Thomas Austin - Persistence Lyrics

You know
I think this is about you
You are persistent
Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence
Talent will not
Nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent
Keep going Austin
And may all the things that you desire
All the things that you worked hard to get
May God grant you your every wish
It's hard to take a vacation
Hard to sacrifice this much and stay patient
I gotta move forward
Even in my sleep I stay pacing
Highly concerned about where I'm placing
Mind stay racing
Truth is
They look at me for motivation
Truth is
They looking at my level to judge their elevation
True is
This was never perfect
It just look amazing
Truth is
I ain't got all the answers
I just play my aces
Truth is
I can't follow trends that I'm too busy making
Waking up in sweats
I feel we onto something
I don't operate knowing tomorrow's coming
Yeah I'm quick on my feet but don't run from nothing
I really used to think I gave my all for nothing
Sometimes it's much better to be different and I swear you ain't seen what I'm becoming
Feeling outlandish trying to reel it in
Swinging for the fence but ain't connected lately
Reaching out to friends like a text can save me
Giving every ounce cause what's the point in saving
You only judged by what you making
Do you even care
Do you even care
Do you even care
Do you even care
Do you even care
Do you even care
Do you even care
Do you even care
I once heard them say that revenge is a dish much better served cold
My shelves emptied
Trying to cater to 'em
I wasn't consoled
I'm done with that
Running out of business trying to run with the pack
People love forecasting my rise like an almanac
I need the love
Not here in my face
Instead behind my back
No easing up
I ain't come to terms with that like bad contracts
I'm even numb
To the ones that are there for me
Like what's the catch
Them be the ones
Hold favors over your head like bucket hats
Still waking up in sweats
I feel it's imminent
Stayed true to me regardless of they sentiments
I love the grind so much it's getting intimate
Till death do us part
And even then my spirit still living through these instruments
These sounds and these sentences
Got gifted a good heart and I deal with the consequence
They'll take your kindness for incompetence
I'm writing my story, you get to witness it
I'm living proof of see it go get it
So you can say you got to see what persistence gets
Do you even care
Do you even care
Do you even care
Do you even care
Do you even care
Do you even care
Do you even care
Do you even care
