Before that day in 97
Before I was even a thought
If I could have intervened
I would have said leave me be
New to, the world here what goes on
You slowly, start dying from the second, your born
Sickness, sadness, death then, life goes on
Failures, disappointments are, seemingly endless
Complications, frustrations, madness injustices
And that barely scratched the surface
And that barely scratched the surface
And that barely scratched the surface
Once your here there's so much to learn, it still makes my head spin
All of life's complexities they can be, overwhelming
Like perception is the way you'll be seen facial features social status, the shade of your skin
Dictate the way you'll be treated in human interactions
But Ambition is the needed motivation to overcome, the misfortunes of, your current situation
You make it out never to return, you lose yourself and the one, you wanted to be
Cuz at the top it's corruption greed, lies deceit, slavery
Then you realize, it was all vanity
Oh I see it all
I know what it is
And I don't wanna be, here
Oh I see it all
I know what it is
And I don't wanna be
