Be Yourself
These are the lyrics to my video.
- Just a young kid, turned to a man
- Looking at the world, I’m just dreaming in my head
- All the people, races, different physiques
- Yet the overriding goal is to eliminate the weak
- Yes we all are unique, but we fail to part our paths because we fear the streets
- But not from the concrete or the breeze
- It’s the separation from those who we are taught to be
- Got million dollar cars but can’t even read
- Judge our neighbors by their watches and the shoes on their feet
- You see, it’s the labels people seek
- Always trying to make a name but really they are not unique
- Submissive to the masses, afraid to even speak
- living in a “one-track” mind that’s killing us deep
- Improvisation, migration, animation,
- We live in a backwards nation, we will never achieve such expectations
- Cuz we condemn the complications, the alterations, explorations
- Someday, somebody told us, the reflection in the mirror is what controls us
- Where our happiness and wellbeing, is defined by those who see it, and not what we believe in
- We sacrifice our knowledge for the artificial wealth
- We appraise the stealth but it doesn’t bring us health
- But what’s class without intelligence
- And what’s success without excellence
- Yeah the world can seem venomous
- Always feeling restless cuz you feel you are irrelevant
- But hey, that’s just the unpleasantness,
- Of a society that is still developing
- But as individuals we must strive to become prevalent
- And make the recklessness turn into eloquence
- It's funny cuz when you take off the mask you find the beauty in the beast
- I ask why you pass up the originals for the photocopy
- I want the hard copy, not the double CC
- Why paint a bunch of same pictures when we all should compete
- Cuz there’s beauty in our difference
- Brilliance, in our resilience
- From many surroundings, we all can bring a different piece
- Because the puzzle isn’t complete unless we all write our names on it and get rid of the disease
- Man we are our own police, we just gotta V-I-V-E,
- And that’s living with our name on our sleeves,
- And not letting our appearance or our opinions be stolen by society
- Because all that pain and anguish built up inside,
- Will only be relieved when you collide and unbind from the corruptive worldwide
- There’s no such thing as a mastermind
- So be yourself, and you will shine
- So be yourself, and you will shine.
