Lyrics:
What's in an identity when I'm an ever-changing entity
Shaped by my past and driven by who I intend to be
My thoughts are based on what I feel inside but also what I see
Surrounding me subconsciously influenced by community
Surround yourself with people who are doing what you want to do
And soon you'll find that what you want from life will manifest through you
There's not a single path that's cut in stone so you don't have to choose
Cause every single road you take will only help enhance your view
We are our decisions, but we make them; they don't make us
Mistakes are not mistakes unless you don't lean, then they're dangerous
As I live with this mentality, find life truly prosperous
In myself and my good people, I trust
Oh, the past in gone so now's the time to be the you you want to be
See the good in yourself, heart and mind will find a unity
Break down the walls around yourself, there's endless possibility
To formulate your beautiful identity
Oh, the past in gone so now's the time to be the you you want to be
See the good in yourself, heart and mind will find a unity
Break down the walls around yourself, there's endless possibility
To formulate your beautiful identity
Born and raised in Montana where the Winter colder, people coldest
To me cause I saw through bullshit, bound to be a nonconformist
Pardon me for knowing that there's more to life than getting drunk and football
Broke away from all of the poisonous assimilation
Made my way into the house show scene where artists were creating
Music for the ears of people different than them, but treated as equals
Went to arts school and met some people kind of like me
Who found jumping through other people's hoops wasn't the right thing
Here, Ima build a life that's right for me
No I am living free
Oh, the past in gone so now's the time to be the you you want to be
See the good in yourself, heart and mind will find a unity
Break down the walls around yourself, there's endless possibility
To formulate your beautiful identity
Oh, the past in gone so now's the time to be the you you want to be
See the good in yourself, heart and mind will find a unity
Break down the walls around yourself, there's endless possibility
To formulate your beautiful identity
Cherish the people who cherish you, and
If you're not cherished where you're at, just leave
All of the negative people will perish soon
At the hands of their own greed
Don't let them tame your mind
Cause you're an individual, you can think for yourself
Don't let them waste your time
Telling you how the sole purpose of human existence is to acquire wealth
Spread your wings and fly away
And never look back on the people who doubted you, not even you
I believe your life will change
As soon as you change your point of view
Oh, the past in gone so now's the time to be the you you want to be
See the good in yourself, heart and mind will find a unity
Break down the walls around yourself, there's endless possibility
To formulate your beautiful identity
Oh, the past in gone so now's the time to be the you you want to be
See the good in yourself, heart and mind will find a unity
Break down the walls around yourself, there's endless possibility
To formulate your beautiful identity
