Don't Wanna Be |
| I take life for granted, made mistakes in the past |
| Don’t want to harbour so much hate in my heart |
| Found my way through the dark |
| And only by closing my open eyes and taking a chance |
| I wanna make my family proud |
| And show those that I love that I ain’t standing round |
| I hate backing down, hate lashing out |
| Hate that I hate so much — what is this hate rant about?! |
| I don’t wanna be this negative person |
| Pessimistic, perfectionist obsessively working |
| Always anxiety ridden |
| It’s like my mind’s in Rhyme Asylum inside of a prison |
| It’s a blessing and a curse |
| I just want us heard and to get the respect that we deserve |
| I need to stop and breathe |
| Cos in reality there ain’t nothing stopping me be what I wanna be |
| Don’t make me be, don’t make me be |
| Don’t make me be, don’t make me be |
| I’mma go it alone, on my own rowing this boat |
| No-one to throw me a rope |
| Feel like I’m lost at sea |
| Tryna make waves, on this endless expanse of monotony |
| And I gotta be what I wanna be |
| Or else it’s like telling my heart not to beat |
| Telling my lungs not to breathe |
| Inspirations an island just beyond my reach |
| Chances are few and far between |
| On an ocean with nowhere to plant my seeds |
| And you reap what you sow |
| It’s getting dark, I keep an eye on my beacon of hope |
| Hope in every vein and capillary |
| My message in a bottle is my name on the pages of history |
| I got two ores |
| One named determination and the others name is ability |
| This me ain’t the way that I wanna be |
| Now I know its the way that I gotta be |
| I’ve had my heart broken before |
| Another persons actions controlling my emotions and thought |
| Love is a battlefield — I’m a soldier at war |
| People saying «I don’t know him no more» |
| The old me’s dead and gone, I got away with murdering him |
| So my split personality holding the fort |
| Now I gotta look deep |
| My older said «don't regret anything that makes you smile that’s how it should |
| be» |
| And so I took heed |
| Now I live my life, a different guy but miss the nights I could sleep |
| Thinking isn’t it funny |
| I used to be in control but I’m driven by women and money |
| In this eternal search for a pot of gold |
| Where I’ve lost my soul and my hearts gotten cold |
