Lyrycyst You Can Be
Here's what they tell me, Steady on my trail as they trail me.
Don't just sell me, If there's more somebody compel me.
Don't you fail me. None of these answers have helped me,
And I stand with bullet wounds From these lies they shell me.
Here we go, Follow majority crowd,
But how can I stand with you when you keep fallin down?
There's poverty, violence, babies dyin' in silence,
And I'm supposed to find, it's perfectly fine when I write this;
There's something here missin, I'm sick of near missin'.
So if you have ears listen, I'll paint a clear vision.
I don't know about you, But I believe that it's true.
That we can all make a difference
No Matter What They Say Because
You can be more than they tell you.
Just think for yourself, Don't let 'em sell you, Just think for yourself.
And you can be more than they show you, Don't let 'em control you.
There is truth, don't let say that nobody told you.
You can be more than they tell you.
Just think for yourself, Don't let 'em sell you, Just think for yourself.
And you can be more than they show you, Don't let 'em control you.
There is truth, don't say that nobody told you.
I watched these artists for years, I make the music my life.
Got swallowed, parted with tears, Beause I was sucked in the hype.
Don't doubt with nothin'.
But the holes on my back, froze in my tracks,
Everybody thought I was whack,
Because I neva got to roll with a Gat.
(But Hold up!)
I'm not from the hood, But life wasn't good.
And all I wanted was somebody to show me life how it should be.
Maybe just how it could be, Relate to me with love.
But the only artist that I trusted, Showed me nothing but drugs.
(So did mama)
I'm hurtin, 'Cause the world don't really wanna purpose,
I'm nervous, Can't be another person that searchin, lost in another circus?
The hearses keep on droppin', Another rapper dies,
Can you tell me how many more times, Until we finally change our minds?
To you artists that I used to love,
Used to support, Used to write and record, just to be like you.
It's more than All the music, All the money, All the fame,
And the cubists don't be stupid,
It's the message and the way that you use it.
You can be more than they tell you.
Just think for yourself, Don't let 'em sell you, Just think for yourself.
And you can be more than they show you, Don't let 'em control you.
There is truth, don't let say that nobody told you.
You can be more than they tell you.
Just think for yourself, Don't let 'em sell you, Just think for yourself.
And you can be more than they show you, Don't let 'em control you.
There is truth, don't say that nobody told you.
Oops, there goes another, life thrown in the gutter,
Nine-year in hunger, that's right, we're goin under.
It's hard, it gets harder, we're farther, a bit farther,
There's families that fight remember life with no father.
Music was a way to escape, I never thought I'd be great,
Or create something I could add to this plate.
It's so easy to get caught in these things that you make,
And lose the focus on reality, and all that's at stake.
Cause when you're faced with a decision, know it's hard to be strong.
When you hear it turn the radio on, and sing along 'cause
You can be more than they tell you.
Just think for yourself, Don't let 'em sell you, Just think for yourself.
And you can be more than they show you, Don't let 'em control you.
It all starts with you.
You can be more than they tell you.
Just think for yourself, Don't let 'em sell you, Just think for yourself.
And you can be more than they show you, Don't let 'em control you.
There is truth, don't say that nobody told you.
You can be more than they tell you.
Just think for yourself, Don't let 'em sell you, Just think for yourself.
And you can be more than they show you, Don't let 'em control you.
There is truth, don't say that nobody told you.
You can be more than they tell you.
Just think for yourself, Don't let 'em sell you, Just think for yourself.
And you can be more than they show you, Don't let 'em control you.
There is truth, don't say that nobody told you.
You can be more than they tell you.
Just think for yourself, Don't let 'em sell you, Just think for yourself.
And you can be more than they show you, Don't let 'em control you.
There is truth, don't say that nobody told you.
(You can be... You can be... You can be...)
It all starts with you.
