Like Me
Written and composed by ZeaLouS1
Some call what I say to be arrogance,
There’s a thin line between cocky and confidence,
I believe in what I say and I’ll back it,
I got a will of fire where many others lack it
If you attack it I lash in all directions,
Whiting out your life like I need to make corrections,
Trained by the King, raised with hopes high,
Protect those I love, I would gladly die
I found almost to be never enough,
Trials set in front of me were never really tough,
Burned in a fire that would shatter my reflection,
Crushed by my lies, what I thought was perfection
The choice to run from anything was lost,
Forced to fight fears of mine at all cost,
Forged from a fire and with no reprieve,
I know there ain’t anyone quite like me
You don’t train like me, take pain like me,
Don’t bleed, don’t need, don’t lead like me,
You don’t live like me, sacrifice like me,
You don’t try, do or die or defy like me
You don’t love like me, don’t hate like me,
Don’t fight, have sight, stay tight like me,
I do it so you don’t suffer like me,
I’ll be your buffer, don’t suffer like me
When I was born I was blessed with a curse in my chest,
My capacity to love would be put to the test,
And God, He would know all the pain I would feel,
But only fire will temper iron ore into steel
I received stress with every assignment,
Pressure on a lump of coal for sure makes a diamond,
I tried to give it away on few occasions,
I gave into any lullaby of persuasion
I work well with pain ’till blood leaks,
I don’t give a damn if you think I’m a freak,
I work hard and I train so I stay on my game,
I will earn my respect, you’ll remember my name
Willing to share my life stories in a song,
If it doesn’t get you thinking then I’m doing something wrong,
Theres so much to learn ’cause I’m twenty-three,
But I know there ain’t anyone quite like me
You don’t train like me, take pain like me,
Don’t bleed, don’t need, don’t lead like me,
You don’t live like me, sacrifice like me,
You don’t try, do or die or defy like me
You don’t love like me, don’t hate like me,
Don’t fight, have sight, stay tight like me,
I do it so you don’t suffer like me,
I’ll be your buffer, don’t suffer like me
The dark in my heart and soul was born young,
Cursed at the world and life with my tongue,
A child, I was lost and sought my own place,
Alone in the dark and I covered up my trace
Everything that I loved got destroyed,
Flipped on a whim and way beyond annoyed,
Epiphany, then it came to me that day,
Love with all your heart and you can hate the same way
Hence the dragon inside was born,
My whole state of mind in half, it got torn,
Unleash the hate and the power I wield,
But the love deeper still kept the darkness sealed
Back to the world and the life I live,
Enough of myself and the stories I give,
The smile that I wear hides more than you see,
‘Cause there ain’t nobody that’s quite like me
You don’t train like me, take pain like me,
Don’t bleed, don’t need, don’t lead like me,
You don’t live like me, sacrifice like me,
You don’t try, do or die or defy like me
You don’t love like me, don’t hate like me,
Don’t fight, have sight, stay tight like me,
I do it so you don’t suffer like me,
I’ll be your buffer, don’t suffer like me
