We try so hard to control the past
But the past is gone is it not
So why waste our time on something that already occurred
Instead of moving forward like we were meant to do
And you wonder why we walk with a limp
Instead of taking long strides with just as much pride
Well I'll tell you why ,cause it clear you're blind
We stagger forward because we can't let go of the dead weight
You know the struggle that should of been left behind
And I know what many of y'all are thinking right now
"why would I forget the past that made who I am"
Well see there I'm not telling you to forget it
Because the past is the key to the future
It is what will guide us to the next step of life
So let the past do what it was meant to
Let it be your guidance
And not a ten thousand pound boulder that holds you back
Don't let the pass force you to crawl
Stand tall
Look it in the eyes and say,"I conquered you"
Because that's what you should do
That's what we all should do
Become the master of our past and use it to look forward to the future
I promise you it's ten times better than being on the floor
