“Be Good” by Gregory Porter
This is the best thing. Ever.
Don’t do what I did. Don’t be cautious. Don’t sit around waiting for something to happen to you. Don’t be so caught up in your thoughts that you don’t move. Don’t be guarded. Don’t let your talent sit around. Don’t understand the power of your mind, but be afraid to use it.
You know I’m in design school and have never designed anything really for anyone? Always waiting for that moment where I felt right. Being afraid of being bad that I never gave it a try. Barely showing my work. Working at jobs that had absolutely nothing to do with what I want to do, but yet I stay. Staying quiet, procrastinating. Not loving myself enough to be like fuck you I deserve this shit. I’m doing everything right—I’m in school, getting decent grades, working part time, paying my bills on time, not partying really much at all. Can you over achieve at being boring? Is there an award out there for just getting through life? I’m such a punk. Hiding behind excuses, putting things off till later, searching through books and scrolling through the internet searching for something. Not believing in the something that is already within me.
Just playing it safe, just playing it safe, just playing it safe, just playing it safe, just playing it safe, just playing it safe, just playing it safe,just playing it safe, just playing it safe,just playing it safe, just playing it safe,just playing it safe, just playing it safe,just playing it safe, just playing it safe,just playing it safe, just playing it safe,just playing it safe, just playing it safe,just playing it safe, just playing it safe.
You ever feel like you had to escape from yourself?
