(hmmm,
yeah)
I spent years trying to become what they wanted,
Wearing different faces just to feel important,
Chasing somebody else's picture of success,
Until I realized it never made me feel blessed.
I don't need their life,
I don't need their road,
I don't need to carry somebody else's load,
I just need to become the man I respect,
The kind who keeps his word and never forgets.
I don't need to be them,
I just need to be me,
Strong enough to choose what I believe,
I stopped comparing, stopped keeping score,
And started becoming what I was searching for.
My journey doesn't have to look like theirs,
My dreams don't need to fit their stairs,
If I wake up knowing I gave my best,
Then I can leave the rest to time and let it rest.
I don't need to be them,
I just need to be me,
Strong enough to choose what I believe,
I stopped comparing, stopped keeping score,
And started becoming what I was searching for.
Now I'm building without pretending,
Growing without constantly defending,
The greatest success I could ever achieve Is becoming the person I
once needed to believe.
(yeah,
just be you)
