A Better Me
Someday I’ll be away from you
One day I will be able to breath
I wait for this day like an angel in a cell
I can’t wait to be free
They think I’ve got it okay
A roof, food, some clothes
Life isn’t always about material
Most people I thought would know
I love when the little things make me happy
It means I am not superficial
They continuously throw snotty looks my way
They wish their closure was the thing I’m into
I have a passion far more worthwhile
Than a millionaire or a dealer
My dream has to do with life
Which is something far realer
I have an edge to my step
Nothing compares to the rhythm
If somehow it suddenly goes off track
I move forward instead of miss it
Everyone is so freaking judgmental
Their lives must be dangerously corrupted
Who cares what their problem is
If they messed with others and loved it
I’d hate to be the rebound
On your fast pace of destruction
Love to test on the so called weak
We subtract from your reduction
I am higher than you in many ways
You are everything I am not
Hours and hours of playing games
While you feel your brain rot
Why should I care if you’re sorry
When did you deserve my grief
All those years you meddled and made fun
Since when did you turn a new leaf
No, never will I give in to you
I refuse to bow at your feet
I am done with your childish lifestyle
My new way is unique
