Elevate

I'm afraid you're mistaken
If you think I won't be amazing
I put in the work for the sake of my worth
I ain't concerned about a herd
I played my part and ate the shit off the dirt
My mind set shift and I took control
You can stay fixed or go for growth
Resist or persist
You select a role
Everything is choice and you chose to ignore
Wish but dismiss then collect your dole
You better wake up quick before opportunity closes it's door
I'm sick of people offended by anything
They say that I'm insensitive but I'm the one refusing the sedatives
And I feel everything
Fear
Anger
Sadness
Joy
Disgust
Surprise and trust
I've been depressed and people were mean as fuck
But you live and you learn
Every straight road eventually turns
It's only gonna get worse if you pull it back to reverse
Going back to the past to escape the hurt
The shit don't work
Well at least for me
I was looking for peace but couldn't see until
I looked within me
I'm far from a perfect person
I make mistakes and turn to the bourbon
But fuck it I don't give a fuck
It's my life I'll do what I want
Just like you should
You got the power
You're not the delicate pretty little flower
You were made out to be
You are not weak you are as equal as me
As I am to you
Most just need that ego boost
But boost too high get knocked back a peg or two
We're all try'na live but a small amount willing to help another through
We need unity within our community
It's together we improve the construction of opportunity

It took a while for me to see
Who I wanted to be
But I still got a lot of work to do
But I'm gonna Elevate, Elevate, Elevate
I levelled up my game
Now you'll see me elevate!

I can go for days locked away
Recluse with no single fuck to give
In order to protect I have to disconnect
My cognitive empathy gives this effect
I wish I could change the ways
But understand I feel the pain for days
It's the reason why I'm more introvert
Than I will ever be extrovert
I'm anxious enough without the extra hurt
I don't expect much from another
Man I made it this far
What I suffered made me tougher
Now I'm proud to wear these scars
I'd be some dead man's shoes
If I didn't believe I could do
Whatever I set out to do
I refuse to lose no matter how many times I fail
I lost many times but I prevail
Through misery and trickery
My imagery is still infamy
Consistency exists in me
With passion and pure proficiency
I listen to my inner
To mimic my vision
I got shit to do I'm breaking my limit
ADHD got me fidgeting
I'm no longer willing to listen
I've made a decision
To cut out your fucking opinions
You can suck a dick and choke into submission
My condition got no definition
I'm one of a kind with my head up but i'm down to learn
Knocked back but desire still burns
Like my heart's been dipped in a fryer
I've simmered for over a decade
You're about to see the fire
I challenged my challenges
That made me question perception
How I see the world compared to another
Is far from the same
We are at war with ourselves
Which means we are at war with each other
If we aren't killing ourselves
Then I guess we're killing each other

It took a while for me to see
Who I wanted to be
But I still got a lot of work to do
But I'm gonna Elevate, Elevate, Elevate
I levelled up my game
Now you'll see me elevate!
