You Know Yourself

You Know Yourself

Inspired by Swazi Boy International

 

You gotta be ready,

You gotta smile,

Smile for the camera,

Smile for the people,

You gotta be ready to inspire

But be ready to be inspired too,

Life doesn’t mean anything at all

If you don’t bring meaning to it,

Smile until the end,

 

Walk with pride,

I mean,

Talk about knowing who you are,

Talk about knowing who the boss is,

Talk about proving yourself wrong,

I mean,

Exceeding your planned limitations,

I mean,

Getting to your goal

And aiming for more,

It is so good to be me,

It is so good to be you,

 

Do you ever wanna see the end?

The end of it all,

The end isn’t as far,

I mean not as far as you can imagine,

If you end it all,

IF you really end it all,

Who is to inspire you?

Who is to pick you up?

Because it is through everything you want to end

That you learn more,

 

It doesn’t matter,

It doesn’t mitatter at all,

The hard work you think you’ve put,

The energy you think you’ve wasted,

It doesn’t matter

Because you want it to end,

It doesn’t matter

Because you aren’t walking with pride,

It doesn’t matter

Because you aren’t ready for anything at all,

 

SO!!!!!

It doesn’t matter what I say,

Because nothing matters as much to you,

It doesn’t matter how I say it

Because you believe you can end it all,

It doesn’t matter at all what I say

Because in the end,

I end it.
