Not A Legend

I'm not a legend Not even known It's not who I am I'll succeed on my own But it don't feel right I should apologize For wanting to show the world just who I am I thought I lost myself Through music I am now found Oh, I'm proud of myself I stood my ground I'm where I want to be I feel good mentally I refuse to let my past define me now I wake up every morning, thinking of all the good I've done I went from making videos, to writing inspiring songs But ain't no way I got to where I am by holding on I got to where I am today by who I brought along I'm thankful for the way I'm hated, surely shaped me strong Same way those that love me, made me know I'm not alone The funny thing about the way you feel I've been involved Is the way you fail to realize you were in the wrong Resentment in my heart should not be pushing me to speak But defending who I've been, it's who I'm meant to be The constant negativity, is only driving me Continue saying what you want, I swear it's only helping me I'm gone and now you notice that I'm on to better things It only triggers your emotion, and you slander me All you want is my reaction, that ain't happening I bet you hate confidence that's why I find it sad to me To think I'm so controlling For me I want the change To make a better future, for me and for my name That's why I'm still growing, you can't say the same Go ahead and let me be the person that you blame It's constant battling, bicker, belittling the ones you hate I'm a victim of the damage, and I'm sick of feeling rage All the stress in someone's life enough to make 'em feel insane Is problematic to the point to where they have to sit and say I'm not a legend Not even known It's not who I am I'll succeed on my own But it don't feel right I should apologize For wanting to show the world, just who I am I thought I lost myself Through music I am now found Oh, I'm proud of myself I stood my ground I'm where I want to be I feel good mentally I refuse to let my past define me now My mom's success, is pushing me to see what I can be She made me grow a lot, helped me, and inspired me I appreciate her effort spent on focusing I'll take the same approach achieving both my only dreams I want to make sure she can live anywhere promising That I can be at ease, taking care of family And give her peace of mind that I am out there being free Loving what I do, and giving back to the community Along the way, I'll face some issues in society It's the people that will drag me down entirely But I won't budge, I know there's people who admire me The ones that took time to get an honest understanding of me I'm not a role model, I'm not the one to be Just to make a difference, forget what you believe I'm sick of staying quiet, interpret what I mean Maybe one day I'll accept it but right now, you have to see I'm not a legend Not even known It's not who I am I'll succeed on my own But it don't feel right I should apologize For wanting to show the world, just who I am I thought I lost myself Through music I am now found Oh, I'm proud of myself I stood my ground I'm where I want to be I feel good mentally I refuse to let my past define me now Wasted life believing I was wrong a thousand times That's the impact that they have, influencing a lie I can't believe how trapped I felt, I can't go back for mine I had to move on, had to learn to live another life I always worried To them, they think I'm weak They all just stuck together, where does that leave me It's branded on my mind, what am I s'posed to be They won't know the struggle, they stick to their beliefs I'm in my feelings, and I have the right to be I've spent 3 years of my life, holding torment willingly I know I'm one to blame I only did it blindingly Out of love and now they're doing everything to separate me All of this? Still ongoing Me? I'm only growing The fact that I can hide this, is the reason I'm still going I'm ending their enjoyment, The case I'm finally closing, They won't get the message, I'm making this my moment I'm not a legend Not even known It's not who I am I'll succeed on my own But it don't feel right I should apologize For wanting to show the world, just who I am I thought I lost myself Through music I am now found Oh, I'm proud of myself, I stood my ground I'm where I want to be I feel good mentally I refuse to let my past define me now
