They Say
Couple years ago didn't know where I was going
Even if it's sunny I saw it like it was snowing
Nobody understood what I was undergoing
Every day the same time felt like it was slowing down
I didn't have a purpose don't know why I was around
Take a hike ride a bike just wanted to get out
When alone took my smile off like a gown
But my heart just had this permanent frown
They say life is what you make it
They say It shows when you fake it
I say it's like a cake and I bake it
When I see an opportunity I take it
They say life is what you make it
They say It shows when you fake it
I say it's like a cake and I bake it
When I see an opportunity I take it
Fast forward a couple of years later
I learned the way to love yourself is to be your biggest hater
Now i know you might tell me I'm wrong
So let me explain it to you while I'm singing this song
Listen man everybody got their flaws
From being insecure to being a show-off
To love yourself gotta destroy the base
Figure out the missing parts to fill up that empty space
But to make a change you gotta hate how it is now
You gotta embrace it then take them walls down
how can you love yourself if you don't claim your crown
Take your makeup off don't act like a clown
They say life is what you make it
They say It shows when you fake it
I say it's like a cake and I bake it
When I see an opportunity I take it
They say life is what you make it
They say It shows when you fake it
I say it's like a cake and I bake it
When I see an opportunity I take it
I found myself rapping bars on beats
Twenty-four-seven had J. Cole on repeat
They said your goals are too out of reach
You won't be able to achieve
Man if you don't like you know you can just leave
Stopped what I was doing I followed my heart
They said Bashar you changed nah man I just grew up
From depressed to happy you can hear it in my voice
I do what I want I'm the one that got the choice
Don't judge me man I'm just letting it out
If you stop being yourself things will go south
Go crazy show them what you're about
Take a chance give yourself the benefit of the doubt
They say life is what you make it
They say It shows when you fake it
I say it's like a cake and I bake it
When I see an opportunity I take it
They say life is what you make it
They say It shows when you fake it
I say it's like a cake and I bake it
When I see an opportunity I take it
If it's not clear yet let me rephrase
Love yourself no matter what fuck what they say
Nobody's perfect and there's always room for change
It can be stopping bad habits or lifting weights
Every loser gotta win and every winner gotta lose someday
Everything comes to an end so live one day at a time
Ima rap this up and leave the old me behind
But remember who you wear before made who you are now
Worry later just believe you'll make it somehow
I'm venting sorry if I took too long
Just close your eyes and listen along
They say life is what you make it
They say It shows when you fake it
I say it's like a cake and I bake it
When I see an opportunity I take it
Even if it's sunny I saw it like it was snowing
Nobody understood what I was undergoing
Every day the same time felt like it was slowing down
I didn't have a purpose don't know why I was around
Take a hike ride a bike just wanted to get out
When alone took my smile off like a gown
But my heart just had this permanent frown
They say life is what you make it
They say It shows when you fake it
I say it's like a cake and I bake it
When I see an opportunity I take it
They say life is what you make it
They say It shows when you fake it
I say it's like a cake and I bake it
When I see an opportunity I take it
