I'm so prone to fall in deception, the feast for something more
The unhealthy obsession, I'm craving for the more
But I'm in need of redemption
Like who am I? I'm just a peasant
Yet He swooped down and placed me in a land Most pleasant
And now He graces me beside Him and now calls me a resident
Looking in this mirror and I'm Mind blown, cause look at me
I'm pathetic, I'm huge fore headed
I have nothing good within me but with me still Comes aesthetic
Looking in this mirror thinking "damn I'm a fine knight"
Forgetting that really I'm just so finite
Claiming to be shinning so bright
But I'm in the absence of light
But when light shone realizing my skin might be As dark as midnight
But you can still call me the stark kid of the light
Cause it's not the outward appearance
But Rather the thing that's within that makes me the fiercest
Be Yourself! I, dont want to be me!
Be Yourself! It's not what I want.
Be Yourself! I, dont want to be me!
Be Yourself! It's not what I want.
As I'm induced in wealth and introduced to self
I tried to sell my soul but realized that I lost it trying to buy the World
Like a fingerprint I found that life is unique
If I'm to be myself who t is it that I seek?
Yet it's easier to live It just like a trace
I forget life is precious how it can disappear without even a trace
Just like the birth of another and The joy of a mother
Both can leave and reappear with such great haste
My existence will not boast in independence
No, rather I only stand because I'm in dependent of love
I get attached to things, that I cannot have
Like the reason For your laugh, or even the feeling of love
Its something I cannot grasp
But the things I love in life aren't even Things at all
They no have color, nor are they even tall
The things that I truly enjoy aren't even tangable
But they Seem to last forever that's why they're ethereal
Simple thoughts I think of eating cereal
Working on my internal While joining up with the one who's eternal
That's why I got to start with this dude in the mirror
Confronting my pain and removing my fear
I got to be real
Yet it's like I'm looking in this mirror still not facing myself
Its about the simple things, ignoring your phone when It rings
Rejoice every morning when your lover sings
But most of all it's about enjoying all things that God brings
One dude I went with to elementary
Is now sitting 25 to life in a penitentiary
A matter of fact a lot of my friends Have been to CY
They think the country hates them
But they're too darkened to see why
Now tell me how you Feeling
Better than a villain hanging on a chandelier on my momma's really cool ceiling
As she's cooking my Favorite meal in her new kitchen
Lord willing I'll be chilling 25 to life
Without the fear of my peers chasing me With a knife
Unlike Franz I want to be in France
Eating saffron, I sat on just to let you know
That the path I was On was not wrong
