Mektoub

It's been two years in the making now I know what it takes
Been working harder than ever with hardly any breaks
I wanna chart higher than the stakes
And I know I’m still young but I can’t make mistakes
And I put the drums cause I won’t forget my roots
In everything I say, there’s nothing but my truths
And I did all on my own I never had recruits
Lost myself along the way lost in the pursuits
But then I found myself when I wrote the little prince
Went to the bottom of it and it hasn’t been the same since
This has been a marathon forget about the sprints
Don’t know if I will make it and that part of me conflicts
Wanna tour around the world with my people who been there
Who was there every single step of the way
Who made sure I was ok when I went MIA
They said it won’t be easy but they promised they’ll stay
And so I trust the mektoub, what’s written is written
Follow the road till the world will listen
Many long nights but I take the chance I’m given
So I do my mission that I promised I’d fulfill
Dream of the stage and the crowds till it’s real
And when I think about it yeah it feels like a thrill
And I never said it's easy but I’m here still
I never said I’ll rest but I’m here still
Sacrificed friends and relations for this
Sacrificed time and vacations for this
Not that I’m complaining it’ll be worth it in the end
And they would have stayed by me if they really were my friend
I got a lot of pressure on me now but like a diamond I’ll shine
I swear that the dream will be mine
Don’t want to be know for these empty promises
Even though most these people don’t know what a promise is
But I swear that I’ll make it happen
I swear that it’ll happen
Even if it kills me it’s bigger than that
Just the thought of failing gives me a panic attack
Almost cried while writing this look what it means to me
I don’t want to let you down, I don’t want let me down
Like stormzy said, heavy lies the head that wears the crown
But what if I could sell out a town or maybe a city that came to see me for my sound
Spread the wealth with the people believed in me
Buy my mom a house but that was always clear to me
Truth is I would’ve stopped if she let me
I’d be different if she never said live and let be
So I do this for the little me who was always in his dreams,
Always on his planet, that’s why I follow my dreams
The kid who would always smile this is who it’s meant to
No matter what happens, always trust the mektoub
