Nothing without me


material things

they are nothing but the modern day slavery

shiniy chains flashy things

they dont bother me

See we love for those shiniy things

like diamond rings and beutiful ear rings

only thing i would ever need is me

 

See im nothing without me

they sell us those shiniy dreams

that this is the way to go this is how it should be

If i was to be left alone on this island

it would be the only place were my broken bones would 

finally reach silence

 

see we call our selves the individuals

to hide the realitly that we are all just the same

oh these material things cover our necks with blingy dreams

but i would be nothing without me

 

they say if your without them you will be nothing

your hair is not on fleek

were are the js for your feet

dress like a hoker everytime you walk the street

if i was alone on an island the only thing i would need is me

 

these accesories are nothing but a shadow that hides and divides us from the reality

of which we come from

there the same crimes hiding from back in time that got us doing these

sill things

some you may say you need pictures or certain meomories

but the only thing i would need is me 

i am nothing without me

 

but who am i i am an individual fighting to be diffrent fighting to do the things that are un heard of

i am my bestfriend

i say i cant be without me but really i cant be without you 

you are me 

if i was alone on an island the only thing i couldn't live without is

we
