Open your mind and open your eyes.
Everybody lives their own life.
Don't be afraid to live yours.
Acceptance and understanding breaks the walls down. 

Optimism is a prison locked away from ambition, missing the light of day, [bad word] life away and we listen to what they got to say that we won't amount to anything but it's bull [bad word]  so turn your head and look the other way. I wear the X and you label me a gang member, that's because you don't know any [bad word] better.
My heart is croakin', 'cause you won't open your mind and take the time to understand why I have so much pride in myself.

I'm pushing on right through your doubt, I'm gonna follow my heart until my [bad word] out. I'm gonna do it for myself and nobody else, 'cause if I don't live life my way then I failed.
 [bad word] living the American Dream...that [bad word] ain't for me.
You want me to feel guilty 'cause I don't have a [bad word] day job.
Well kiss my [bad word]  I don't go to your work and smack the broom out your hand.
See I'm not sorry about the fact I don't let money define me, living life my own way and you're not even trying.
Making sacrifices doing up something you hate, but I'm not gonna wait and let my life be wasted away.
So what, you got some cash?
What the [bad word] does that prove?
I got a mic and a voice and nothing to lose so I'm gonna try and open eyes and guide this blind world through.
Your saying that I'm a lost cause, I'm saying [bad word] YOU!
We're just different so learn to respect that, I'll fight for my beliefs so bite your tongue before you speak, [bad word] 
I said we're different so learn to respect that, I don't want to live like you I'm gonna live like me.

I'm pushing on right through your doubt, I'm gonna follow my heart until my [bad word] out. I'm gonna do it for myself and nobody else, 'cause if I don't live life my way then I failed.

Open your mind and open your eyes.
Everybody lives their own life.
Don't be afraid to live yours.
Acceptance and understanding breaks the walls down.

Your failing to realize that your missing out on life, always bringing others down cause you're never satisfied with who you are, standing far apart from who you want to be, so critisize yourself before you critisize me, it's to the point that I can't see this world succeeding but bleeding and leaving everything behind cause we couldn't be kind to one another.
We some heartless mother [bad word] leaving a generation suffering and lost in self [bad word]  let me ask you something: 
"When was the last time that you felt, that your life was in your hands and not a hand being dealt?
You let this world die away but I'm gonna keep my hope at least I tried to reach out and speak my piece of mind. You can't help a life that doesn't want to be helped, so take all your bets and put it all on yourself 'cause that's the only one that you can count on, make a change for the better before this world is dead and [bad word] on.
