Obsessed and Dedicated are better than Lazy and Entitled
In a world that is filled with ignorance and greed
How do any of us have a chance to succeed
A nation divided to keep the little man down
And expected to stay quiet and not make a sound
We are destined for greatness with no direction or clarity
As we look ahead confused and unable to see
Unable to see what success truly feels like
An image of Euphoria and living larger than life
Our problem is that we have become so engulfed in our dreams
That we have lost touch of reality and what living life really means
We are born with this purity. This sense of innocence
But we listen to the media. Our family and friends.
To what should be done to reach success
In living life with wealth, fame and excess
We scroll and we scroll through social media pages
To see images and lies of those who said they made it
The hard work and grinding is never posted
Because you can’t take a picture of dedication and devotion
The ones who grind did it in the shadows of the dark
Where the transformation from dreams to reality make their start
Today so many people feel entitled it’s crazy
Their sense of entitlement should just be summed up as lazy
Obsessed is a word the lazy use to describe the dedicated
But really obsession and dedicated are so closely related
Those who reach success may appear to be obsessed
They tend to forge their own paths and not follow like the rest
So before you go on and judge those stuggling to make it
Take a look in the mirror and ask “What makes you so great?”
What gives you the right to provide your opinion?
To someone that is in a place where you’ve never been
Provide words of encouragement and some positive vibes
Or do what you do best and step to the side
Because if you don’t know it by now it is probably too late
I am already succeeding in living life better than great
