Never Be Nothing
Can you look into a mirror
Get a clear picture of what
Surely disappears no if's, and's or but's
All these people in my ear
Tellin me to stay down (Don't get up)
Just lay down, oh, for what
You didn't think we could make the cut
Didn't know that I could take this much
Can you blame for my hatefulness
You been doubted by the same as us
Misplaced in a race that sucks
Like you, they abandoned us
No trace, what a disgrace
Mislead, lookin for a place to lay
My head and feel safe
Change of pace when I'm dead
Don't waste a single tear, do not shed
Just know I'm leavin here as man who
Wasn't suppose to be in here and I'm glad
I finally got to beat the fear that I had
I don't wanna be here sometimes
Feel like I'm stuck in the wrong line
Long time it's been feelin lost, why?
Even try to abide to the false lies
It was never my intention
To be misunderstood
But if I don't stand for nothing
That must mean that I'm no good
I must have given off the wrong meaning
I'm so confused
But you never know what it's like
To win until you lose
It was never a game to us
Wasn't nobody playing at all
Time is all that seemed to change
And we're still standing tall
I remember when they told me
We would never be nothing
Who am I? Not sure of responses to formulate
Answers to questions asked what is a man?
Is he a hope of a fruitful future
Or the sum of a barren past
Through the looking glass
The perceptions off
But the image you behold of a broken sort
Of a puzzle man
Piece himself together so many times
Over time he become a few pieces short
Now he resort to drinking and drugs to vent
Slowly he descending from 100%
He becoming more in tune
With the things he against
While he's steady laying bricks
In the walls of resent
Now with all due respect
How can I unplug or disconnect
I don't wanna hurt no
Feelings or stop checks
I don't wanna give what's
Mine to who's next
Cause I worked to fucking hard for this
And I can't go back just forward from here
Can't take it all away or
Make it all disappear
Gonna wear my flaws like my has-been fears
To a throwback time that's far from clear
Say 20 20 vision come from hindsight
And the 2nd time around
Ya better get the shit right
(By the 3rd time around)
It could be quicker than a glance
Fuck around and might not get another chance
(I'm no good)
It was never my intention
To be misunderstood
But if I don't stand for nothing
That must mean that I'm no good
I must have given off the wrong meaning
I'm so confused
But you never know what it's like
To win until you lose
It was never a game to us
Wasn't nobody playing at all
Time is all that seemed to change
And we're still standing tall
I remember when they told me
We would never be nothing
(We would never be nothing)
