"Dear Marco" lyrics
Oh. I wanna do it again
Yeah. I feel like running again
Oh. I wanna do it again
Yeah
As I put my pen to this page, there's someone in my mind
The younger me, the broken me, the one I left behind
Look inside these words. You see the truth I try to hide
This is what I tell myself, if I could press "Rewind"
People gonna laugh at you simply 'cause the pain that you show
But things happen, as a kid, to you the only we know
Promise to never let go
Listen
Wherever you go
I look at you and wish I had your strength
I'm not even close
Look
I see me as God's child
They see me as problem child
Lucky. I'm a better person
I be blowing all you down
Trust me. Where I'm from, it's not hard to find clips with thirty rounds
Rather be in magazines here for family still around
Just a kid with dreams and hitting big stages
Going wild. No one saw me
Your potential
All they had for you is doubts
Sometimes, I just feel like an item at the Lost And Found
I've been so depressed but dog
All I could do is write it down
Oh. I wanna do it again
Yeah. I feel like running again
Done dirty by your family
All you had was your fans
They cried your words back to you
Said, "You know who I am."
They said, that your music saved them
No one else gave a damn
And that's the only thing that ever made you feel like a man
Look
Every handshake
Every hug
Every tear that shed
Every kid said your words pulled them back from the edge
Ain't about the charts or what you got, or the things you flex
It's about the ones who find life in pain that you reflect
Hunger in the pain from just touching the stage once
You can have the fame. Just remember where you came from
Tattooed your lyrics on their body
Those are "day-one"s
Drove two hundred miles to tell you that you saved them
Remember
Oh. I wanna do it again
Yeah. I feel like running again
Yeah
Pops hardly around
You just a distant son
I'm glad you never pulled your trigger finger on that gun
I promise that, one day, you'll find the girl you love
If I could've told you one thing: please, don't take them drugs
You'll lose yourself a couple times, before you learn to trust
You'll lose some friends along the way
Sometimes, you feel too much
You'll build a name, but watch how fast they try to tear it up
You fall in love, then realize "forever" turns to dust
I know you somewhere right now
Second-guessing all your friends
You gonna try to cut them off
That's not where the problem ends
Law suits, accusations, all the smiles were all pretend
But trust me: if I had to go back, I'd do it all again
The stress and pain in trying to make your moms proud
You won't believe, if I told you who plays your songs now
Look
We made it, but trust me: this life will not be perfect
But you gonna build and rebuild yourself, when it falls down
Broken child wanna go back in time and hug you
Remember: you can rebuild that kid that you once knew
And I can always be the person you run to
Most importantly: wanna say, "Marco, I love you. Yours truly."
Oh. I wanna do it again
Yeah. I feel like running again
Oh. I wanna do it again
Yeah. I feel like running again
Oh. I wanna do it again
Yeah. I feel like running again
Yeah. I feel like running again
Oh. I wanna do it again
Yeah
As I put my pen to this page, there's someone in my mind
