Thomas Djossou - Perspectives lyrics

[Part One] First off welcome to The Room Nothing is real here you might catch up soon Statistics working against your crew That's 20 of us, never enough of you When in squads, we too shameless Get like us or remain nameless I will never break tradition Allegiance before common sense Here's my 2 cent's Make it a dollar if you can just listen No use in going against my coalition Eliminate all ethical collisions For you can never win When we walk around in groups Don't ask no question And enter the troop Or bloom on the wall And enjoy the perks Of being invisible Not knowing your worth You are nothing alone The room will shrink And suffocate all those Who dare to think That playing it safe Is playing it same way All your friends play it Never self proclaiming Your human right to be different Comparing yourself to a bunch of peasants Only concerned with pleasing Whoever seems to lead the way Are you afraid the walls shrink and spit you out And that in shame you walk the miles to face the greatness of forever With no one to shake you up when You fail to awake from past failures Shame on the human nature For not giving us the ability to eat Without peeking at our neighbor's plate [Part Two] Stuck between the options ,wishes to prove wrong my conclusion That playing it safe, is playing it same way the others do it Regardless of anything I say How could I do things my way without knowing what my way is As if the world ended daily, everyday is judgement day The room shrunk too much, trying to fit in anyway Sticks and stones can't shape the rock I became But the words and actions of my friends define me more than my name Narrow corridors I follow not to fall off into irrelevance All black and white walls, no room for nuance No room for difference, can't risk staining The fresco of my reputation which defines my position No questions ask, the dress code followed by each Life is something school just can't teach It needed to be experienced to the fullest And can only be so when our devotion to the crew reaches its peak I couldn't know better myself for I know nothing with certainty No time for authenticity, I need them more than they need me Besides, if I close my eyes and follow the hollow path of influence They can't read me
