Sitting Dove - Here Anyway lyrics

Oooh, hey hey....hey-hey-hey (Repeat) I know they I wish I wasn't, but I'm here anyway Probably not for long, I doubt they'll let me stay Now that I found my swagger, I found my sway I found my flow and I can rhyme all day I was born into a dream, part curse, part grace Gain status over soul was the deal that was made This status gave me comfort, and it gave me space But it didn't give me what I'd need to handle all the hate To deal with those who've knocked me ever since I was a babe As I'd try fail try fail, they'd celebrate They'd do it out of spite or just some jealous rage Or 'cause I had the guts to seek some Truth and live my faith They'd malign my character and they'd say those thangs They didn't even have the guts to say it to my face What I want to tell 'em now is it's a brand new day I won't ignore the hits and I won't look the other way So ya better think deeper, watch what you say 'Cause you come at me again, it could be your last day Can't say you weren't on blast before your Judgement Day Will you elevate or will your soul be laid to waste Will you elevate or will your soul be laid to waste (Repeat) Oooh, hey hey....hey-hey-hey (Repeat) I know they I wish I wasn't, but I'm here anyway But probably not for long, I doubt they'll let me stay Now that I found my swagger, I found my sway I found my flow and I can rhyme all day I headed west to Hollywood, to get as far away From the soulless state of being in which I was raised By those country club pricks, thought they had it made Uptight and full of judgement and that bigoted hate So blinded patriotic to how they're getting played By Mr. Uncle Sam, the good ole USA How the military's run by those who run the banks Along with Hollywood and most the global corporate state They'd say they were Christian, though love seemed far away So sure they had it right, so set in their ways Just hint their life might be a lie they get irate Deep down I think they know there is a better way The mindset's taught to everyone in different ways Even if you're taught the opposite, it's kind of the same And when it's taught with certitude to kids, it's hard to shape That mean, petty mindset still haunts me today That mean, petty mindset still haunts me today Oooh, hey hey....hey-hey-hey (Repeat) I know they I wish I wasn't, but I'm here anyway Probably not for long, I doubt they'll let me stay Now that I found my swagger, I found my sway I found my flow and I can rhyme all day We all come seeking fortune, most come for fame Some come seeking fun, some have some things to say But this town can beat you down and turn your love to hate Have you flashin' back to that from which you ran away You got to keep on working, labor through your pain When you're lashin' out, fumblin', stumblin' round the maze You got to give it all and learn to love the pain Fight through the sneers 'n jeers to make your brand new day Fight through the sneers 'n jeers to make your brand new day Oooh, hey hey....hey-hey-hey (Repeat) I know they I wish I wasn't, but I'm here anyway Probably not for long, I doubt they'll let me stay Now that I found my swagger, I've found my sway I found my flow and I can rhyme all day (Repeat)
