Royalty
People think it comes, from money and fame.
And those that don’t got it, can’t be treated the same.
A twisted ideology stuck to the brain, and causing nothing but pain,
Driving the whole WORLD insane.
But during these times I’m here to tell you,
it’s a whole new BALL game.
People,
We spent too many years letting labels put money to our souls.
It’s like if we don’t win a shiny toy that tells us we’re worth a damn, we are nothing.
Nothing because we let them put us into a hole, only to be picked up and used for their control.
Nothing because when we search for gold we fail to stop and look back at the events that had to unfold.
Nothing because when our feet get cold, we fail to realize that we made it here being BRAVE…. BEING BOLD.
And as cruel as this may sound, waiting for someone or SOMETHING to start YOUR life will be your grave. It’ll be on your tombstone.
Do you need an official to say you’re alive, or are you just alive?
During these times you don’t need royalty passed down to you.
You just take it and claim it.
Make it yours with the great things you continue to do for several years, and don’t let no one tell you differently.
Because there will be people who want you to fail, it’s true.
Bringing you down so they can feel better about themselves, from the jealousy they have for you.
But they could only bring you down if you stay down.
So do me a favor.
When you look up and see someone being granted with what should’ve been your own,
Take in the scenery that took you of sleepless nights to get to,
And then look down at your seat. That’s your throne.
