Pa**ion Hifi - Notice A Difference? lyrics

[Verse 1: Sam Mackey] Let me take you back a year ago Was I a member of society? No I've done a lot of work since then Cause nowadays I wake up in the morning Got a new routine, slow but its forming Start the day off with a prayer so I can stay aware That who I am is not depicted by my clothes or my hair Step into the bathroom, brush my teeth and wash the mask away So I can deal with the stresses of today In an honest authentic way It's not about my faults or my success Its about what I learn and how I progress Can I own my selfishness? And be happy practicing selflessness? Caught in this thing called ego Its got me convinced that I'm the dopest amigo But we know that's my insecurities come to get the best of me So I'm gonna stick with the routine and the recipe And with that I'm left humble Reaching out for help Cause I respect myself No longer a shell laying dormant on the shelf Cause I mistook guilt for shame I'm worthless became my favorite saying Manipulation became a mastered game And Sam Mackey had no meaning to her name It's too easy to admit my wrongs I feel uncomfortable when I say I am strong It's a work in progress I'm an addict with a bad habit that I can confess But here's the true test I'm proud to say I am openly gay And I am worth a good life today I am a survivor, came from the concrete Now I stand tall with shoes on my feet I finally got food to eat and a roof over my head I great full for those and extra great full or a bed Not too proud to let a tear shed And I can sit in a chair and finally feel content In my own body and skin Life is no longer a game I feel I need to win I'm safe now no need to run Don't have to prove anything to anyone I'm living the simple life just doing what I love Writing music so I can rise above Working on the education, yeah I like that Cause knowledge is power and you know that's a fact You see this mixtape gives you a choice Take it or leave it, learn to use your own voice
