Lets put something in perspective ------ because this is no longer an elective

Finding you is an objective so I guess that makes me a detective

Now I know you’re protective --- but let's focus on the directive

I have continuously searched for you in countless places

We define you with everyone elses definition, when you are a completely different prescription

SIGH

You’re SELF DEFINED

We first met and it happened accidentally

I was around nine, and you left me standing there unpleasantly

I justified your actions with DESTINY

When in reality you were a completely different entity

To this day we have yet to encounter each other in the same recipe

But don’t worry I won't let this get the best of me

You’re lack of appearance has caused people to define you

They told me college, education, and money are the only way to find you

Your illusion has played out so well, you’ve practically made my life hell

Now because your appearance is so vague, your assumed image is spreading like a plague

You happened to be in every conversation, avoiding you is like an IRS tax evasion

I’ve at least heard about about you in airports, malls, even bus stations

I seem to have missed you every time, I wasn't sure if I could predict your next crime

I even decided to search for you in a higher learning institutions but statistics say  even if I find you it would be a temporary illusion

Are you hiding in money, college, or education?

If you hide in money you should ashamed, because you would have a reputation

I would call you the soulless bastard who hides in economic discrimination.

Or in other words humanity’s abomination

Money has made us so we are collective, always checking our bank accounts making happiness subjective

Labeling us using income brackets, like a 20 cent man in a million dollar jacket

Students with holes in their shoes show up to classes while millionaires try to avoid taxes

If not money then education?

Your techniques are cunning, sometimes they even taste like honey

Now if you're hiding in education I would still call you a soulless bastard who hides in economic discrimination

Quality education ain’t free and those of the lower income brackets can’t afford it so why should I support it?

So humanity’s abomination, where could you be?

How far are you willing to go an to what degree?

Now let me tell you that I don’t fear you rather I resent your public image

You have given everyone hope but fail to help the family in the village

Our game of hide and seek has changed my perception of how to find you, if you can even be found

You also changed the approach to my goals and made them more profound

You may not be a materialistic object but your still a vision

Society continues to search for you but you seem to be an incompletable mission

Now I’m tired of you and your illusion, why don’t we clear up the confusion

College, education, and money are not the only ways to find you

Just because everyone told us those were the the only places you hid, doesn’t mean they were where we would find you

YOU’RE SELF DEFINED, you vary from person to person every time

SUCCESS I WILL FIND YOU, BUT MAYBE NOT TODAY!

Instead of looking for evidence, why don't e become the proof

Why doubt the abilities we possess, when we can define our success.

I hope you understand that success is limitless with endless possibilities

Success Does not have one definition, it’s self defined

Who’s standard were you using yours or mine?

Very few people understand that POOR IS NOTHING BUT A STATE OF MIND, SUCCESS HAS NO LIMITATIONS AND CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED ANYTIME

Since most of you have experienced success, was it your definition or someone elses’

You need to understand that success is what you shape and design it to be, it can be anything you want; SO WHAT WILL YOU DO WITH IT?
