Текст песни The Boy Who Lived - Huey Mack

Yeah, young and wide-eyed
Used to be the guy that saw the bright side
Used to be the guy that had the world in his palms
And lost grip when life hit him with a blindside
I don′t know the shit that's complicated
To say I overthink would be an understatement
I feel like I lied when I said I would make it
′Cause when I didn't make it I just got complacent
Too young to handle attention
No one around me ever been famous
So all the advice given just went into one ear
Then went out the other 'cause my ego inflated
No excuse for it though,
You don′t see it coming but you get to watch it go
They say Hue ran through the mud just to grow
Lived through it all it proved to show, like

I, I knew who I was before they did
Back when I was that hopeless kid
Not afraid to just take a risk when
Life leaves you feelin′ low and stuck
Do you stay down or you get back up
Cut your losses and end your run

When you down you find out exactly who you are
The darkest nights often provide the brightest stars
The boy who lived always got proof inside the scars
The boy who lived always got proof inside the scars

Went through it to learn from it
I've been beat down and still love it
Took so many L′s and still won it
So I keep pushing knowing that shit comin'
Country boy with that big city mindset
Payed debts with more debts
I′ve seen hope disappearing with each step
But get it back knowing that it ain't my time yet
Seven years made a living off of writing songs
Seen people come and go that didn′t last that long
Like I know I got the fire in me
My potential the only thing that I need
My insecurities they drive me to a better place
Been face to face with my demons and I came out straight
So I know I'm destined to be great
Don't you know the tortoise won that race, like

I, I knew who I was before they did
Back when I was that hopeless kid
Not afraid to just take a risk when
Life leaves you feelin′ low and stuck
Do you stay down or you get back up
Cut your losses and end your run

When you down you find out exactly who you are
The darkest nights often provide the brightest stars
The boy who lived always got proof inside the scars
The boy who lived always got proof inside the scars
