When?

To Build

Something got to give

Where can I find time to build?

Yes I feel the toll but I have to pay my bills

My business got pushed to the side, but that's not a big deal

I got to work hard and find a way to live

I'm more than a worker, I have to make all my dreams real

So when can I build?

My energy is low, and I have nothing to give

I guess it's a dream I got to kill

    It’s such a hard balance, survival and chasing our dreams.

    Powerful lines; the struggle between survival and ambition is real, but the dream’s still alive. Keep building!

    Never kill your dream—that’s what they want you to do.
