And it's still STIG. I'm just venting
I never thought that I would be in this position
All the hate behind my back serves as ammunition
See I can hate too, but I've learned from past decisions
The pain in your heart is only cured by optimism
So, I'll wish you well, while you're wishing good riddance
For assuming my intentions were always kept hidden
How did striving for the best, turn me to a villain?
You're really trying to question my ethics and intuition?
Really think my only goal is stacking up a billion?
Think I'm blowing smoke when I'm asking' how you're feeling?
Cause I know your potential doesn't end at the ceilings
That you're blowing smoke at numbing all your feelings
I took that advice about my impulsive decisions
So why did my advice result in pain and division?
My pop warned me off this day; I swear I have it written
Naive to my elders, thinking I could have it different
Ignorant to think I'd have it different
If only I had just stopped to listen (Listen)
We all make mistakes, that's a given
So, I just hope you're happy how you're living (Living)
Ignorant to think I'd have it different
If only I had just stopped to listen (Listen)
Things are meant to change, that's a given
So, I just hope you're happy that you're living
I never thought that I would be in this position
It seems that my dreams were more than premonitions
You're questioning my character, but never my ambition
I didn't have it made; I made the most with what was given
But that's not to say that there isn't something missing
We were rolling deep in my childhood visions
For years you saw me grow as I learned to game the system
At what point in the process did you turn into my victim?
Talk behind my back hoping I would never listen
I ignored the snakes until the day that I was bitten
Now I apologize for things you think I did but didn't
Inside you know it's wrong, but your pride has you conflicted
You keep projecting pain, with no effort to dismiss it
I've learned to laugh it off; it couldn't be more twisted
My pop warned me off this day; I swear I have it written
Naive to my elders, thinking I could have it different
Ignorant to think I'd have it different
If only I had just stopped to listen (Listen)
We all make mistakes, that's a given
So, I just hope you're happy how you're living (Living)
Ignorant to think I'd have it different
If only I had just stopped to listen (Listen)
Things are meant to change, that's a given
So, I just hope you're happy that you're living
