Committed - Cole DeRuse, Alyssa Marie

I’m committed

This is not a game for me to play

Cuz there’s many people usin' my music as an escape

I’m committed

This not a hobby or a phase

Not a season of my life but this is every single day

I’m committed

And I’ll admit it time will never wait

Instead of sitting there wastin' my minutes' I got dreams to chase

I’m committed

And I don’t have much money in the bank

Because I spent every dollar I had, on this music thing

I’m committed

Nine years I’ve spent learning to rhyme clear

I’m here, laziness is somethin' you won’t find near

Keep it away it’ll lead me astray, I’m gonna to do what i need to obtain

So many goals in my life that are brave, conquerin' my giant fears

Like rockin' stages full of thousands of people

Hoppin' on planes, flyin' through the clouds like an eagle

Doing a world tour, speakin' truth, exposin' the evil

Even makin' a bit of money doin' everything legal, uh

But that won’t happen if I do not learn to sacrifice

(How much do you gotta give?) Everything, that’s the price

That’s all those nights, I would write in my room

Instead of goin' out, gettin' wasted and sleepin' til noon 'cause I’m committed

I’ve only got so much time left, so many beats in my chest

Pennies, nickels dimes left but I’ma spend it

All on this music like I don’t got a limit

I’ma run this race and be the last one left sprintin'

I’m committed

This is not a game for me to play

Cuz there’s many people usin' my music as an escape

I’m committed

This not a hobby or a phase

Not a season of my life but this is every single day

I’m committed

And I’ll admit it time will never wait

Instead of sitting there wastin' my minutes' I got dreams to chase

I’m committed

And I don’t have much money in the bank

Because I spent every dollar I had, on this music thing

I’m committed

So committed some people must think I have a sickness

Get this, I grip this like I’m throwin' discus

Puttin' all I have into this music business

I’m sorta like a dog chasin' his tail, my pursuit’s relentless

Some say to quit when you fail, but you fail when you quit

And failure isn’t, like jail or prison

Until you resent rowin' when the sail has no wind

That’s why Usain Bolt excels and prevails in his sprints

His work ethic is sick, and i hope to replicate it

Training so hard will never give up and will never give into the cynics

I’m so driven, by this music thing that keeps on elevatin'

Takin me higher I’ll never get tired don’t matter if you’re never with it

I’m committed, I’ve only got so much time left so many beats in my chest

Pennies, nickels dimes left but I’ma spend it

All on this music like I don’t got a limit

I’ma run this race and be the last one left sprintin'

I’m committed

This is not a game for me to play

Cuz there’s many people usin' my music as an escape

I’m committed

This not a hobby or a phase

Not a season of my life but this is every single day

I’m committed

And I’ll admit it time will never wait

Instead of sitting there wastin' my minutes' I got dreams to chase

I’m committed

And I don’t have much money in the bank

Because I spent every dollar I had, on this music thing

I’m committed

I’m so committed, don’t get in the way

Breakin' my stride’s a game with your life that you never should play

Won’t hesitate to take whatever you say to make it a weapon

And bury you with your own words already in vain, when every

Step that I take is calculated, with a goal in mind

Put in overtime for the sake of this fate I know is mine

Don’t rely on no one to do my work

To reach the other side of this road I would move the earth

Know there’s nothing I would stop at, not 'til the time is gone

I’m facin' forward, racin' toward the gate with blinders on

It’s been a rough ride, thank God that my sight was strong

Cuz even through the darkest night I’d see the light of dawn

And that would keep me goin', now I’m gettin' there

The blood, sweat and tears are payin' off I know the end is here

And that means a new beginning is near

So whisper doubt into my ear, I’m too committed to care

I’m committed

This is not a game for me to play

Cuz there’s many people usin' my music as an escape

I’m committed

This not a hobby or a phase

Not a season of my life but this is every single day

I’m committed

And I’ll admit it time will never wait

Instead of sitting there wastin' my minutes' I got dreams to chase

I’m committed

And I don’t have much money in the bank

Because I spent every dollar I had, on this music thing

I’m committed
