[00:22.35]I take life for granted, made mistakes in the past
[00:24.76]Don’t want to harbour so much hate in my heart [You feel me?]
[00:27.36]Found my way through the dark
[00:29.48]And only by closing my open eyes and taking a chance
[00:32.80]I wanna make my family proud
[00:34.79]And show those that I love that I ain’t standing round
[00:38.86]I hate backing down, hate lashing out
[00:40.98]Hate that I hate so much – what is this hate rant about?!
[00:44.33]I don’t wanna be this negative person
[00:46.94]Pessimistic, perfectionist obsessively working
[00:49.81]Always anxiety ridden
[00:51.63]It’s like my mind’s in Rhyme Asylum inside of a prison
[00:55.34]It’s a blessing and a curse
[00:57.56]I just want us heard and to get the respect that we deserve
[01:00.88]I need to stop and breathe
[01:02.84]Cos in reality there ain’t nothing stopping me be what I wanna be
[01:07.11]
[01:07.45]Don’t make me be, don’t make me be
[01:21.36]Don’t make me be, don’t make me be
[01:28.51]
[01:28.81]I'mma go it alone, on my own rowing this boat
[01:32.32]No-one to throw me a rope
[01:34.49]Feel like I'm lost at sea
[01:36.39]Tryna make waves, on this endless expanse of monotony
[01:40.20]And I gotta be what I wanna be
[01:42.71]Or else it’s like telling my heart not to beat
[01:45.47]Telling my lungs not to breathe
[01:47.94]Inspirations an island just beyond my reach
[01:50.99]Chances are few and far between
[01:54.00]On an ocean with nowhere to plant my seeds
[01:56.98]And you reap what you sow
[01:58.83]It’s getting dark, I keep an eye on my beacon of hope
[02:02.06]Hope in every vein and capillary
[02:04.11]My message in a bottle is my name on the pages of history
[02:07.58]I got two ores
[02:09.49]One named determination and the others name is ability
[02:14.18]
[02:14.71]Don’t make me be, don’t make me be
[02:26.59]Don’t make me be, don’t make me be
[02:35.92]
[02:36.16]This me ain't the way that I wanna be
[02:38.23]Now I know its the way that I gotta be
[02:41.15]I've had my heart broken before
[02:43.36]Another persons actions controlling my emotions and thought
[02:46.97]Love is a battlefield - I'm a soldier at war
[02:49.70]People saying "I don't know him no more"
[02:52.01]The old me's dead and gone, I got away with murdering him
[02:55.02]So my split personality holding the fort
[02:57.93]Now I gotta look deep
[02:59.45]My older said "don't regret anything that makes you smile that's how it should be"
[03:04.07]And so I took heed
[03:05.36]Now I live my life, a different guy but miss the nights I could sleep
[03:09.43]Thinking isn't it funny
[03:11.24]I used to be in control but I'm driven by women and money
[03:14.76]In this eternal search for a pot of gold
[03:17.51]Where I've lost my soul and my hearts gotten cold
[03:23.92]Don’t make me be, don’t make me be
[03:34.93]Don’t make me be, don’t make me be
