Morals
Living all over the world taught me when I was little
I must not look for foreign approval, I need to mold not just wittle
Myself is really the only one I need
Real friends will stay by me for every success and bad deed
A professional ego is what I grew into
Humility on the outside
But look deeper it hits you
Arrogant only in business and it rarely comes out
But outside of that I know who I am without doubt
This city's what taught me
The culture's what taught me
I keep to myself
I ride an old camry, no need for bugatti
And I keep few close friends
And don't care for the trends
Consistency is what's in
I spoke more than one language, learned self defense as a kid
But is that where it stops, is that all that I did?
Oh no!
The rest of my life's up for bid
To learn even more languages in life
To us self defense when comes strife
And with this, I can get through life by myself
Morals, that's what I put on my shelf
The basic ideas to the ones I shaped in the shop
And the ones I learned as a child
I will fulfill till I drop
And never stop.
Analyze, don't just notice
Not just to look but to focus.
Praying mantis, not just a locust
Be advanced, but ingenious
And next to Godliness is cleanness.
I may never meet the Pope,
But I am a person worth meeting.
I'm Indian, I may never get a fever,
But I am a person worth treating.
And Lebron may never play
but I am a person worth beating.
This ego buried deep inside
but humility coats my human hide
A civil moat contains my complex pride
And as I sprint through moist and dry
The high the low, Everest, The Nile
From my hometown to my homeland
In my own words, be always real,
and live by morals, life's in my hands.
