lyrics

Nothing To Prove

VERSE I
Rolled out of bed this morning/ got so much to do
Feel the pressure on me/ I know I'll make it through
The pressure to make more money/ prove you're number one
Keep fighting for position/ till the setting of the sun

Chorus I
Constant daily grind/ prison of the mind
Leave that all behind - Got nothing to prove
May have bills to pay/ God will make my way
Lesson learned today - Got nothing to prove

Change
I know who I am/ I know where I stand
The more I live/ The more I see/ What was always true
Life is too short/ I've got nothing to prove

VERSE II
Why's your hair so nappy/ You oughta wear it straight
You got an office job but/ You can't wear them braids
Why's your butt so big/ You should lose some weight
Yeah she's fat/ But she's got a pretty face
Your breasts are too small/ You oughta get implants
Gotta look like a model/ Then maybe you'll have a chance
If you gotta find perfection/ If you gotta be the best
Then you gotta do it for yourself/ Ignore the rest

CHANGE II
I know who I am/ I know where I stand
The more I live/ The more I see/ The more I know

CHORUS II
It may hurt sometimes/ Strength I always find
I will forever shine/ Got nothing to prove
I can only be/ What God intends for me
The truth is plain to see/ Got nothing to prove
May have bills to pay/ God will make my way
Lesson learned today/ Got nothing to prove
I got hills to climb/ One thing on my mind
Forever I will shine/ Got nothing to prove

Change III
I know who I am/ I know where I stand
It may hurt sometimes/ Strength I always find/ I will shine

VAMP
Hills to climb/But I don't mind/ I will shine

ASCENDANT rises... and asks us all to join them in flight ... more
