Full Pockets, Empty Hands (feat. Justin Strauss)

How many nights have I sat down to write but nothing sounds right? It's never been a fight But as of late I've been pushing to be great Without realizing it don't matter if I wait I wanna make the kind of music where If there's pain in your heart you could learn how to use it there Wanna speak out to the soul, help the people reach their goals Bring peace when life's prices start rising at the tolls I've been filled with pain, I've felt my spirit ache And I just wanna show the world to give more than what they take It's not a simple task, can't receive what you don't ask But everybody's so afraid that they just hide behind a mask The chaos gets so loud, always tryna make a move Seems like everyone is busy tryna find something to prove On the lookout for themselves, grabbing everything they can Never looking to the side to extend a helping hand You & me, you & me We could be, we could be much more You & me we could be much more Listen to the message that we're trying to prevail A few short words and we'll all just convail Set sail in the story we gonna tell People so comfortable to look the other way People on their knees just give it all away Blind to discomfort in our own selfish way We're so damn greedy what the hell is wrong with us Give a little, get a little, hop on the bus Too afraid to lend a hand man, I've heard enough Life out here we're all living rough Selfless not selfish it's in each one of us Why's it so hard to gain someone's trust? The answer's always easy, the formula's not sleazy Come with us and set aside your pride We'll make someone's life reach an all time high And celebrate with me that we're not just getting by You & me, you & me We could be, we could be much more You & me we could be much more How many times have I opened up my heart for it all to fall apart? And watch the love depart? Still I find a way to make it through the day and find the strength to talk So they could hear the things I gotta say I'm tryna find this place they all tell me that exists But I'm trapped inside this world where you speak out with your fists Tryna slow it all down, bring good vibes back around Remind myself that happiness is not a place to be found I've spent so many years focused on the chase That when it finally found my way, you couldn't see it on my face I lost myself inside all the pain I had to hide And no matter how I tried I couldn't leave it all behind Looking back I should've guessed at the time I was depressed Even then when I had less under mountains full of stress I still knew that I was blessed even with my life a mess Cause at the end of all ends, I still hope for your success
