Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Yeah, day one
Robert de Boron on the tracks
Japan, uh-huh
[Verse 2]
Yeah, come out of your shell and be your favorite you
Nobody can tell you how to pay your dues
Livin' your life and takin' in the huge
The water and sky above, amazing blues
[Verse 3]
Don't hide your smile and imperfections
Don't cover your skin and your reflection
Take down that wall, there's no protection
'Cause life moves on in your direction
[Verse 4]
Find your soul up in that haystack
Let your success be your payback
Just rise like the rose through the concrete
Reachin' to dig our own graves way beyond deep
[Verse 5]
This is for those who feel neglected
This is an embrace to the rejected
This is motivation when life is hectic
Don't suppress your feelings, just express it
[Verse 6]
Come out of your shell and live life
The future is bright, follow the light
Better live before you go in the night
'Cause wastin' time comes with a price
[Verse 7]
Come out of your shell and live life
The future is bright, follow the light
Better live before you go in the night
'Cause wastin' time comes with a price
[Verse 8]
I walk in the shoes of all the rotten
Downtrodden, more or less to forgotten
I understand the feeling of inequity
From where the only escape is chase celebrity
[Verse 9]
Our dreams as children could be our destiny
I knew my path before I could write legibly
Jump hurdles, obstacles, and adversity
'Cause bein' someone else, it couldn't work for me
[Verse 10]
Believe it or not, I didn't fit in
When I was a kid, I'm not kiddin'
Too smart for the thugs, too dumb for the nerds
I started numbin' my pain by crumblin' herb
[Verse 11]
I started gettin' in trouble and rebellin'
On the one way ticket to be a felon
Then I saw the light and what I could be
Then I grabbed the mic, MC, I should be
[Verse 12]
Come out of your shell and live life
The future is bright, follow the light
Better live before you go in the night
'Cause wastin' time comes with a price
[Verse 13]
Come out of your shell and live life
The future is bright, follow the light
Better live before you go in the night
'Cause wastin' time comes with a price
[Verse 14]
Find your peace with who you are
Your life is a movie and you the star
The person you see in the mirror
Is a shell of your soul, I see clearer
[Verse 15]
I use my heart to look within
'Cause the human exists under the skin
I know it's crazy, the world we live in
There's more reason to stand out and not blend
[Verse 16]
Express yourself and who you are
Live every day like no tomorrow
'Cause freedom is a blessing if you hearin' this
From your nation's freedom you claim benefit
[Verse 17]
There's kids somewhere duckin' and shellin'
Escapin' war and some are rebellin'
Some kids are surrounded by felons
Crime and drug sellin', death comes by tellin'
[Verse 18]
If you're free than just be that
Turn your music up loud, forget the feedback
Negativity, we never need that
Live inside out, I do believe that
[Verse 19]
Come out of your shell to live life
The future is bright, follow the light
Better live before you go in the night
'Cause wastin' time comes with a price
[Verse 20]
Come out of your shell and live life
The future is bright, follow the light
Better live before you go in the night
'Cause wastin' time comes with a price
[Verse 21]
Come out of your shell and live life
The future is bright, follow the light
Better live before you go in the night
'Cause wastin' time comes with a price
