Verse One
I used to have a vision; It was magnificent
My dreams became contagious; My vibes were resonant
Distractions and misdirection; I became indifferent
I lost my motivation; Became inert, lazy and stagnant
Verse Two
The mission I was given; The places I was sent
The corners of the earth turned out; To be too distant
The honor and the glory; For which I was destined
The path laid out before me; Was not where I went
Verse Three
The talents entrusted to me; I buried every cent
The loans to get me through; Didn’t go to pay the rent
The walls I tried to tear down; I couldn’t make a dent
I wish I wasn’t worthless; I wish I was intelligent
Chorus
I know better than to tell you what I think
I know better than to tell you who I am
I know better than to tell you what I’ve done
I know the truth will ensure that I’m condemned
I know better than to tell you how I feel
I know better than to tell you where I’ve been
I know better than to tell you what I want
Responding honestly I wouldn’t recommend
