Meant for More

Will I lead
Will I be
What I've been
Called to be
What'll I be
What'll I be
Will I lead
Will I be
What I've been
Called to be
What'll I be
What'll I be

He puts on his headphones
His home away from home
That he can't quite leave
Cause he's not quite grown
When the beat hits
Speakers start to blast rhymes
He calms down like the eye of a cat five
Parents don't neglect him
Peers don't disrespect him
His heart's not broke
Girlfriend didn't reject him
Flipping through tracks
Helps keep him on track
To focus on the future and
Move on from the past
Confidence from the hype raps
Hope from the light raps
Strength in the words
Finding courage to fight back
Anxiety
Depression
Fear
Doubt
Deception
And self-hatred of an inward projection
If music is the most effective therapy session
Crank it up and let it heal
That would be my suggestion
To anybody going through it
Anybody hearing this
I feel your pain cause I'm speaking from experience

I've often wondered
What it will take me
To just feel normal
To fit
Be mortal
Still there's a voice that's been whispering
You're meant for more
Oh, what is in store

My eyes open and it's brilliant
Like Marvin Gaye in the rain
What's Goin' On
From refrain to refrain
Granted a masterpiece will treat you that way
But it wasn't really the music that floored
It was more a door to escape
Open the hatch and then descend into breaks
Wait for the scratch to bring it back so that another track
Will treat you the same
Said I was rude cause I'm not hearing my name
I'm blocking out a world that's less in tune with me
And trading it for the fame
You call'em earbuds or Airpods
I call'em take me there pods
A crown upon my hair that's barely there
But lets me sit upon a chair next to our shared gods
Of yesteryear
Present tier
Odds suggest
I'm probably the future here
My formittable days were menacin
My self-esteem was low
A Lil Jon call and response
It's not Tennyson
Understand the genre to get that ambiance
Music has been a blessing and saved me more than once

I've often wondered
What it will take me
To just feel normal
To fit
Be mortal
Still there's a voice that's been whispering
You're meant for more
Oh, what is in store

Will I lead
Will I be
What I've been
Called to be
What'll I be
What'll I be
Will I lead
Will I be
What I've been
Called to be
What'll I be
What'll I be

I've often wondered
What it will take me
To just feel normal
To fit
Be mortal
Still there's a voice that's been whispering
You're meant for more
Oh, what is in store

Will I lead
Will I be
What I've been
Called to be
What'll I be
What'll I be
Will I lead
Will I be
What I've been
Called to be
What'll I be
What'll I be
