lyrics

I never thought I’d find my way
Growing up with indirection
No role models there to say
That I’d soon make a connection
I always struggled to project
Stumbling over words and what to say
I thought that others were made perfect
Impossible even to meet them half way
And that’s when you cam into my life
Opened up and showed me that you cared
Spent the time to sharpen the knife
That carved me into what I am and made me feel prepared

It isn’t easy being who you want to be
Others pushing their priorities
If you fail to set your course
The only thing you’ll see
Is another man’s agenda
Will tell you who to be

I know I had a few believers
Friends and family guide me towards the lights
They tried to act in my best interest
Hoping that someday I’d see what’s right
It wasn’t always what I needed
Some will try to hurt you out of spite
Some show love in knowing I succeeded
Some will never dare to say that I was right to fight, so
It isn’t easy being who you want to be
Others pushing their priorities
If you fail to set your course
The only thing you’ll see
Is another man’s agenda
Will tell you who to be

[Rap feature]

It isn’t easy being who you want to be
Others pushing their priorities
If you fail to set your course
The only thing you’ll see
Is another man’s agenda
Will tell you who to be
