You Are'nt the Lesser


Just stop with the whole I don’t care about life stuff,

Get up and stop being lazy, your life isn’t that rough,

Grew up in a country, where poverty is of the lesser,

Lived in a country, where freedom reigns; it is refuge,

No matter what you may be going through, take a step back,

Are you really the one with less stuff then her,

Do you really not have a bugatti to drive,

Is that really what shows that you thrive,

Success is not a number it’s faithful labor,

Can you not see that you really live where everyone wants to be,

Let’s just say that you have it all,

Let’s not look at the guy who’s tall,

You have it all if you have a heart,

Don’t lose it all by not doing your part,  

Don’t lose it all like you can in an instant,

Don’t fear you’ll fall; someone will be there to pick you up,

This is what’s up, your mind may try an trick you,

Follow your heart, stay true to your part,

Laziness will only bring you down,

Fight it before it tears you down,

And take a look at what you have, before you look at what others have.
