Michael Ryan - Shallow lyrics

I wanna say I'm sorry I haven't been true to you, you knew, what I had to do, its true We knew I would stray from my roots What do I do, I've strayed from my crew I'm new, you knew Society changes you Happily embraces you But I just wish that you people would see how it changes you then disgraces you It's rare to find people with their eyes open Mind open A sign that I've woken I'm real to you, my heart's wide open They see me doing music and ask if I'm jokin' Then I go to school like a stupid mule 'cause school will teach the sk**s that you need and you'll (sarcasm) Need as a human being Teach to love yourself If you don't love yourself, you can't get it from someone else Why you living life under worthless debt? You work for respect, not for a worthless check You broke your neck Trapped under a circus net And just 'cause you got money don't mean you deserve respect You wanna be a doctor? Great I'll be a rapper Just know fame and money isn't what I'm after Getting in touch with myself Awaken some people I talk about humanity's greatness and evil Stupid 12 year old kids think I'm irrelevant Good for them, they won't understand my benevolence They won't understand it ‘till they get some maturity Replay this song when you're miserable and 30 Most adults can't comprehend what I'm saying Child's mind, society has them playing They won't understand a single message I'm conveying They wanna get numb from the game of life they are playing Yeah I wish I knew the world As a different one One where the first world doesn't exploit the third world One where the first world doesn't encourage all the things we're told not to do Drinking, smoking, gambling We live to work for the wealthy
