Never There

Try to keep thoughts from comin' out my head

How you claim you real when you was never there?
How you claim you real when you was never there?

[Chorus]
How you claim you real when you was never there
Judging all my feelings, but you never cared
[?] I can feel it in the air
I can't take back all the moments that we shared
The Devil wasn't no problem, we can take it there
If I tell you all my problems, you gon' need a chair
The fake can't go relate, they ain't gon' understand
How you gon' succeed if you don't have a plan?

[Verse 1]
Yeah
I spoke the truth, they chose to run away
They listen to the Devil, now they gone and led astray
I been through lots of trials, but I can never leave the faith
Yeah I knew that I would make it
I knew that it was my time
When I told 'em I'ma get it
Told 'em I'm 'bout to grind
I knew that they was fakin'
I'm readin' between the lines
They thought that they would break me
But baby, I'm doin' fine

[Bridge]
Yeah
Been through lots of pain in my life
Can't you see the pain in my eyes
I'm tired of hearing the same alibis
Rock it all to sleep like a lullaby

[Verse 2]
Yeah
That rockstar lifestyle, might not make it
Playing for keeps now, I can't play fair
They gave me my shot now; I'm not gon' miss
That spot at the top mine; I'm gon' take it

[Bridge]
Yeah
Been through lots of pain in my life
Can't you see the pain in my eyes
I'm tired of hearing the same alibis
Rock it all to sleep like a lullaby

[Chorus]
How you claim you real when you was never there
Judging all my feelings, but you never cared
[?] I can feel it in the air
I can't take back all the moments that we shared
The Devil wasn't no problem, we can take it there
If I tell you all my problems, you gon' need a chair
The fake can't go relate, they ain't gon' understand
How you gon' succeed if you don't have a plan?
