Hook:
We live, we learn
We give, we earn
It's all in our mind though
And so, in turn
We make, and burn
Can't seem to decide ohhh
The nature of the beast
Our thoughts are a throne and we groan like
“Why did this happen to me?”
And irony is all I see
Achieving self-defeat, through mental tyranny
Verse 1:
Experience breeds perspective
And life is a lake of which the surface is reflective
A silver platter that shows our inner matters matter
Can't get distracted when naysayers say “hey batter batter”
You swing, and you miss every time
When your mind is aligned with why you shouldn't try like
“Oh my gosh, what if people see me fail?!”
Trust me brah, failure is needed to prevail, yea
Edison really knew this well
You've seen the quotes but to live it is another tale
Comparisons pale like my thighs next to a sheet of shale
When you find, another guy that
Can't decide what he wants to do
And so he hides behind all the names people threw
At him when he was a kid, callin him “Worthless”
He said it's true and so that's how he lives

We live, we learn
We give, we earn
It's all in our mind though
And so, in turn

Verse 2:
Keep a simple mind and you're gonna fall
Without prudence thoughts are fruitless nothing grows at all
Our subconscious soil is fertile and so we sow and draw
Launching what we'll later reap in sequence based on perfect law
It makes me clench my jaw, seein seekers of the truth
Treat the symptoms not the root, of the cause
They plant seeds but revert to layin sod
When they can't see the things unseen beneath the top
Yea, whether you like it or not
All our struggles proceed from the things we've thought
All the things we've got, are crops we've wrought
By the pros and cons dropped in our cerebral plot
And the plot really thickens here, it gets really sick
When you picture all your biggest fears and realize that you pick
Every scene, nightmare and dream
And the more you dwell upon it the quicker it comes to be
