Yourself

It's funny isn't it? We all work so hard to be different, Which makes us all the same. We all play the same game. "I want to be the best!", "Better than the rest!", And in that quest, We are all united in the dream for difference. We all wish to be the hot new product, Wearing our new designer style Prada. So we can obtain attention we never got before, Thinking it'll make us feel a whole lot more... Special. And this is what brings all people together, We all want the same thing, To be a little different in this ring, We call society. So if you want to be different, Understand that everyone makes a difference. But you must do it in your own way, Don't just go out and copy Tina Fey. Because you do have something to offer, And you are special. But you are special in your own creativity, Not in your copycat version of Justin Bieber "Believe in Me". You are the superstar version of yourself, But not when you are trying to copy someone else. Be the UFC superstar you dream of, But don't think you can copy Anderson Silva. Because he has fought his journey and chased his own dreams. But now it's time for you, To show them where you set the bar to. Let everyone else try to copy you, From North America to Timbuktu . Be the best, But don't copy the rest. Role models are great to have, They are what set the bar. But that bar can be a ceiling that isn't too far. Making your potential smaller than it could have been, Because you looked up to your father whose cleaning out a trash bin. With a potential greater than Einstein, Your working at McDonald's looking up to the supervisor with overtime. With more power and strength than King Kong, You're sitting at home playing with your ding. Be more than the rest, And be better than the best, By being... Yourself
