Comparison Kills

I can only speak from my world

Where almost everyone has what they need

Other nations live with sickness

But over here we die from jealousy

'Cause it makes you chase what's not meant to be chased

'Cause you've possessed it all along

It comes to steal and hide what is real

Comparison kills

You spend all night admiring pictures

They make life look perfect, as they should

But you don't know the picture's story

And how long it took to make it good

It makes you consider shoes you don't like

But when that shoe doesn't fit

Wear what you will, despite how they feel

Comparison kills

The grass was fine till it looked greener on the other side

Now you're believin' that you fell behind

But why to match what should be one-of-a-kind?

You're one-of-a-kind

We all wanna be successful

And get mad when God's not in a rush

Waste your time just making copies

You'll see you did not accomplish much

Pressure gets hot, and with heat come mirages

So you think it's cool over there

Your thirst is real, but water can't fill what

Comparison kills

He feels what you feel, so ask God to heal

What comparison kills

Pressure gets hot, and with heat come mirages

So you think it's cool over there

Your thirst is real, but water can't fill what

Comparison kills
