Social Acceptance

Suffering and smiling Two words that define it On the inside, I'm crying While outside I'm shining Done having my mask on I keep running this marathon I'm tired of seeing us look like pawns Who keep dying for the wrong icons I'm tryna be perfect I'm tryna be the one that they love Shouldn't I be perfect Shouldn't I be the one they love Can't you see they're perfect Can't you see that they're the ones they love Now I wanna be perfect I wanna be the one that they love Social acceptance Social acceptance Living all these lies just for social acceptance Social acceptance Social acceptance Gotta do what's trending for social acceptance Social acceptance Social acceptance oooooohhhhh ooooouuuuu ooooohhhhhhhh oooooohhhhh ooooouuuuu ooooohhhhhhhh Social acceptance Social acceptance Soooooooooooooooooooooo oohhhhhhh Raise your hands if you've had to stay quiet or say yes to anyone with a handle Don't be ashamed, I've been there so I cannot even try to judge you But I think it's about time I tie my laces and pick up the mantle Cos the leaders we put our trust in are so afraid of being canceled When you let your light shine you'll notice everyone try to blow out your candle Make sure to switch solar and you'll see there's nothing that you can't do I'm talking about the light of the world, don't want these words mishandled I know a lady who wishes every day her back was like that of a camel I think it's quite sad how people question the beauty of God's temple (Yeah) They wanna be so perfect, they could paint leaves better than trees I see my people chasing mirages like a mouse in need of cheese I mean how can I be at ease When the people in pain and clearly in need of therapy are holding the keys To the doors built by the under-celebrated people with degrees Say one thing and their hate becomes as inevitable as dislikes on youtube vids So it's hard to find a Martin Luther King Who can tell others about his dream To bring God's people in love and unity So my apologies to Jalen and Jacoby Cos we can't give the people what they want in this reality Seeing people deal with problems that have no medicine And a lot of wannabes don't know what they wanna be Hahaha So apologies to CTG, I love sending healing energy But it's about time I introduce the people to Elohim (Yeah) I've tried to be perfect I've tried to be the one that they love Shouldn't I be perfect Shouldn't I be the one they love Can't you see they're perfect Can't you see that they're the ones they love So I wanted to be perfect I'm done being the one that they love oooooohhhhh ooooouuuuu ooooohhhhhhhh oooooohhhhh ooooouuuuu ooooohhhhhhhh You know the whole idea of this song was for you to know that you're beautiful the way you are You're perfect the way you are Chase your goals Do what you need to do No one else should dictate how you should move in life No one else should create a template for your life That's not what it's supposed to be And that's what this song is saying I know you're tryna be perfect I know you're tryna be the one that they love But you're more than that After all, we don't live for them We just live for God Hold on to that T-cross
