It wasn't always like this
I remember one time being in ignorant bliss
Blind to tha shine when u live with tha rich
Of course you're a dog if you live with a bitch
Or is it tha other way around and life's living with you
Either way we all have a mission to do
To find our identity while facing tha enemy
And walk thru tha depths to rise to infinity
But some get corroded as tha rocks at Yosimite
Other's get touched til they're socially fidgety
And succumbed to tha closed minded versions of mimicry
Which are tha same folks not getting they're limiting
Themselves wit closed means, blessings are blocked
Tha determining to if you learn tha lesson or not
And if tha answers no, you're do to repeat it
But if u wise up, then thats an achievement
CHORUS - Katie Shorey
Out of everything you did in life, it never meant a thing to me
Cuz in tha end when u see tha light, you'll know thats where u need to be
Cuz when its ending, thats a new beginning
Get real and stop pretending
VERSE 2 - Corn
Ask yourself, is this who you choose to be
Or would you change to whut you choose to see
Would you go back to whut you used to be
Or would you use your power to abuse tha weak
Because thats whut you know, so acknowledgement of this
Is a step in tha right, I promise that it is
If u been thru some, and seen it as true
Be thankful cuz without it, you wouldn't be you
SO lose tha 'tude, and put a smile on ya face
You don't have to like ya home, but be proud of tha place
On tha mountain you climbs to workout ya demons
To loosen up tha layers, and let them start peeling
No fight, no fuss, and no one to judge
Cuz on tha record of life we all got a smudge
Let go, don't be tha living day grudge
Cuz we don't give a. only a didn't say fudge
CHORUS - Katie
You may get this a lot
But don't pretend to be something you're not
Meaning be true, don't act a persona
When it comes to yo choices, u should be a owner
Wake up to tha world, instead of laying in a coma
And every now and then stop to take in tha aromas
Quit walking hard, or jogging wit a boner
Lookin for a space to divide in half, and I ain't talking Soma
