NLYF by Tyler Carter Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Riddle me this, I gotta figure it out
Are they laughing at me
Because I'm prone to fear and doubt?
Am I messed up, am I loud?
Eat my dust, that's all I am, just a speck out in the crowd
I'm trying to clean up the mess I made
But the towel I used to soak up my worry, it just went up in flames
You see I got a conscience like gasoline
I could siphon shit out, just fuck it and leave
But I fuel the fire with everything they said
It's stuck in my mind, you're better off dead
[Chorus]
If you got the keys, then start the car and (Go!)
Drive as far as you can
If you got the blood, then you got the heart to (Love!)
Give yourself a chance
'Cause in your mind, you're not the same
But I will challenge you to own your name
You got it, you got it, yeah
And never lose your flames
If you got the keys, then start the car and (Go!)
Drive as far as you can
If you got the blood, then you got the heart to (Love!)
Give yourself a chance
'Cause in your mind, you're not the same
But I will challenge you to own your name
You got it, you got it, yeah
Never lose your flames
[Spoken]
This one goes out to all the poets
The kids who didn't make it
I'm broken, yeah, uh
[Verse 2]
You call yourself a doctor, you swear you got that cure
Prescribe yourself with medication 'cause your patience's insecure
I know the world is dark, but you got the light
Even sitting in the closet chilling with the skeletons you fight
You said you found the meaning of giving up
Oh, but I'm not the person that you thought I was
'Cause I broke the ice, I revealed the scandal
But the water's deeper than you're able to handle
Yeah, that's probably why you hit me twice
Said, "No son of mine, just get out of my life"
It's my fault, it's what I deserve
I needed a blessing, but I got a curse
[Chorus: Tyler Carter]
If you got the keys, then start the car and (Go!)
Drive as far as you can
If you got the blood, then you got the heart to (Love!)
Give yourself a chance
'Cause in your mind, you're not the same
But I will challenge you to own your name
You got it, you got it, yeah
And never lose your flames
If you got the keys, then start the car and (Go!)
Drive as far as you can
If you got the blood, then you got the heart to (Love!)
Give yourself a chance
'Cause in your mind, you're not the same
But I will challenge you to own your name
You got it, you got it, yeah
Never lose your flames
[Bridge: Tyler Carter]
Misunderstood, I'm misunderstood
I will shine to my fullest because I owned my name the best I could
Misunderstood, we are all misunderstood
Everybody own your name
I wish you would, I wish you would, woah
[Chorus: Tyler Carter]
If you got the keys, then start the car and
Drive as far as you can
If you got the blood, then you got the heart to
Give yourself a chance
'Cause in your mind, you're not the same
But I will challenge you to own your name
You got it, you got it, yeah
And never lose your flames
If you got the keys, then start the car and
Drive as far as you can
If you got the blood, then you got the heart to
Give yourself a chance
'Cause in your mind, you're not the same
But I will challenge you to own your name
You got it, you got it, yeah
Never lose your flames
