Why be smart, when all they want is pretty
Why speak truth, when all they want is lies
Why be courageous, when all they want is a coward
Why question the narrative, when all they want is blind approval
Why be real, when all they want is fake
Why stand up for what’s right, when all they want is for you to get in line
Why keep trying, when all they want is for you to give up
Why speak out, when they want you to stay quiet
Why take the difficult path, when the easier one is right in front of you?
Because if I didn’t, I wouldn’t be me…
Fuck no, I won’t do what they told me...
Be You
Then take all that other stuff everyone else wants you to be, put in a box... and set it on fire.
