[Intro]
AWOL's Rap Up!
Jam #2 - what you gonna do?
I'll tell you what
Whatever the hell you feel like. As long as you're being yourself you're doing it right
Watch how I do it
[Verse 1]
I live in fear of being an imposter
Bigger fear than of the largest monster
But I bury those feelings like a mobster
And find other ways of thinking that I foster
It's that uniqueness that builds a sense of culture
Go hard in your own image like a sculpture
If others can't stomach you like an ulcer
Let 'em egg you on until you're rotten, watered sulfur
Introvеrt or extrovert, eithеr way there’s extra hurt
In worrying what others think your brain must feel next to burnt
No more imposter syndrome, your attitude must get turnt
Your true friends will understand and if they don't then they weren't
[Chorus]
I can tell you on my team that we value diversity
A spread of knowledge from the streets and university
Copy the spark of others, you’ll get burnt in the first degree
Be yourself, 'cause there are things there’re worse to be
[Verse 2]
Everyone has their own super power
Good at math, charismatic, or like me louder
Start to look at things this way, make the most of every hour
We've all climbed the same exact height of life's tower
You can be envious of another's abilities
But that's nothing more than an exercise in futility
‘Cause if that person knew all about your capabilities
They'd see something in you they'd want to learn to be
Put forth your own individuality
Thinking someone else is better, that's just a fallacy
Everyone's different, you've just got the wrong mentality
Be yourself, otherwise you're not living in reality
[Chorus]
I can tell you on my team, we value diversity
A spread of knowledge from the streets and university
Copy the spark of others and you’ll get burnt in the first degree
Be yourself, 'cause there are things there’re worse to be
I can tell you on my team, we value diversity
A spread of knowledge from the streets and university
Copy the spark of others and you’ll get burnt in the first degree
Be yourself, 'cause there are things there’re worse to be
[Outro]
Yea, be your very best you no matter what you choose to do
Walk your own straight path that no others can skew
Eff- imposter syndrome
