gannon - self reliance lyrics

self reliance right here
it’s been a journey
got one more song, and i gotta go out on the right note (ha)
gotta finish strong
self reliance, let’s go

so we ending it on a high note
people asking what’s next, like, how would i know?
what i do know is i’m having the time of my life
and i know it’s a surprise, this music is taking flight
got plans to make it big, and this is just a start
maybe three years from now this won’t be what i want
but my heart has been telling me to hear my intuition
so i’m relying on myself i don’t care if you will listen
appreciate everyone that’s gotten me to this point
i’m sorry if my first tape turned out to disappoint
i might not be on my 8th mile yet, ain’t even from detroit
but with hard work and p-ssion i’m changing the world with my voice
words of advice from my family and closest friends
thank you to those standing by until my end
still having anxious dreams so the first seven will be repeating
but i know in a few years, my music will be succeeding
this is my art, my music, my story
i’m blocking out my doubts like marc-andre fleury
you can do the same, i know you got it in ya
if you knew me a year ago, just look what i’ve become
cause i’m still a young kid, but i’m wise beyond years
overcoming the hard times, crushing all of my fears
i did it with music and you might with something else
self reliance is where it starts but it finishes with success
if this is the last song i ever write
put blood sweat and tears into every word i recite
before i go quiet gotta reference those that showed love
cause without them i would have never been enough
there’s evan who showed me the man who inspired it all
hunna gave the ideas and reminds me that i can ball
me and braden shake and bakin since we were twelve years old
me and d go way back, he tells me my lines are cold
i got em who’s there to talk to through all of my doubts
reminds me to follow my gut and that she’ll always be proud
everyone else that’s seen my belief
wish i could shout you all out but i’m doing this for me
i can’t forget my family, they’re closer than most others
sisters and brothers we can all count on each other
my dad gave me p-ssion for music and all people
my mom’s got her own song and she’s crying everytime i sing it
even my teachers out here teaching me how to write
all the musicians i listen showing me how to do it right
when quinn talked about instincts that was a life changing moment
and without chester i would’ve never known that i want it
but that’s enough about others cause this song is about me
i got a long road ahead but i’m cruising comfortable speeds
just started the car and the road could be rocky
but now that i found self reliance, nothing’s gonna stop me

excerpt: self reliance – ralph waldo emerson:
insist on yourself. never imitate. your own gift you can present every moment with the c-mulative force of a whole life’s cultivation; but of the adopted talent of another, you have only an extemporaneous half possession
nothing can bring you peace but yourself. nothing can bring you peace but the triumph of principles

one last verse cause i love it too much
hit it at the last minute, oh man that’s clutch
i know what you’re thinkin: that gannon still raps?
h-ll yeah the boy does, i’ll be the best till i collapse
my head is in the clouds and my potential is even higher
only 14 songs in, already putting out fires
can’t wait to make my own beats, put heart into that too
my impact on the world permanent like a tattoo
love everybody cause we’re really all equal
got my grandpa watching over me like i am his sequel
he probably doesn’t get the genre but he gets the p-ssion
so does grandpa rich though we never had interaction
last year i realized all that really matters is me
so it’s only fair that i practice what i preach
cause music is my religion, i pray to a beat
want to write relatable lyrics but i wanna be unique
and i will, i’ll be the greatest
i wrote a few jams and poured my heart and made a statement
and there were times in the process when i was feeling all depressed
but i realized what it takes to feel that i’m the best
gotta take your feelings can’t be afraid to express
understand the talent that every one can possess
i look back at my product and i can say that i’m proud
so let’s go back to where it started to remind you what it’s about

it’s for you, for me, for those that never believed
for silver, for gold, those not doing what they’re told
it’s for doubt, for faith, for those playing it safe
for life, for death, embracing every breath
it’s for you, for me, for those that never believed
for silver, for gold, those not doing what they’re told
it’s for doubt, for faith, for those playing it safe
for life, for death, embrace every breath
till i’m gone
