why I want this in the first place
If chasing fame is a sickness, then I've got the worst case of it
Am I naive for thinking I'm the exception
To these dream chasers who are lost in inception?
[Chorus]
All I know is pain, all I see is rain
Waiting for a change (Waiting for a change)
Everyday the same, chasing after fame
I should be ashamed
Tell me, is it all worth it?
Worth it, worth it, yeah (Is is all worth it?)
Tell me, is it all worth it?
Worth it, worth it, yeah (Is it all worth it?)

[Verse 2]
I'm losing sight of why I'm pursuing this dream
I know what they show is not what it seems
Then I think back to when I first started to rap
I knew I was good, but afraid that they would laugh
Then in twelfth grade I showed my skills in front of English class
Everybody loved it and I wished it didn't end so fast
Then I wrote songs that I wanted to hear Rapping helped my self-esteem and conquer my fears
Rapping helped me keep my head above water
I swear that these songs made me wiser and smarter
Thought my life was going well when I went to college
But mom got fired, went crazy and violent
Nothing worked out, like my actions lost purpose
That's when I knew I was losing my focus
Stressing out because I was drowning in bills
Secretly wishing that my mom would get killed
[Chorus]
All I know is pain, all I see is rain
Waiting for a change (Waiting for a change)
Everyday the same, chasing after fame
I should be ashamed
Tell me, is it all worth it?
Worth it, worth it, yeah (Is is all worth it?)
Tell me, is it all worth it?
Worth it, worth it, yeah (Is it all worth it?)

[Verse 3]
I don't want to be famous but I want to be known
As the kid who puts in work and is making it on his own
I know it's not my time, so I'm watching the throne
I'm doing this for people who are feeling alone
And everybody else who knows they're meant for something
Forget all of the haters who will amount to nothing
I know it sounds cliché but I do this for hip-hop
Go after what you want, keep going and don't stop
Live for the pursuit of happiness
You won't regret it if you're going after it
I'm not doing this to get material things
I don't care about nice cars and fancy rings
I just want to make music people feel
While spreading the message to keep it real
Now that I am serious, I'm obligated
To be the voice of the dreamers through the songs I created
[Chorus]
All I know is pain, all I see is rain
Waiting for a change (Waiting for a change)
Everyday the same, chasing after fame
I should be ashamed
Tell me, is it all worth it?
Worth it, worth it, yeah (Is is all worth it?)
Tell me, is it all worth it?
Worth it, worth it, yeah (Is it all worth it?)
