Dark Horse
I'm not gonna front
Maybe I'm a runt, but a runt needs a chance to stand up
Maybe I'll be realized for the rapper I've become
Maybe I can be up there with the great ones
Even if I'm just one kid with the dream of a million
Maybe I can be that one
Maybe I can leave them all stunned
ugh
Show them what I got
show them that I'm not afraid
Give me one shot so I can at least say
My hardest wasn't good enough
Maybe I'm not meant for this
Judgement gets the best of us
But it aint gonna put me to rest
No
I won't let it
People tried to bet that I'd fail
so forget it
I'll show them that this dark horse meant it when he said he would make it
I wasn't fakin'
Sadness is the monster that shapes us all
Dark things come but they tend to fall
You can only see the light when you open your eyes
You can only see the light once you see through the lies
Dark horse, you're nothing but a runt
Dark horse, you never stand up
Gotta ride through the storm
So you can make it to the sun
When everyone thought you were down
You were down for the count
Tears on the faces of the ones who were there
The ones who saw the dark horse stand up
surprised faces all around
Impressed by the heart that it took to go on
The heart that it took to prove everyone wrong
Show them what he knew all along
Years of devotion
his fate set in motion
fame getting closer
the man getting colder
I give credit to the people that dubted me
I look up to half the people that look down on me
I'll make sure I thank everyone who supported me
Cause their encouragement helped me find
A new me, and you'll see
I worked real hard to be me
When your best friend tells you you can't make it
You gotta prove 'em wrong
Show them you can take it
I'll be famous
One day
they'll all know what my name is
I'll be full of the greatness
I'll be remembered when I'm ancient
Some will try, but, no one will be able to replace this
Sadness is the monster that shapes us all
Dark things come but they tend to fall
You can only see the light when you open your eyes
You can only see the light once you see through the lies
Dark horse, you're nothing but a runt
Dark horse, you never stand up
Gotta ride through the storm
So you can make it to the sun
When everyone thought you were down
You were down for the count
Tears on the faces of the ones who were there
The ones who saw the dark horse stand up
surprised faces all around
Impressed by the heart that it took to go on
The heart that it took to prove everyone wrong
Show them what he knew all along
How long will it take you to open your eyes?
To see the surprise?
Sadness is the monster that shapes us all
Dark things come but they tend to fall
You can only see the light when you open your eyes
You can only see the light once you see through the lies
Dark horse is about to come to surprise
Everybody looks but they can't ever find
the real horse inside, everybody finds
when he starts to ride
Never measured up, always had to fight when he had no
Everybody needs to be treated right
Reality is, everyone has to fight
Sadness is the monster that shapes us all
Dark things come but they tend to fall
You can only see the light when you open your eyes
You can only see the light once you see through the lies
Dark horse, you're nothing but a runt
Dark horse, you never stand up
Gotta ride through the storm
So you can make it to the sun
When everyone thought you were down
You were down for the count
Tears on the faces of the ones who were there
The ones who saw the dark horse stand up
surprised faces all around
Impressed by the heart that it took to go on
The heart that it took to prove everyone wrong
Show them what he knew all along
