Do You Hear Me?

Why the broken heart?
Why the change in narrative?
Tell us from the start
Seeking truth, over there it is
But from pain, that's not a win
Believe you, not again
Told us to reach for the stars, now tell us settle for the oxygen
Well sir, I decline
I guess now I'm out of line
Sir, I rather you be mad at me 'cause I will not resign
I'll do me and do me happily, 'cause I don't have the time
For you to be always after me
For a choice of mine (Because)

I'm so tired
Of people telling me it's unrealistic
Wired
To f*** up my chance because you missed it
I am
Pursuing my dreams, leave me 'lone
If you bringing negativity, then leave it at the tone
Tryna leave it at the throne
Seems like everything is wrong, when you ask
Everybody else is moving fast
Don't you feel like you should quit because this field is oh so crowded?
Plus one to this list of people who have doubted
Settle for less
