about

Our motivations are too often the results of fabricated ideas implanted by others. Understanding your own strengths, accepting your own weaknesses and staying in your own lane is really the only way people should approach anything productive.

Selfishness can be used for the power of good. Taking the time necessary to develop yourself and build up your self worth is crucial because that confidence will breed compassion and a much clearer understanding of the world around you. Sometimes people have a negative energy around them and that energy loves to feed off of others. There aren’t many skills in life that one should develop more important than having enough confidence to tell someone like that to “fuck off”. Life is too short for anyone else’s bullshit.

lyrics

NOW I AIN’T BEEN THE MOST POSITIVE SOUL IN THIS TOWN
I’VE DONE A LOT OF THINGS THAT HAVEN’T MADE ME VERY PROUD
BUT I FOUND A TWENTY DOLLAR BILL ON THE GROUND
WENT TO THE STORE AND I BOUGHT I MYSELF AN UPSIDE DOWN FROWN
I'M DONE BEING SUCH A GRUMPY OLD BUM
SHIT IS LOOKING UP SO I'M PUTTING DOWN THE GUN
I'M DOING WHAT I LOVE AND I'M LOVING WHAT I DO
TIME TO SHED THIS PESSIMISM - LET POSITIVITY THROUGH

I'M TOO WISE TO IDOLIZE ANYBODY ELSE
MY ONLY ROLE MODEL IS MY GODDAMN SELF

I FEEL THE ITCH - I TAKE THE BRIDGE AND I HANG A 45°
FLYING WAY OVER THE RAIL - LIFE IN NOSEDIVE
I AIN'T LEARNING TO FLY BUT I'LL BE ALRIGHT

NOW I AIN'T BEEN THE MOST HONORABLE MAN IN THIS CITY
I'VE DONE A LOT OF THINGS - A LOT OF THINGS THAT WERE NOT PRETTY - ARE YOU WITH ME?
WE ALL GO THROUGH OUR SPELLS OF BEING SH----
BUT I'M CRUSIN’ ON A FIXIE SO THESE GEARS AIN'T SHIFTING
I NEED TO TAKE A LOOK IN THE MIRROR
GOT 20/20 VISION BUT SOME THINGS ARE NEVER CLEAR
IF I'M DOING WHAT I LOVE AND I'M LOVING WHAT I DO
WHY DO I ALWAYS FEEL THIS HUNGER IN MY SOUL FOR SOMETHING NEW?

I'M TOO WISE TO IDOLIZE ANYBODY ELSE
MY ONLY ROLE MODEL IS MY GODDAMN SELF

I FEEL THE ITCH - I TAKE THE BRIDGE AND I HANG A 45°
FLYING WAY OVER THE RAIL - LIFE IN NOSEDIVE
I AIN'T LEARNING TO FLY BUT I'LL BE ALRIGHT

THESE ARE ODD TIMES - I'M IN THE BLURRED LINES LIVIN’
A MILLENNIAL CURSE IS THE GIFT I'VE BEEN GIVEN
THEY SAID TO DRINK THE KOOL AID BUT I'VE ONLY BEEN SIPPIN’
THEY SAID TO DRINK THE KOOL AID BUT I'VE ONLY BEEN SIPPIN’

I FEEL THE ITCH - I TAKE THE BRIDGE AND I HANG A 45°
FLYING WAY OVER THE RAIL - LIFE IN NOSEDIVE
I AIN'T LEARNING TO FLY BUT I'LL BE ALRIGHT
