Analysis of Victim's Mentality
Romario B. Osborne 1998 (Kingston)
I'm just trying to live a super simple life
But Bro, trying to live a simple life in this complex world is not so simple
Society says I'm not beautiful because my face got some pimples
Plus all this bullshit that comes with the color of my skin
And nobody seems to care about the beauty that's within
So it's like I'm just fucked by society
My life is gonna end tragically
And I can't do shit to change that reality
NO!
That's the victim's mentality
I'm trying to Boss Up
But it keeps haunting me
I'm trying to ignore it,
But it keeps taunting me
"Leave me alone
Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! It's harassing me"
I know the Victim's Mentality is brought by Fear
So i'm trying to make all my fears disappear
I'm just trying to make all my fears disappear
NO!
Fear will always be there.
Its Fight or Flight
It keeps me safe
I just have to find a way
To feel the fear but act anyway
