[Verse 1]
They say live by the system, abide by what's written
Rules are just the way it is and not meant to be questioned
Go to school, go to college, with that knowledge get a job
It's all about the money and that's how the money's got
Grow up, get a family, trade dreams for a decent salary
Once your own shape now a square through life's geometry
So now you fitting real damn snug inside that cubicle
Voice inside your mind screaming, "Life could have been beautiful"
We are those who let that voice speak loudly
Throw our hearts to the people, wear our honesty proudly
Spill our guts to the masses so they know they ain't alone
Hit 'em with the messages that ain't hittin their phone
Journey through the soundwaves and straight into your soul
Let ya know that life is somethin' only you can mold
When you feel you're at edge, throw you somethin' you can hold
Bring you back to the earth and put you back in control
[Chorus]
'Cause I don't wanna be society's casualty
We are the artist where heart is building reality
Drift to the mountains when they been clouding my imagery
Mother Nature do send for me when their world try to finish me
[Verse 2]
Back to my spot, back inside my thoughts
Misery love company, these days I walk alone
They ask me if I'm lost, said, "I was, but made it home"
They ask me 'bout the cross, said, "I leave that talk alone"
I like to not limit the things that we could be
'Cause when I look into the stars, I see a lot is left to read
There's a lot that I've been told of and my eyes are yet see
Places I've been shown but air my lungs are yet to breathe
So let me live my life
Only I decide if how I live is right
I know we could go back and forth all night
But life is infinite, and I swear it's meant to inspire
Spark goin', I'm growin' till hope is movin' in fire
Said the world's getting dark, add to the light through my lighter
If you sayin' we ain't dope, hope you choke and know you a liar
You can sit back and watch me set the world on fire
[Chorus]
'Cause I don't wanna be society's casualty
We are the artist where heart is building reality
Drift to the mountains when they been clouding my imagery
Mother Nature do send for me when their world try to finish me
[Verse 3]
Raised on no ceilin's, no limits at all
Grew surrounded by mountains, no levels too tall
I was gifted this mindset, I'll gift it to y'all
Gift it right back if I ever should fall
60,200 feet, most live under my feet
Live at a height in which most couldn't breathe
Tryna get to a height that most lives haven't seen
'Cause I woke out my nightmares, proceeded to dream
But when the world tries to break me down
Take me back to where my peace is found
The wind through the trees whispers through the breeze
Out here no one can tell me that I can't live dreams
[Chorus]
'Cause I don't wanna be society's casualty
We are the artist where heart is building reality
Drift to the mountains when they been clouding my imagery
Mother Nature do send for me when their world try to finish me
They say live by the system, abide by what's written
Rules are just the way it is and not meant to be questioned
Go to school, go to college, with that knowledge get a job
