| Since birth I was set up to lose
|
| Always had a chip on my shoulder or something to prove
|
| Did whatever we could do to try to get through life
|
| My momma worked three jobsjust to keep on the lights
|
| And look, that’s why I don’t wanna let her down
|
| Cause she did too much to give me everything I have now
|
| What would have happened if my father never left?
|
| On second thought, I guess it’s probably for the best
|
| You can’t imagine all the things that I’ve seen
|
| But what’s court side if you’venever sat in the nosebleeds
|
| What good is my dream if it only remains my dream?
|
| Tryna turn a black and white TV into a flat screen
|
| Yeah, I guess I’m being optimistic
|
| But I couldn’t do it without dreaming I already did it
|
| And I’m the only one who saysif I can
|
| I won’t stop until the whole world knows who I amThey say what you can’t do
|
| Hate you until they all love you
|
| They set you up to lose
|
| But I’m tryna make my dreamscome true
|
| From West Virginia to worldwide (to worldwide)
|
| From West Virginia to worldwide (to worldwide) When'd it all become an
|
| inspiration?
|
| I made a song as a fuckin' joke in my mother’s basement
|
| Now I spend my days on a busand my nights on stages
|
| Lookin' back, I guess it’s kind of amazin'
|
| I got people with my lyrics tatted on 'em
|
| And I won’t lie that it always makes me cry to see how far that I’ve gotten
|
| Because I’ve left a mark on someone’s life forever
|
| So believe me when I tell you"everything will get better"
|
| From just an average kid, always told me I wouldn’t be shit
|
| Dropped out of college, what the fuck can that degree get?
|
| A desk job, a stupid tie, a feeling I’m expendable?
|
| I’d rather be myself and feel like every day’s incredible
|
| Yeah, so forget your achievements
|
| If I don’t win on this planet, I’mnever planning on leaving
|
| And look, I won’t stop until everyone knows
|
| I’m taking this from them country roads to the whole damn globeThey say what
|
| you can’t do
|
| Hate you until they all love you
|
| They set you up to lose
|
| But I’m tryna make my dreamscome true
|
| From West Virginia to worldwide (to worldwide)
|
| From West Virginia to worldwide (to worldwide) Who says what you can’t do?
|
| Can’t nobody be the judge butyou
|
| Who says you’re not a star?
|
| It don’t matter where you’re from, it don’t matter who you are
|
| Who says what you can’t do?
|
| Can’t nobody be the judge butyou
|
| Who says you’re not a star?
|
| It don’t matter where you’re from, it don’t matter who you areThey say what you
|
| can’t do
|
| Hate you until they all love you
|
| They set you up to lose
|
| But I’m tryna make my dreamscome true
