Perception


Ok, I guess you’re right, sure,

I’m a geek and a nerd....

Or just really passionate about stuff

That I can’t get enough of.

No I don’t have pintrest, twitter, or snapchat

Cause ain’t nobody got time for all of that.

Ok, I don’t have a million friends

Maybe I just want to spend

My time with a few special souls

Who have a cherished role

In my life alright? And so what

If I’m not the most popular. I’m not nuts.

That’s just not the way I wanna be. Hey

What does being popular give me anyway?

Probably headaches and no time to be alone,

Tons of drama and wasted minutes on the phone.

Yes, I care about my grades and I don’t drink.

Why? Well, because I don’t care what others think

And I intend to make the most of what I got.

So, no I have no desire to do pot.

I prefer not to allow my brain rot

And give my future an actual shot.

You think I’m a “goody goody,” that I’m “lame?”

Well that’s fine with me; I’m not ashamed.

I have to do what pleases God, not you.

And if you don’t like it, well then, that’s your issue.

I’m perfect in His eyes.

That’s all that matters. not your lies.
