LISTEN UP BECAUSE I AM TAKING A STAND!
I AM SO TIRED OF YOUR DEMANDS, COMPLAINTS, AND QUESTIONS!
u complain that I am good enough
u demand that I will be perfect
U question my self esteem
LISTEN CLOSELY,
YOU ARE NOT ME! so don't pity me for being so average
so don't pity me for being so anemic
so don't pity me for being so heartbroken
don't try to bring me down with your negativity
I have my own problems
don't u see!!
I am four-teen
I am squad leader of ROTC
I am God's precious dream

So don't hate because You see differently and wish I weren't here
The only way I am going to leave your mind
Is if you close your eyes
So keep them shut
But always listen up

I am me
and there is no way you can stop me
I am original
and it gets no better than this
I am real
and you can't stand it


THERE IS NO WAY YOU CAN STOP ME
I am on a roll and Jesus is in the passenger seat

and I'm gone....
