In this Society
Living in this society
Where everyday is a different battle
a battle to be true to you
a battle to not giving up
or not giving in
trying to keep your head above water
when everyone is trying to pull you down
trying to better yourself
but everyone is trying to keep you where you are
Living in this society
where you can't trust anyone
families turning their backs
friends stabbing you in the back
Living in the society
where the government is currupt
making you promises that they dont intend to keep
picking on the lower class
knocking them off their feet
steeling from your contry
involved in conspiracies
Living in this contry
where its hard to just be you
media sets the standards
the people make the expectaions
and if you fall short
your an outcast
living in this society
is becoming hard
its becoming difficult to be what people expect
its excruciating trying to block out who you are
to become someone else
thats why im blocking out society
to just be me
to reach my goals
and follow my dreams
