It's What You Are
Embrace Your Truth: It's What You Are
Lyrics
It's what you say and what you do
Actions and words define you
It's how you feel, it's what you are
It encompasses your emotions and essence
It's in the way you see the world
It's about your perspective on the world
Choices you've made it's what you are
Your identity is shaped by the decisions you've made
You're in a vice and in the eyes of all the people
You're judged by others' perceptions and scrutiny
What you are (It's what you are)
Defined by societal judgment
You've been accused and there's no use in trying to fight
Futile to defend against accusations
Just what you are
Acceptance of self as is
They say love's an ocean
Love compared to an ocean but felt as a smaller entity
But it's more of a lake
Expectation versus reality regarding love
The path to your redemption
Redemption is based on external perceptions
Is whatever they say
Redemption defined by others' opinions
They'll tell you lies, they'll cheat to win, they won't give in
Others may deceive and manipulate to succeed
That's what you are
Defined by the willingness to deceive for gain
You've got your eyes fixed on the prize you won't give in
Determined pursuit of a goal despite challenges
That's who you are
Resolute nature despite obstacles
A couple people doin' evil doesn't get to you
Evil acts of a few don't influence your beliefs
You face tradition with conviction
Confronting norms with strong beliefs
And you break on through
Breaking through conventions
It's what you do
Action defines your essence
It's what you are
Actions reflect who you are
They say love's an ocean
Love's grandeur contrasted with reality
But it's more of a lake
Love perceived differently than its ideal
The path to your redemption
Redemption subject to external judgment
Is whatever they say
Perceptions shape the path to redemption
How many people gonna give it
How many give their all?
A hundred percent? I shouldn't listen, nah
Ignoring advice, hesitant to commit fully
Workaholic I admit it
Admitting to being a workaholic, avoiding confrontation
Baby I run don't wanna face it. Ahh
Avoidance and reluctance to face difficulties
I love what I am, and you can't take it
Embracing self despite external pressure
You want me to hide and you can shame me, ahh
Resisting societal pressure to conform
Never again, I will not pretend
Refusing pretense or falsehood in identity
I am what I am, not gonna fake it nah
Firm in authenticity, refusing to be insincere
