If You Broke Free

Take a second and close your eyes.

Look inside yourself and kick out their lies.

See,

All this time they planted a seed.

Watering that shit, now inside you's a weed.


At birth, they got scared of what you could be.

Potential unbound, so they locked it with no key.


They spin you around. Got you feeling lost.

Dreams you once had out the window they tossed.


Now you look at success and think "that's not for me."

Feeling out of place like a fish trying to climb a tree.


Just realize, it's how society believes it has to skew

Because they're scared of all the things you might do.


Trying to keep you in place so you can't be better.

Don't want you winning the race for that varsity letter.


That's why life feels like the Most Dangerous Game

And when you act differently they tell you you're lame.


Rip out the weed and break out of their cuffs.

Know you are a genius and your skills are good enough.


This world needs you to break the mundane chain.

Let your potential thrive and see society wane.


The world would be much better if you broke free.

Now open up your eyes and let yourself see.

All that you can be...

If you'd let yourself be...
