Persevere ft. Tone Jonez Lyrics

This is not, how the story ends

Keep the faith, persevere my friend

This is not, how your story ends

Soon the sun, it will shine again

I been through a lot of things homie

I been through a lot of things

I been through it, I been through it

I just wanted you to like me so much

That I created a monster, I was a

Young man

Tried to keep my head up, I had no plan

I see that I only have one chance

All I know is, what

I got to, persevere

I ain't ever scared, I ain't ever petrified of death

Even if I had been told I had a minute left

You'd find me with a smile

Pounding on my chest

I'd take a bullet for my people, I don't want y'all to be next I swear

I've made mistakes and I paid

But I've promised to be loyal from the cradle to the grave

When you look into my eyes

You can see I bottle pain

If you told me all your problems I would take them all the way cause I love you

I don't need to mention names you know who you are

My circle is like a grain of sand, small

I can count on one hand, y'all

The only reason I'm still breathing

Believe me I feel Jesus

He's tugging on my shirt, is it my time to go

The lights at the end of the bed, so I don't know

If you don't see me in the morning

Just know I went with a smile on my face and I'm peaceful so

This is not, how the story ends

Keep the faith, persevere my friend

This is not, how your story ends, story ends

Soon the sun, it will shine again

If I disappear tonight, would you try to find me

Would you try to open every door that closed behind me

Please forgive me I'm just tryna find my silver lining

Yeah I failed a couple times, no need to remind me

It just occurred that no one's talking

It's the demon in my head that got me walking off the edge

And if I jump then I may never take a breath again

I guess it ends for everybody doesn't it

The timing just depends

I repent all my sins

I begin to descend

Into the darkness again

Oh man, God got a plan don't he

I stuck it out for what seem to be like a good amount a time

You probably think that I'd wanna rewind but nope

I thought my rhymes were dope

I thought after a couple albums I would shine and glow

But selfish of me to think

I was destined to blow

Though the sudden impact hit me more like a punch than a poke

Which ultimately sent me downward a familiar slope, so

I been through a lot of things homie

I been through a lot of things

I been through it, I been through it

I just wanted you to like me so much

That I created a monster, I was a

Young man

Tried to keep my head up, I had no plan

I see that I only have one chance

All I know is (What)

I got to, persevere

While I'm still here

And I won't

Let em kill my dream

I dare em to try

Cause I have all I need here chilling in the palm of my hand

Plus I know God has a plan

So for him I stretch my hands

Lord knows that I'm coming to the other side

Gotta stay strong, I don't wanna cry

I'm sorry, I couldn't find another high

I hope that you know I tried

I hope that you know I tried, for you

Everybody wants to be something now a days

So I'ma be the one to tell them, to tell them

It's fine to be unique

Be you, and don't be

Ashamed
