I'm Happy When I Try Not to Be

It seems that my thoughts are too deep
So deep they make me feel like a creep
And everyone around sees a freak
Seems I need to not give a bleep
Life is too short to dwell on what can't be controlled
So come get into my car and let's roll
Forget our problems and worries
I plead with my mind to stop thinking, become blurry
Furry, fuzzy, things are leaving my brain
Imagine what would happen with fame
Things would never ever be the same
It would turn my life into a mere game
Think I'm lame cause I'm not a drinker or a smoker
You probably think I'm a joker
I write all these thoughts abstinent from booze
Hell I'm also abstinent from boobs
Won't even watch them on the tube
I guess you could call me a noob
But this is my life and my rhymes
Talking about all the good times
Even if I forgot them a lot, sometimes

My life flashes before my eyes
I need to stop and realize
Spend time having some fun
Instead of always being on the run
I love trying to be happy
Makes me feel sappy
Instead of always crappy
Now I'm feeling nappy
And I fall asleep in peace
Even if it's on my knees

I've got it made and I'm living the best I can
White, middle-classed, and a bonafide son of man
Nerdy, misunderstood, but still original
But they'll do what they can to make my impact minimal
I'm here to let you know to be yourself
And if you don't know your own self you better get help
Breaking free from social boundaries and limits
Become much more than a divot
In this field of life put forward by society
They'll never stop the free side of me
Learn self-reliance and self-respect
It will do more than affect
Your outward appearance and inward spirit
It's a full revival, you'll feel it right down in your pit
It'll fit in nicely and you'll feel more alive than ever
Try your best to stay at that place, forever
So keep smiling and ignore the haters
They live their lives merely to cater
To those they consider gold
While they consider you mold
But mold can change and become better
While they are societal debtors
Feel pity and remorse
But remain the course
And never let them change you from the inside
Rather change them by how you appear on the outside

My life flashes before my eyes

I need to stop and realize

Spend time having some fun

Instead of always being on the run

I love trying to be happy

Makes me feel sappy

Instead of always crappy

Now I'm feeling nappy

And I fall asleep in peace

Even if it's on my knees

Free-spirits unite
Fight the good fight
Light the lights
Am I right?
I'm a free-fighting knight
Wishing you a happy good night
From black to white
Lose your sense of sight
And help the world feel alright

My life flashes before my eyes

I need to stop and realize

Spend time having some fun

Instead of always being on the run

I love trying to be happy

Makes me feel sappy

Instead of always crappy

Now I'm feeling nappy

And I fall asleep in peace

Even if it's on my knees
