Lyrics
Yeah, NPR, what's up
My name is Gideon from Oceanside, California
and I'm blessed to be able to submit my music to you Guys
with Mark on the drums
We are Amplified Studios
This song is called A Message To Me
but it could really be a message to anybody
You feel me
Let's go
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I take a look at my life and realize that I'm blessed
Because this life can get taken so I'm never forsaken
Anybody I call family, but people don't know
The difference between being a team and going solo
Soulo taught me that I gotta do better, so that's on Me
The weight of the world is light when that's on me
Both parents in and out the ICU
I see you working and I'm giving you props
Stop procrastinating or you'll end up like your pops
World don't revolve around you
So make someone else's day when you say the Things that's in your brain
It's hard to maintain, but when you got no choice
It's only right you speak up cause you got that voice
So anytime you pick up the mic
Be sure you always get right before you get left
Thinking what's next
Blessed, yeah
This a message to me, yes
This a message to me, yes
This a message to me, and the world don't know no Better
So they feeding us fake cheddar, yeah
This a message to me, yes, yes
This a message to me, yes, listen
This a message to me, and the world don't know no Better
So they feeding us fake cheddar, yeah
So the next time you thinking you don't matter
Erase every ounce of that thought
Cause the time don't wait for no one, literally
So I owe it to you
Be true to yourself, but that's selfish if you think About it
This ain't what they want, all they want is impossible
But I'ma give it to them
The city know my name cause I read it to them
I'ma keep on speaking, be the voice of reason
A community beacon, be a pillar to the ones that Know
Or even to the ones that don't, who want the smoke
My ego never broke, but I'm modest
Cause honesty never really been a joke
I was born woke, but the meaning changed over Time
So now backpedal and just say words that rhyme
Nevermind, plot success, mega-mind
Rusty, but I shine through the abyss
The life I live is limitless, let me get your hands up Like this
Yeah, this a message to me, yes, yes
This a message to me, yeah, yeah
This a message to me, and the world don't know no Better
So they feeding us fake cheddar, yeah
This a message to me, yeah, yeah
This a message to me, and maybe you, and you, and You, and you too
Yeah, world don't know no better, they feeding us fake cheddar, yeah
