Letra
I grew up just down the road from James Dean Small town kids from Indiana, we grew up in the same scene And I watched every one of his movies from Rebel to East of Eden And I wished so bad I could go back somehow and meet him And I've read about how small minds used to treat him And I get it 'cause I've lived it I've been mocked and made fun of And ridicule for being a creative, I've received a ton of But that never kept me from breaking loose from the place I grew up in And when religious people tried to stop me, I didn't listen because I knew enough sin It's funny when people throw rocks but live in glass houses I chased my dream and ended up speaking to masses of thousands And I never forget where I came from, and they never forgot me And I'll never forget preaching in Mississippi when cops stopped me They said a man there woulda shot me But I've never stopped living [?], a quitter, that's not me I kept marching to the drum in one beat And people who misunderstood me tried to shun me But I sit back and laugh 'cause religious people are funny Self-righteous and pious stuck with their heads neck-deep in Titus Like, "How many verses can I memorize?" I grew up in a church and found out it's all been a lie Not the Jesus I fell in love with but the people in the seats Sometimes I lose my hope in people until I hit my next meet-n-greet And that's when I get to meet all of my Tell the World family And suddenly, I forget about the voices of the haters who can't stand me Because I have a million of people who back me So forget the naysayers that trashed me People who jump online need clicks so they "@" me Get off your computers and come see me Half the haters I have are just mad they can't be me But you couldn't last a day in my shoes It's the fourth quarter, baby, and I refuse to lose I came up in the middle of central Indiana watching Indiana Jones from the beginning And you wonder why I wear these hats, just call me Indiana Jennings I'm not afraid to go where the rest of the world is And I'm not afraid to take what the rest of the world gives Their negativity and jealousy doesn't phase me And it never goes to my head when my fans continue to praise me I'm a middle American with a west coast swag Lemme hear you so I know where you're at I wanna reach the world Every boy and every girl I wanna reach the prostitutes and drug addicts and bullies, too And I promise the only thing I've ever bullied is this booth And I don't need you to tell me I'm the best poet alive I knew I was the moment I arrived I knew I was when I took my first stage Poetry is a release for me to temper my rage These are confessions of a poet from the 'burbs who has an inner-city mind And I told myself every winter I'd be fine That's when the depression used to splinter my mind Every creative has a time in their life they'd wish they'd die Because everything we create takes a piece of us And I'll never forget the cities east of us Shoutout to Dayton and Cinci and Philly, too Some people talk about full speed living, but this is something I really do I wake up and write, and I shoot, and I edit I was the first to bring controversy to Christianity through creativity, yeah, I said it And they sent haters would stop me, but I never let it I have a beast inside of me, and I was a kid when I first fed it And the diet looks like motivation and confidence I had no help with this movement when I was launching this I had me, myself, and I, and nobody wanted to take a chance on me Until randomly, Josh and Paul became fans of me But more importantly, they were friends to me I felt like I couldn't finish the climb with a discouraged injury But they picked me up and put me on They gave me a platform and stood me on And I can't thank them enough for taking a shot on this kid I'll never forget the things that they did So to every kid out there with dreams of making it I came from nowhere, walked up to the wall, and started breaking it And I hope I've been able to inspire you to chase you dreams and live sold out I used to sleep with no furniture on a fold-out couch And they turned off my heat one day when it was cold out But I just kept chasing this dream of reaching the nations Now they play my messages on TV stations And now wherever I go, people say hey and know my name With God, all things are possible, and you could do the same It starts today Get up and get after it And live every second pumped up and passionate
