[@FROMIVANB]

This was the first track that I wrote for "The Pursuit" mixtape about 7-8 months ago. It was a time where I was really lost and uncertain about my life due to the fact that I had no real audience and had been losing the closest of friends due to me spending all my time pursuing a dim looking dream. My heart was broken around the same time and had really no one close to talk too which basically resulted to the making of this song. Though I hate listening to this because of the production quality haha, but just know that this is me, an 18 year-old kid with an uncertainty about the future. You'll never hear a club hit, or a radio Disney pop single because that doesn't appeal to me or relates to me in any single way. I might never be played on the radio or sell out arenas or be on MTV, I really don't care. All I want to do is make someones shitty day a little bit better. I could less about the money, the women, the fame, the cars, none of that. I want to connect with the people who don't think anyone understands even if they try to put it into words. Because every party eventually ends, the high eventually fades, and reality will always hit you harder the next morning. The music I make is for me, but also for you. The movement really starts with this next project "Finding Better Places." Thank you so much if you've been a listener since day one or if you just found out about me today. Lets take the world by storm #TEAMIVANB (thx for the upload swagy!)

The most motivational rap I've heard in a while, this one guy here made me love this genre

[@cianwhite467]

Rap?

[@pondfullofsoup]

Its kind of both isn't it

[@Aryan-ex8lp]

+Anas Khan You could say that..

[@tehee6431]

[@1morekill]

its honestly sad that no one knows this song, ive literally been listening since it came out, and the sad thing is the more i go through life the more and more i can relate to this song, and i’d be lying if i told you ive never cried to this song...

[@Ashlyn172]

Same.... same

[@redRaps]

When Ivan raps really fast it feels like I'm losing my breath too like omg

[@r92.05]

[@strobelightsmcsg1328]

[@jtth8661]

When im sad, i listen to this song and i feel better. This is the best song that i ever heard

[@ImranKhan-kb8uh]

I'm addicted to the song know

[@ImranKhan-kb8uh]

[@Knightington]

[@IAMDC9]

Ivan B has to make it big. Artists who put out music like this deserve nothing else then that

[@David77704]

Someone hast to find him, jake miller got big because warner bros found him, and Justin bieber got big because usher found him. Eminem got big because Dr dre found him. I hope someone finds him :-)

[@RayLunz]

I agree

[@akaSilenced]

I Hope someone find Witty :(

[@TheBoon14]

LOL fuck he still hasn't blown up :( same with witty lmao

[@randomperson-tm2uv]

This is so underrated...

[@Laurenextreme]

Every time I listen to this, it gives me chills. Love that feeling.

[@RealSykes]

Ivan don't ever stop what you do. This is amazing, truly. You're talented, I'm listening to this 100% Replay. Keep it up Ivan.

[@jezreelj4897]

i was sleeping around 2 and left the auto play on..then this played and just woke me up cuz its fucking fire !

[@Twoshot_not_God]

amazing moment my guy. I hope you're good. ❤‍🔥✊

[@mikecarlassare]

I recently found this artist, probably the best I've heard in a long time.

[@alyssaweber4845]

Before hearing this, I thought rap was this shitty style of music that Kanye sings. After hearing this, it changed my whole perspective on rap. I now realize that the good side of rap is like another way of preaching and expressing yourself. You're expressing your true feelings and preaching them out to the world. Amazing job as always Ivan.

[@NeoPS3KnifingandComp]

2 years since I listened to this song. 2 years since my mom passed. Ngl rapping the whole song was a challenge compared to how easy it was back then. The 2nd verse choked me, started thinking of my mom. But I am gonna start listening to my old stuff again.

[@johanperez7246]

I'm in the worst days of my life, I've been thinking about suicide for a while... But everytime a listen to this song, a little shine of light just appears in front on me. Thank you Ivan, for keeping me alive after all.

[@elias3827]

You still alive brother? Goin thru same shit, hope you do good

[@johanperez7246]

@@elias3827 I'm still here bro, life always gets better, the struggle never ends but i'm happier than before and now i can take care of my loved ones :) hope life gets better for you too bro and thanks for asking 🧙‍♂️

[@funshothotshot3471]

I want this on Spotify. Please!

[@jodukus3956]

Still listing to it in 2020... Such a melodic piece of music

[@JareedStephenson]

wow this is deep and I give so much respect to Ivan b, I've been here since day one and this is the most amazing message you could ever put in a song

[@beka2257]

I lost friends and i lost love too.

[@9drewbreez]

[@beechizel8148]

+wayne.X was ist dein Problem von wegen du bist kein Nazi! Komm du erstmal in ein Land ohne Zukunft und Perspektive. Du hast genug gesehen und gehört um deine Meinung zu bilden. Genug AfD geschwätz und genug PEGIDA Parolen was ? Du siehst nicht das gesamte Leiden. Wegen solchen Meinungen begehen Jugendliche Selbstmord um nicht solch einer Menschheit anzugehören! Deutschland ist nicht das schönste Land aber der Grund ist das es hier keine Liebe gibt, keine Menschlichkeit und keine Moral ! Also bitte sag sowas nicht !

[@YoongisAurora]

I just found this youtube channel today and I've already gone through like 10 separate videos and there are so many talented people and I am just in awe.

[@triqkiithe_cloud_kid9118]

this is one of my most favorite songs I love listening too when I feel like that. it is something we cant really all escape. but once you portray these emotions, it gets easier. you are one of the best in the game still in 2019 in my opinion. much love Ivan B your comment/story really gets me man. its something that I kinda have been looking for. cheers to five years! #TEAMIVANB2019

[@TheDanielStrang]

Thank you for giving me a reason to keep going through my darkest moments

[@breezysports4962]

[Verse 1] This for the kids who believe they could never do it This for the ones too scared to try This is the moment you step up and own it Holding your head right to the sky This is my story, my blood and my tears My sweat and devotion, my dreams and my fears I know I can make it, I feel it is near This is the year, this is my year Through heartbreaks and breakthroughs Mistakes through high school and the hardest times I stayed cool even if I felt miserable So I'm giving it all, I got nothing to lose Chasing a dream you said I would lose I've lost friends; I've lost love too Hung on the journey, I'm finding the truth Pursuing my dreams, pursuing my calls I'm risking it all, I'll fly or I'll fall No matter the outcome, I'll give it my all Cause' I started from nothing - yeah - nothing at all Not for the money, the love or the fame But for the chance for you to hit 'play', Hear what I say, see me be great And I'll show you how a heart breaks Addicted to love and I hate it, cause maybe I feel like I feel she'll break it You've done it before we dated, now my love to you is outdated Cause remember the time you looked in my eyes, and you told me you loved me? I bet you said the same thing when you were drunk at some dude's party Can you feel every word, can you feel all my pain? Yea, I know I bet you feel nothing Yeah, I feel all the strain, you can call me insane, but I know for real, we have something But enough with the stress, I'm gonna' leave it to rest, even if you did rip my heart from my chest Wish you the best, even if I'm a mess but just know this, I'm never coming back Cause I know things never stay the same, love comes and it never stays, best friends always seem to change But this music always remains the same, through the bitter nights and the longer days, it's the only thing that's never changed Cause I started from nothing, I started from scratch, too many times stabbed in the back Not my full sign then left in my bag, what's the point I get no calls back, I know I've been busy; I know that's a fact And at times I don't know where I'm at, I want to kick back, I want to chit-chat, but sometimes I can't, what's wrong with that? Pursuing a dream, when you're pouring a drink, sometimes we do what just don't want to think Cause that ain't the same sunshine to rain, but no matter what, we all just change And lately I really don't know what to do You wished I was there, but would leave me out too My team is not just a limited few, so I guess I wish the best for you too The smaller the circle the tighter the trust Take my team with me, and leave y'all to rust I never thought me, I always thought us You always thought you, I gave you my trust Don't need your doubts, I don't need your stress The times I had with you were the best But honestly you're just like the rest Only come around when there's more than less But shit happens, I know And truly deep down I'm fine with that Never had the time to even call me back Wouldn't even care if I had a heart attack So I keep my self up from your doubts and my fears Fought through it all, from the pain and the tears Picked myself up for my fans and my peers, for myself and my team, for my fans and I'm here [Verse 2] So I'm picking up the pieces, I'm putting down the past Mom, you know I got you, I'm gonna pay every single cent back Give you the light that I think you deserve Bring my team up from the ground, off the dirt Picked up a pen and I spilled out a verse Maybe this time it might really work Cause I'm getting impatient, I'm not gonna' lie Hands in my pockets, my head to the sky Got no wings, but I'm destined to fly Open my eyes, and I'm ready to try Cause, I know what it's like to be left behind I know what it's like to give up inside I run in my room; every night, I write, what it's like to put all of that on the side I don't do it for me, I just do it for you Give me your ears, and I'll give you mine too You're part of my team, just know that that's true This is my year, No it's yours too Putting the fears and the lives of behind I'm finding myself trying to live life right Relieving the anger I've built up inside, like finding the light in the darkness of night For the kids who believed they could never do it For the ones too scared to even try This is the moment you step up and own it These are the times to feel alive So, give me your heart and I'll give you mine too Tell me your problems, I'll show you my wounds Show me your tears that all dropped out of you Happiness is what we pursue But are chasing a dream, and I'm chasing the truth Looking for love and I found it in you Built up a team and we're ready to move Ready to win or we're ready to lose But, no matter the outcome, we do this for you Give me your hand and we'll make it there soon Life is just one beautiful view We'll eventually get there This is the pursuit This is the pursuit This is the pursuit

This is one of the songs, along with some of Witt Lowry, that inspired me to start my little channel, trying to express myself the best that I can. A lot changed in me and with the audience of the music, people are now stuck on shorts and tik toks, just a few second of attention and go. I don't want to become like that. I want to talk, talk a lot, I'm trying so much to deliver my feels and help anyone to stop feeling alone or wrong. Thank for every song, every line, every word Ivan
