Jmo - Transparency Lyrics

I've gotta become more transparent
Make an effort to higher my standards
I can't be happy unless you know the real me
I gotta make it so through me you can see
Cause this time around I don't wanna let you down
I'd rather be taken out be for I end another drought
By causing you to scream shout while I watch the mass amount
Of those painful tears soak down deep into the ground

Transparency really is what it means to be truly complete
Cause once people can see through you they can believe in the things you do
Cause it's always got to be all about love and truth
Like your on the stand Bible under your hand
And you swear to the courts that the laws you understand
But it's just so easy to make a simple mistake
Just ask Weezy he knows life's not a game
Like monopoly there is not a card
To get out of jail for free so we need to work hard
And gotta accept the consequences
Of the decisions we make cause in the end
We're the only ones to blame for the things that we do and the things that we say
Now it's up to each one of us we all have our own paves to take
So every day step down yours and dare to be great

I've gotta become more transparent
Make an effort to higher my standards
I can't be happy unless you know the real me
I gotta make it so through me you can see
Cause this time around I don't wanna let you down
I'd rather be taken out be for I end another drought
By causing you to scream shout while I watch the mass amount
Of those painful tears soak down deep into the ground

Now I'm no Lil Wayne because getting locked up was never part of my game
And you know I wasn't raised in the dark alley ways of the A-town so TI
Gotta give you props for finally makin it out
But I've had my own issues that I've had to deal with
So it's time to grow up and take charge of them
And I don't know where this story should begin
But I already know where it'll dead end
Because no matter how many ups that there are
There will always be downs that will tear us apart
And that's when we realize what we're really all about
Cause either you're filled with courage or you're buried under all your doubt
So jump on the rollercoaster of life
And take it for a terrifying fun ride
But take solace in the fact that you will see the light
And the only thing to expect is unexpectedly you'll die

I've gotta become more transparent
Make an effort to higher my standards
I can't be happy unless you know the real me
I gotta make it so through me you can see
Cause this time around I don't wanna let you down
I'd rather be taken out be for I end another drought
By causing you to scream shout while I watch the mass amount
Of those painful tears soak down deep into the ground

Now before you start to sink because you've begun to think to deep
Try your best to keep your brain on the surface of things
And remember that you gotta breathe
Or else your ears will start to ring
With the sound of a distant voice saying a one a two a three
As you begin to suffocate under the pressures of each and every day
You will see yourself fade away your memory will become a haze and people will forget your name
And then you will go insane because your nothing without your fame
But it's not yours because it doesn't belong to you
But rather you belong to the people who always knew
You would make it big so they took a chance on you kid
And you decided to spit it all right back at them
Now after all that it's time to move on to the next act
Never look back at all the things I'll never have
I've chosen my path and with each and every step I'll leave all my troubles in the past

I've gotta become more transparent
Make an effort to higher my standards
I can't be happy unless you know the real me
I gotta make it so through me you can see
Cause this time around I don't wanna let you down
I'd rather be taken out be for I end another drought
By causing you to scream shout while I watch the mass amount
Of those painful tears soak down deep into the ground
