lyrics

VERSE ONE
A message to these rappers, why don’t you listen closely?
I get so disappointed when I am hearing mostly,
songs about shootin’ smoking, selling dope, sex,
standing in front of a whip, speaking on these subjects,
multiple people in the back wearing face masks,
licking shots in the air, counting up a fake stash of cash
and even got they youngen’s throwing signs up,
acting like a Graveyard is where they think these lines up,
next generation think it's cool and wanna do the same,
short sighted tunnel-vision focused on this hood fame,
and even if you were surround by this as a youth,
never let the bandwagon trick you from your inner truth,
you wanna say something, say something beautiful,
something to uplift your people, something irrefutable,
the irony is they have the autonomy to do what every
one is doing in a world that’s lacking with anomaly.


CHORUS (x2)
What doesn't kill you will make you stronger



VERSE TWO
A message to these friends, why don’t you listen closely?
I get so disappointed when I am hearing mostly,
what can you get for me, do for me, give to me?
In fact, why don’t you take my life and fucking live for me?
Looking for people showing compassion and empathy,
but show those people little compassion and empathy,
endlessly, helplessly, infinite dependency,
it may be unintentionally, but so relentlessly,
keep coming back with they hand out for handouts,
living in a bubble and incapable to branch out,
asking for a fifth last chance like it’s guaranteed,
oblivious to everything, they green like a bag of weed,
they need to do better, be better, live better,
treat people like you really love em’, it’s a free pleasure,
but I guess that they have the autonomy
to do what every one is doing in a world that’s lacking with anomaly.


CHORUS


VERSE THREE
A message to my peoples, why don’t you listen closely?
I’m never disappointed when I am hearing mostly,
people are standing up for themselves and for their rights,
for the weaker people who afraid without the heart to fight,
the one’s who make a difference, enhancing somebody’s life,
the one’s who take an interest, come together and unite,
and they believing in the strength of they own power,
but they still have faith in something higher and they no coward,
you beautiful, you make the world proud,
you make the world applaud, now you can take a bow,
and never let a crowd make you turn around
from everything you promised yourself you were all about,
and the hard times will still come,
but know that you can face them as a champion,
that’s real son,
cos I see you reaching vertically while you are watching horizontally,
then no one can ever stop you from being an anomaly.
