Forget the world!

16 years in the making and I’m still alive
But it’s not cause’ I sit around, its cause’ I strive
To do something better than your average Joe
I will never stop striving for something more 

I just want to do something better with my life
I don’t see why you’re giving me so much strife
You just have to do what you have to do
Remember I’m trying to be me not trying to be yo
uSo if you please don’t mind can you please back away?
I’m sick of you bashing my dreams all day every day
I don’t need you to tell me what I can’t be
So why don’t you quit and try to support me?
I don’t need you to guide me every day
I can do better without you who needs you anyways?
You think you’re the reason I’, where I am?
Ha you’re a joke; you’re going out on a limb
A limb that I’ll break if you don’t stop this sabotage
I will take you down, don’t worry it’s free,I don’t charge
To fix a mistake that some imbecile decided to create
I tell everybody the truth about you every day! 

16 years in the making and I’m still alive
But it’s not cause’ I sit around, its cause’ I strive
To do something better than your average Joe
I will never stop striving for something more 

Than a dead in job sitting behind a desk
I want to make music, making no second guess
Behind my reasoning for my treasoning
Against the “healthy and normal” way of living
And I don’t see how you can be giving
To a destructive social gathering
That is telling you immaculate lies
And forcing these lies into your ears and eyes
So if you can’t accept that I’m gonna be different
Then you are going to find yourself a bit incoherent
With what is going on in your life
While you are gonna have to try
To find a job to support your wife
Me and mine will be living the good life
Money will mean little when you have happiness
And me and her will be more than glad with

50k a year making records for the big ones
And eventually having our own children
And they will lead on my legacy
And only then will you truly see
How if you would have just listened
And did not try to dismiss it
As pointless, spiteful, empty advice
You could be here with me, living the good life. 

16 years in the making and I’m still alive
But it’s not cause’ I sit around, its cause’ I strive
To do something better than your average Joe
I will never stop striving for something more
