Chatterbox
waking to a new day I think of new opportunities
is today the day I can truly be at ease
negative chatter in my head the pastor said its the chatterbox
he tells me to believe in god, have faith and it will stop
as I listen I hear you'll always live in fear
it isn't the truth and I know it but the voice is so clear
don't do that or this so you don't look like a fool
always careful and cautious so I can keep looking cool
when around my friends all the confidence kicks in
there's no law I will obey and no rule that can't be bent
I'm lifted by the laughs and smiles, I really don't think
I just live in the moment with my mind on auto think
then when I'm alone in my home
I think of my country and what's wrong
How can I have a kid in a world that is so cold
I just want to live past 50 years old
Can I achieve my dreams and live in success
Should I shut out the world and just work til i'm stressed
I think about everything I have in excess
Alot of good things ensures me that i'm blessed
I organize my day in my mind
I try to make it perfect, but my actions change every time
The last time I saw a man on the street
I made a promise to myself saying that will never be me
