Bigger Than Me
I don't care if you're smaller or bigger than me
I don't care if you're poorer or richer than me
I don't care if you're healthier or sicker than me
I treat everyone the same no one differs from me
We're all born different but when we die it's the same
We disappear into bones only our legacy will remain
If you had a chance would you go to church to tell all your confessions?
If you're a racist does it bother you, Knowing you may be buried to someone with a different skin complexion?
If you hate someone because they're gay or because they have darker skin
Then I don't want you near me or to know what state your heart is in
I don't judge people based off unimportant or insignificant things
Black, white, Asian, Tall, Fat, short, skinny, every woman is a queen and every man is a king
You know what's funny to me?
You think you're better because you have more money than me
But you blame others, while I pay for my mistakes
I hold my hands up, Hands that you think you're too good to shake
We all have different targets and hope to hit different goals
But we breathe the same air, Eat the same food, wear the same clothes
Why would I hate someone because they're a different race or were born in another city?
Sadly this ugliness still exists, I just hope to make it look more pretty
I don't care where you're from that doesn't matter to me
I don't care if you're taller or fatter than me
I don't care what colour your skin is, your flaws or your whereabouts
What's inside your heart and your actions are all I care about
I don't care if you're smaller or bigger than me
I don't care if you're poorer or richer than me
I don't care if you're healthier or sicker than me
I treat everyone the same no one differs from me
