Madd Maxxx - My Saving Grace

ALL RIGHTS GO TO MADD MOTHERFUCKIN MAXXX! INTRO: You know, I've met a lot of people in the short time that I've been alive... and it feels like everybody's worried about all this insignificant bullshit. Worried about what clothes they wearin' or what CD they listenin' to or how much money they have or what car they drive or what neighborhood they live in... but none of that means anything. When it comes down to it, it's all about what you have in your head and what you have in your heart. Fuck normality, fuck societal acceptance, fuck all of that because it only means as much as you let it mean. I know I'm not the smartest, I know I'm not the coolest and I know I'm not the best looking... but it doesn't matter to me, cause I know if I'm doing the best I can with what I have, then I'm good. If you do that, then it doesn't matter if your clothes are the freshest or if your wallet is the fattest or if your house is the biggest, people are always gonna have something to say about you... but you can't let that stifle you because although they may hurt, they're only words. People can call you whatever they wanna call you but as long as you know that you're doin' your best, you should be fine, keep that in mind. VERSE 1: How much of a path must a man walk down before they can call him a man? Is it years, is it distances, maybe experiences? I really don't know but I'll tell you what I can I'm still pretty young, just barely nineteen Yet I been so many places, the things I've seen Make me believe that a lifetime is longer than it seems Life is only short if you want it to be. If I died right now, I'd have zero regrets Because I took what I was given and I tried my best People forget what's important and it turns into depression Tails spin towards the ground cause of simple misdirection. Here's a lesson you should learn, no one really knows what they want from life, whatever path you chose It was yours to decide, so enjoy the ride And if you mess somethin' up just give it another try Never let somebody tell you that you were wrong They only mad cause they still don't really know what's going on Just do what you do, fuck bein accepted. This is your life to live, never let nothin' effect it. CHORUS (x2): This is my saving grace, this is my final word Though it may seem absurd this is what I've learned Where do I go from here? I don't really know But I'll never stop movin and that's fa'sho I don't have all of the answers, I won't pretend But if you feel the way I feel, I would strongly recommend That you stop worryin' about the trivial stuff Bein' yourself is more than enough. VERSE 2: Even tho I gotta say I've had a real nice life There's been alot of times shit just really ain't go right I was an outcast up until I graduated high school I guess I still am but that's totally cool See, I used to let the kids get to me with they words It really hurt when they would call me a weirdo & nerd So many nights with a knife to my jugular vein I really thought that I was goin' insane but things change Took alot of years but I finally made it Now I could give a f*** less if I'm greatly hated I ain't doin' anything for anybody but me This is my life, you could suck a d*** if you disagree When I say that what do I mean? f*** normalcy If you like it then do it, f*** MTV, tryin to tell me What I need to do, to be cool. I can choose for myself man, I ain't no fool. Who are you to be sayin' that I should change? So what if I'm strange, nobody said you gotta live this way Just leave it to me & let me be what I can be It'll be more than you expect & I'll bet you ...Just wait and see...
