Say One Thing
Navigating Conflicting Voices: Struggles of Identity
Lyrics
I can't get too much further, thinking this way ya'll
I am facing limitations in my progress, contemplating in this manner, everyone.
Sometimes I feel like I'm losing a winning battle
At times, I feel like I'm on the verge of losing despite the appearance of success.
I can't tell the difference, no, from an enemy to a friend
It's challenging to distinguish between those who oppose and those who support; there's ambiguity.
Don't kick me when I'm down now, just let me be myself
During difficult times, please don't add to my troubles; allow me to express my true self.
Say one thing, do another, got to find a place, need a brother
Expressing the need for sincerity—saying one thing and acting differently, seeking genuine connections.
Say one thing, do another, got to find a place, need a brother
Reiteration of the theme of authenticity, emphasizing the search for a place and the need for genuine relationships.
I don't even have my own opinion
I lack a distinct personal viewpoint; my opinions are influenced or nonexistent.
There's only others
My perspective is shaped solely by others; I don't possess independent thoughts.
Everybody tell me what I shall be
Others dictate what I should become; external voices overshadow my desires.
I don't wanna be them
I resist conforming to external expectations; I don't want to emulate others.
They ain't teaching what they preaching
Critique of the inconsistency between what is taught and what is practiced by others.
I don't fall for that
I am not easily deceived by false teachings; I am discerning and cautious.
Say one thing, do another, got to find a place, need a brother
Reiteration of the importance of sincerity—saying one thing but doing another is a hindrance, seeking authentic connections.
Say one thing, do another, got to find a place, need a brother
Continued emphasis on authenticity and the quest for genuine relationships.
Say one thing, do another, got to find a place, need a brother
Further reinforcement of the need for sincerity and authentic connections.
Say one thing, do another, got to find a place, need a brother
Reiteration of the theme—stressing the importance of authenticity and genuine connections.
