Lyrics Be the Bigger Person in Every Situation - Calm.

Be the Bigger Person in Every Situation

He falls asleep wide awake, deep in denial, his eyes start to quake
His retinas crack and water comes out, he forgot about tears emotional drought
He threw so many people under the bus the bus rolled over
By the past he got pulled over
He had a double date with destiny but gave her a cold shoulder
Like the general who bought fame and sold his soldiers
This ain’t bootstrap theory, mom was on section 8 clearly
I let the snakes near me cause it keeps the fakes away they fear me
Blackmailed by capitalism the boots are off
Gun to your head dancing like Astaire or Baryshnikov
Life’s a verse hope it doesn’t Enron, off you someone Madoff
Each breath is a Ponzi scheme I’m trying to keep death paid off
The game doesn’t take a day off, I know what time it is no JR, no playoffs
This is final, right side of the piano I’m trying to end on a high note
It’s easy to hate, it’s easy to blame, it’s easy to just want wealth and fame
If you don’t wake, the result is the same, you’ll lose what you built if your
egos not tamed
He points his finger and spins in a circle, screaming hate till his tongue
turns purple
He can’t take the L and fucking own it, he can’t look in the mirror and face
his opponent
It takes courage to look yourself in the eye, it takes courage to murder your
pride
If takes courage to forgive yourself, when your ego just wants you to blame
everyone else
I had to learn to take responsibility, admit defeat and I had to learn to
patience
I had to learn not to take the bait and be the bigger person in every situation
Admit defeat, take responsibility, don’t blame, fuck bullying, fuck homophobia,
fuck transphobia
Call out racism, punch a nazi, do the right thing, throw a brick at Sals pizza
shop
Think about why he wants to fight you, drive that drunk person home call them a
cab
We’re all not perfect, we’re shot through with contradiction
No one is perfect, Missy Elliot, forgive, audit your ego, fuck backstabbing
Fuck gossip, fuck rumors, be happy with yourself, fuck pride
Took my friend to the methadone clinic even though he stole from me
No one believes an ego maniac
Humility makes the best storyteller
