Stop Playing This Game

Stop playing that game 

Stop it 
Just stop
 Don’t live at the bottom because you feel others are at the top 
Stop it 
Just stop 

Stop playing this game I once called heartache 
Don’t get so tied up where your heart decides to discriminate 

Stop trying to fit in  
A diamond could never camouflage with a yard of rocks 
How will others be set free when you’re the key and their locked 

Locked inside of stern harsh pressure 
Locked in a dream that's not their own 
Locked in a life where they are tormented forever 

Stop feeling this hurt before it becomes real 
Be the one eagle that all think doesn't exist, just live 

Stop you are your families unknown future 
It is you who is paving many avenues and ways
It is you the misunderstood one that they look up to 

Stop it 
Just stop 

You don't know who you inspired 
You may be spark that start another fire 
A fire that must burn and never be controlled 
A fire inspired by the misunderstood one who never knew the power of his soul
The power of his own ambition 
The powers of the scars and the story they tell
The power of feeling heaven when life doesn't wish you well 
Stop it just stop 

It is you who is designed to fight to be at the top 
It is you that knows how to suffer and still push on 
It is you who knows what it's like fall but dreams and aspirations keep you strong 

So stop it 
Just stop
