[intro: vic vega]
Yeah. the song is dedicated to everybody who overcame the struggle. this goes out to everybody. yeah, here we go
[chorus: vic vega]
You're all i need in my life through these dark times
I don’t need no one but you [cause one day, i'm gonna make it]
You're all i need in my life through these dark times
I don’t need no one but you [because the struggle feels beautiful]
[pre chorus: vic vega]
I was a small time rapper, now i'm out here making change [out here making change, out here making change]
I lost to many people that i knew along the way [knew along the way, knew along the way]
I came from a broken home and still the pain is in my eyes [pain is in my eyes, pain is in my eyes]
So i had to find a way to make a difference in my life [difference in my life, difference in my life]
[verse 1: vic vega]
There's something going on inside my mind that has destroyed my mental health
When i was all alone there was nobody here to help
I grew up living poor, although sometimes we had our doubts
Parents couldn't pay the rent cause we got kicked out of the house
I'm a lonely child who came from a broken family
Wanting to talk to god, going to church but never answers me
The happiness ain't what it seems
Because i'm tired of feeling like somebody out there is trying to murder me
Parents keep fighting everyday my life gets shorter
That's how i got exposure generational trauma
I cut my family out and i became independent
Embarking on a journey working as a room attendant
I take a look around and see that i’m the only person standing
People laughed at me because they do not understand me
Because i’m sick of trying to think like this
But it's a shame how our friendship had to end like this, you should have known better
[chorus: vic vega]
You’re all i need in my life through these dark times
I don't need no one but you [cause one day, i'm gonna make it]
You're all i need in my life through these dark times
I don’t need no one but you [because the struggle feels beautiful]
[verse 2: vic vega]
They say money brings happiness but all i see is a struggle
Cause all my life i've been struggling with financial troubles
I've experienced the struggle at a very young age
I was shitted on, spitted on and was betrayed
I couldn't cope with my depression, deep down i always cried
But i couldn't share the tear, there was the part of me that died
I stopped showing love because nobody even care
People turned their backs on me the loyalty was never there
I admit that times were rough, because i suffer for the worst
Didn't want to carry on this generational curse
Because i know this life ain't fear, people don't want to see you make it
When it comes to music and entertainment
I want to be famous like all my idols on the tv
Dancing in the videos, but ain't nobody wants to see me
Having a strong urge to climb a ladder to success
Wanting to change my dreams like the pursuit of happiness
Wishing that i could find my down to earth humble and loyal wife
But first, i gotta focus on my life and do what's right
I'm sick and living poor, i'm sick of feeling pessimistic
I'm sick of fake love and people treating me indifferent
Tired of feeling miserable, unhappy and depressed
Tired of feeling paranoid and thinking about death
Things started to change and so i finally made it out
And so i finally made peace with god, even myself
I dedicate the song to everybody who is struggling
To every broken soul is going through the pain of suffering
Because i never had a childhood since the beginning
My life would've been different if i had a better upbringing
[chorus: vic vega]
You're all i need in my life through these dark times
I don't need no one but you [cause one day, i'm gonna make it]
You're all i need in my life through these dark times
I don't need no one but you [because the struggle feels beautiful]
You're all i need in my life through these dark times
I don't need no one but you [cause one day, i'm gonna make it]
You're all i need in my life through these dark times
I don't need no one but you [because the struggle feels beautiful]
[pre chorus: vic vega]
I was a small time rapper, now i'm out here making change [out here making change, out here making change]

[outro: lennox's monologue]
And after the show was over, that's when i finally got the respect that i deserve
