[Verse 1]
Growing up, parents got me a guitar
Said, "You can do anything, kid, you can go far
You can be the President, fireman, race cars
The sky's the limit, kid, so, shoot for the stars"
So, I strummed that guitar every day
Found a passion for music, never went away
I joined a couple bands and played a few shows
Tried to impress the girl in the front row
But soon enough everything starts to change
As you grow up, nobody treats you the same
They try take your future and make it real safe
You could be a doctor, accountant or something sane
But, yo, what ever happened to "The sky was the limit?"
I fell in love with music, never thought it was a gimmick
I worked so hard on every tune and every single lyric
My whole identity dependent on being artistic
Now you want to strip that away so you feel okay?
'Cause if I make it to the top, what does that really say?
That you shouldn't have given up, that you made the mistake
But if I fail you feel much better 'bout picking your lane, right?
[Chorus]
Yeah, things are gonna get better real soon
Yeah, I'ma just do me, you just do you
I swear, it's gonna get better real soon
Don't let anyone tell you what you should do
