Happiness
How many people a day do you let affect what you decide?
trying to please everyone is a slippery, slippery slide
the irony is, most people are just projecting what they’re trying to hide
no one can like you, unless you are you, I thought that was implied
people talk regardless, so you might as well stay true to what’s inside
listen to your intuition, let it be your guide
we get one life, the worst words are… I wish I would have tried…
some men die at 30 but aren’t buried until they’re 75
chasing the world and letting their convictions subside
I’ll be happy when I buy this, when I get that, all else aside
you wont ever be rich until you have something money can’t buy
Because there’s always something new, materialism is a perpetual ride
So, do what you love and find a way for the money to coincide!
What if I told you this all comes down to one thing... pride
because where there’s ego, self-righteousness usually resides
instead of accepting what we’re given and just taking a dive
let’s create an environment where self awareness and creativity can thrive
the rules were meant to be broken, never feel obliged to abide...
But remember, happiness is a journey, don’t ever expect to arrive
