let 'em think whatever

Look From Within

Intro

Yeah, you gotta be alright with people making up their own stories. Let 'em talk, let 'em think whatever they want. It’s about your peace at the end of the day. Check it.

Verse 1

I used to look for validation in the crowded streets

Trying to match the rhythm of a thousand different beats

But keeping up with their opinions got too heavy to hold

Selling out my peace just to do what I was told

Now I step back and let the world do what it does (yeah)

No more chasing after credit or a temporary buzz

I lock the door to my mind and keep the key inside

Walking down the block with my head held high

Looking at the reflection of the clear blue sky

They can say what they want when they pass me by

I don't look back, I just move ahead with pride

Counting up my blessings, I got more than a few

Every single morning brings a feeling that's new

Walking through the city with a vision in hand (so Majestic)

People like to judge what they don't understand

Keeping my focus on the love and the light

Chorus

Your perception of me is an illusion you made

My happiness is real and it's never gonna fade

Protecting my mental health, keeping it clear (real talk)

Living in the positive, letting go of the fear

Verse 2

You can think what you want, it don't phase me at all

I built a strong foundation so I never will fall

Looking at the clock, it says three in the afternoon

Tuning my perspective to a beautiful tune

The need to be accepted by the crowd is a trap

I'd rather find my purpose on a different map

Soulful vibrations running deep through my veins

Breaking every boundary and shaking off chains

One time for the people who are finding their way (yeah)

Two times for the ones who got nothing to say

We building up a legacy that's built to endure

Keeping our intentions and our energy pure

No time for the drama or the regular noise

Standing in my power with a natural poise

A real boss knows how to guard his own space (boss)

Moving with a smile and a steady slow pace

Chorus

Your perception of me is an illusion you made

My happiness is real and it's never gonna fade

Protecting my mental health, keeping it clear (real talk)

Living in the positive, letting go of the fear

Bridge

Letting go of the weight that I carried before

Opening up the windows and unlocking the door

It’s a beautiful day when you realize your worth

Finding your heaven right here on the earth

Verse 3

Five years ago I would have worried a lot

Stressed about the things that I hadn't quite got

But maturity teaches you to look from within

Knowing that your peace is the ultimate win

I look at my family and I see the true wealth

Taking care of business and my personal health

No approvals needed from a voice outside

Walking with an urban flow, full of true pride (so Majestic)

Ninety-eight percent positive, that is the goal

Feeding something good to the depth of my soul

Grounded in the truth as the day turns to night

Every single step that I take feels right

I'm thankful for the lessons that have made me this wise

Seeing through the trickery and all of the lies

Keeping it authentic every day of the week

Speaking from the heart every time that I speak

Chorus

Your perception of me is an illusion you made

My happiness is real and it's never gonna fade

Protecting my mental health, keeping it clear (real talk)

Living in the positive, letting go of the fear

Outro

Yeah. So let 'em keep talking, let 'em keep guessing. Their opinion don't pay the bills, and it definitely don't define who you are. Keep your mind right. Keep your peace locked in. (yeah) Real talk.
