Simon says start with why
With the words that will make your soul shine bright
With the words that will make your soul shiver
You will not aim for silver
You will rip your arms for gold
No matter what, you will not fold
You will schred your heart in pieces
Cause even if your psych is in crisis
You will keep diving deeper
You never gonna stop being a believer
I guess, that's what y'all want to hear, right?
But honestly, all of this is movie like
The thing is, brother, sister, trust me, you ain't no Spike
Lee, no Kobe, you ain't no Denzel,
So please stay in your freaking lane
Go live your miserable life
Go get your boring ass kids and your bougie ass wife
Your house, your fence, your dog
No Eva Longoria, but still you're a Desperate Housewife
Cause, let's be real, this is gonna be the future
For almost all of us, all of these adventure
Will stay on Netflix and Prime
We won't have no mountain to climb
No dragon to slay, no princess to save
No vengeance to fullfil
Your parents never got kill
On a dark alley in front of your eyes
No harms, no tears, no cries
And the Dark Knight never had to rise
So hell to these fantasies
Who make you believe
That life is worth living
That on earth
We all should be grinding
Do you listen to yourself?!
Do you really think you have so much depth ?
Stop watching Nipsey video
You won't be a hustler, you won't be a hero
And no, you're not gonna learn the tango,
And go to Puerto Rico
Find your suave latina
And make love on the beach on Cesária Évora
It's time to wake the hell up
For ordinary people, dreams always dies
No matter how hard you strive
Hold on, hold on, wait a minute, so what you're saying is that,
Nihilism is the best road to take ?
That Nietzsche was right
Every effort goes to waste
We will only remember the heartbreak?
But what if we, remember, not the scars but the good stars
The ones who led us here
The ones who made us heal
The moments for life, at every second, feeling so alive
What if we focus on our missions
What if we take action and start the motion
Of our lives, of our prize
You need to find out why you came on earth
And I'll be damned if that's to belittle other people
To make them feel like failures
Just for trying, they are way more special
Than you and your big coward mouth
That lay still and criticize other, brother you're just a drop out
And not the Kanye 's style
So from now on be mindful and present
Don't let nobody distract you from your legend
And hang on tight to every little blessed time
Hang on to when you first saw the moon shine
When you travelled to your dream country, with all your best friends
When you met your new born nephew, and on your finger he hold
When you told yourself, boy you need to get out of your comfort zone
Next thing you know, you jumped out on a place and moved out to another country all alone
When you saw her for the first time
And you said daaaaaaamn, how can a person be so sublime
When, after years of working on your mental, you realized that you deserved a medal, cause you got through all of your trauma without a mentor
When you will see your best friend get married
You'll shed a sea of tears in front of their love being sealed
When your daughter will graduate,
She's your baby girl, you don't want to see her go but you'll keep that a secret
You will let her fly by herself for her sake
When you will watch a sandy sunset in Salvador on a family trip
Your silly sister throwing wave of sand at you but she's your favorite
When you will, for the first time on your life, get on stage at an Open Mic
And at the end of your poem, you will see everybody clap
