I realize for something great I was created
Music's my life and for a long time I have waited
To break free, and live the life that I can see
As my [bad word] to life, just fighting to be me

I believe in something greater then self
I believe, there's more to livin' life then tryin' to get wealth
More to life, then simply working hard to only get by
More to death, then what we think when every one of us dies

There's more around then we can see, not caught by the eye
See, I might have started walking but I was born to fly
World it might have clipped my wings, but that don't mean I won't try
My feet, they may be on the ground, but my heads in the sky

Gotta dream in my heart, and a gleam in my eye
Dropping beats from my birth, till the day that I die
And though life is hard, I always keep my face to the sky
Looking up to heaven knowing everything will be fine

I've made up my mind, my life is decided
I write the words and in me music's simply provided
I'd like to take the credit but I know that I'm guided
Now every track blows up, like if two trains have collided

You know,
I wasn't simply created, to live a life under-rated
To trip and fall in the system, to live a life full of hatred
To blindly agree pay all your dues
Man you better be careful, cause there's a whole lot to lose

The world an evil place and man it's easy to use it
That why half the time I stay low and I keep on my music
But like everything else, I'm careful not to abuse it
So that I'm not caught in the hype, give up my love, of worse, lose it, and now

I realize for something great I was created
Music's my life and for a long time I have waited
To break free, and live the life that I can see
As my [bad word] to life, just fighting to be me

It can be tough but I am always moving on
And with each step you'll find me moving with my song
And I know one day I'll open up my eyes
And then my time [bad word]  you'll see me start rise

It's time to take music back
Take it back to when the lyrics had some meaning
Not continual demeaning
Time to set it back on track
But every time I try to rise again I find I'm up under an attack

People crying out because they want something fresh
But the music is dead, girls just show flesh
I want something with meaning so I'll rise and protest
I fed up living life with all the things I detest

And now everybody's fake
Almost no one real
And I don't even care about a signed record deal
Livin' lies so large man it's almost unreal
I tell it like it is, it's just the way I feel

And now young kids give it up, throw their lives away
All because they listen to the stupid things we say
But then they grow up, and they learn, and they pray
And rehabilitation costs a billion a day

I'm tired of hearing that I cannot be free
I'm tired of hearing that I shouldn't even want to be me
People still are having problems with the colour of my skin
Hey but I'm OK, I take it on the chin

Man this is life, some things are messed up
My glass is half full, some don't even have a cup
Every day I thank God, as [bad word] through this race
And do something with my life, before I leave this place, now

I realize for something great I was created
Music's my life and for a long time I have waited
To break free, and live the life that I can see
As my [bad word] to life, just fighting to be me

It can be tough but I am always moving on
And with each step you'll find me moving with my song
And I know one day I'll open up my eyes
And then my time [bad word]  you'll see me start rise

Political correctness is the way of the day
But I'm not afraid, so let me say
The problem isn't us, the problem is you
Stop blaming other people and look at th
