Difference

And it’s still STIG. I’m just venting I never thought that I would be in this position All the hate behind my back serves as ammunition See I can hate too, but I’ve learned from past decisions The pain in your heart is only cured by optimism So, I’ll wish you well, while you’re wishing good riddance For assuming my intentions were always kept hidden How did striving for the best, turn me to a villain? You’re really trying to question my ethics and intuition? Really think my only goal is stacking up a billion? Think I’m blowing smoke when I’m asking’ how you’re feeling? Cause I know your potential doesn’t end at the ceilings That you’re blowing smoke at numbing all your feelings I took that advice about my impulsive decisions So why did my advice result in pain and division? My pop warned me off this day; I swear I have it written Naive to my elders, thinking I could have it different Ignorant to think I’d have it different If only I had just stopped to listen (Listen) We all make mistakes, that’s a given So, I just hope you’re happy how you’re living (Living) Ignorant to think I’d have it different If only I had just stopped to listen (Listen) Things are meant to change, that’s a given So, I just hope you’re happy that you’re living I never thought that I would be in this position It seems that my dreams were more than premonitions You’re questioning my character, but never my ambition I didn’t have it made; I made the most with what was given But that’s not to say that there isn’t something missing We were rolling deep in my childhood visions For years you saw me grow as I learned to game the system At what point in the process did you turn into my victim? Talk behind my back hoping I would never listen I ignored the snakes until the day that I was bitten Now I apologize for things you think I did but didn’t Inside you know it’s wrong, but your pride has you conflicted You keep projecting pain, with no effort to dismiss it I’ve learned to laugh it off; it couldn’t be more twisted My pop warned me off this day; I swear I have it written Naive to my elders, thinking I could have it different Ignorant to think I’d have it different If only I had just stopped to listen (Listen) We all make mistakes, that’s a given So, I just hope you’re happy how you’re living (Living) Ignorant to think I’d have it different If only I had just stopped to listen (Listen) Things are meant to change, that’s a given So, I just hope you’re happy that you’re living
