In Your Face

This one's got a hip-hop edge to it! :)

-----

Tell me how many
Times have you been
Absorbed by others
And low on self esteem

And when everyone
Tells you they’re sorry
You can’t help but think
Its time to worry

I stumbled and fell
Over and over again
Prayed to god and to hell
To take away the pain
And then i realised
One fine day
I had only gotten stronger
With whatever they said

So in your face
Everybody who lied so that i cried and stay shaken inside
In your face
Everybody who assumed I would not resume and go back to my old happy state
In your face
All you people who never believed and would constantly make me bathe in self pity
In your face
Cos I survived, a winner with pride and i’m not scared to hide
In your face

Months turn into years
And you’ve grown taller
But those voices
Are still louder

It’s easy for you to be
Lured into the fury
What you make of it
Are you the smoke or the chimney?

I stumbled and fell
Over and over again
Prayed to god and to hell
To take away the pain
And then i realised
One fine day
I had only gotten stronger
With whatever they said

So in your face
Everybody who lied so that i cried and stay shaken inside
In your face
Everybody who assumed I would not resume and go back to my old happy state
In your face
All you people who never believed and would constantly make me bathe in self pity
In your face
Cos I survived, a winner with pride and i’m not scared to hide
In your face

  1. One minute you’re on top
    The next you’re not
    Watch it drop
    Making your heart stop
    Just before you hit the floor
    One minute you’re on top
    The next you’re not
    Missed your shot
    Making your heart stop
    You think you won

    And then it’s all gone
