Pursue Yourself
We are worried about what society wants us to be
We are never ourselves and we are never free
Scared to act on our dreams
Society playing us into their schemes
We are constantly under peer pressure
Never fulfillng our true pleasure
The true successes did not care what others thought
Martin Luther King Jr. pursued his dreams and changed the world through all distraught
You see, it is important to live life on your own terms
Because if you don't, you might as well be living in the dirt with the worms
I hope to inspire others through this simple speech
I want others to be great and use their full reach
So get off your seat and go do your thing
Be that heayweight boxing champion with his hand raised in the ring.
