Thirty years you been draggin' 
     A7 
your feet, tellin' me 
                             Dm
I'm the reason we're stagnant
                                 
Thirty years you've been claiming 
          A7 
you're honest and promising progress,

Give the people somethin' different

[Verse 1]
                              
What's my definition of succеss? 
     A7
(Of success)
                                
Listening to what your heart says 
                 Dm
(Your heart says)

Standing up for what you know is (Is)
A7
Right, while everybody else is (Is)
A7                        A7     
Tucking their tail between their legs 
      Dm
(Okay)
                                
What's my definition of success? 
     A7
(Of success)
                                 
Creating something no one else can 
          Dm
(Else can)
Being brave enough to dream big 
(Big)
A7
Grinding when you're told to just quit 
(Quit)
A7                      A7
Giving more when you got nothing left 
(Left)
       Dm
It's a person that'll take a chance on

Something they were told could 

never happen
       A7
It's a person that can see 

the bright side

Through the dark times when there ain't one
          Dm
It's when someone who ain't never had nothin'

Ain't afraid to walk away from
     A7
More profit 'cause they'd rather do somethin'

That they really love and take the pay cut
       Dm
It's a person that would never waver

Or change who they are
                   A7
Just to try to and gain some credibility

So they could feel accepted by a stranger
       Dm
It's a person that can take the 

failures in their life 

and turn them into motivation
     A7              A7   
It's believing in yourself 
          A7
when no one else does, 
  A7
it's amazin'
       Dm
What a little bit of faith can do if you 

don't even believe in you
          A7
Why would you think or expect anybody else 

that's around you to?
       Dm
I done did things that I regret, 

I done said things 

I can't take back
      A7
Was a lost soul at a crossroad 

who had no hope, 

but I changed that
        Dm
I spent years of my life holdin' 

on to things 

I never should've kept, 

full of hatred
A7
Years of my life carryin' 

a lot of baggage that 

I should've walked away from
Dm
Years of my life wishin' 

I was someone different, 

lookin' for some validation
A7              A7                  A7
Years of my life tryna fill the void, 

pretending I was in—

They get it
 

[Verse 2]
Dm
Growing pain's a necessary evil

Difficult to go through, yes, 

but beneficial
           A7
Some would say having a mental breakdown 

is a negative thing
                  A7
Which on one hand, I agree with
       Dm
On the other hand, it was the push I needed

To get help and start the healing process, see
            A7
If I'd have never hit rock bottom

Would I be the person that I am today?
  A7
I don't believe so
      Dm
I'm a prime example of what happens 

when you choose to not accept defeat 

and face your demons
        A7                                      
Took me thirty years to realize 

that if you wanna 
               A7
get that opportunity
                   Dm
To be the greatest version of yourself, 

sometimes you got to be 

someone you're not

To hear the voice of reason
       A7
Having kids will make you really 

take a step back 

and look in the mirror

At least for me, that's what it did, I
 
[Outro]
Dm
Wake up every day and pick my son up

Hold him in my arms and let him 

know he's loved (Loved)
A7
Standing by the window, questioning if dad is 

ever going to show up (Up)
       Dm
Isn't something he's goin' 

to have to worry 'bout

Don't get it twisted, that wasn't a shot
      A7
Mama, I forgive you

I just don't want him to grow up thinkin' 

that he'll never be enough
                Dm
Thirty years of running, 

thirty years of searchin'

Thirty years of hurting, 

thirty years of pain

Thirty years of empty, 

thirty years of shame
                Dm

thirty years of anguish

Thirty years of hopeless, 

thirty years of (Hey)

Thirty years of never, 

thirty years of maybe

Thirty years of later, 

thirty years of fake
                Dm
Thirty years of hollow, 

thirty years of sorrow

Thirty years of darkness, 

thirty years of (Nate)
                A7
Thirty years of baggage, 

thirty years of sadness

Thirty years of stagnant, 

thirty years of chains
                Dm
Thirty years of anxious, 

thirty years of suffering

Thirty years of torment, 

thirty years of (Wait)
                A7
Thirty years of bitter, 

thirty years of lonely

Thirty years of pushing 

everyone away ('Way)
              Dm
(You'll never evolve) 

I know I can change
(We are not enough)

 We are not the same
                    A7
(You don't have the heart) 

You don't have the strength
(You don't have the will) 

You don't have the faith
                 Dm
(You'll never be loved, 

you'll never be safe)
(Might as well give up) 

Not running away
                    A7
(You don't have the guts)
