Perspective

Pound for pound I’m like an ounce away from being great

But an ounce is starting to feel like a 3-pound paperweight

I look around and all I see and hear is fake

There ain’t enough silicone in the world for “them” to take shape

 

They say the sky is the limit

So I’m building me a scraper that I can escape to when I need a minute

The world is ******* me off lately - let’s face it

People are filled with hatred and most just fake it

 

My perspective is my own I write down what I know - it’s how I grow

I’m not trying to break the mold, I’m just trying to be bold

I don’t like it when people brag about themselves – I think they sold their souls

I surround myself with friends and followers, not gold!

 

Don’t get me wrong, I’ll take your money;

It’s funny how the world turns, but I don’t do what I’m told

It only takes once or twice to realize that fire burns

After a while the fire turns - I quit playing with it, but you don’t
