about

This track is about people always trying to criticize me, telling me what to do, when, where, how, and why to do it. However, it dares them to try walking a mile in my shoes and going through what I go through for themselves, or at the very least looking at their own lives instead of everybody else's.

lyrics

owadays it seems everyone has to something to say
About everyone else except their own situations (2)
Hiding under the cloak that they call free speech
Ready to preach, teach, like a freak on a leash (4)
Not saying I’m better, not saying I got it together
Not saying I’m smarter or even farther than your college professor (6)
not saying whatever, whenever, or wherever is wrong
Just saying the power of what comes out of your mouth is strong (8)
I dare you to walk a day in my shoes,
before you tell me which way to choose (10)
What to say, do and think
And where to eat, sleep and drink (12)
Who to talk to, when and why
My time to live and time to die (14)
Did you bring me to where I am?
Then let go of my feet and hands (16)
Many people want control
But would rather not a live a life of their own (18)
Well I dare them to try before they condemn
Cause they don’t know me and I don’t know them (20)

( Hook: Don’t know them)
They don’t even know me
I hear em talking, i dare them to try, they think they control me, I’m all in, i dare them to try)

Truth or dare, which would you choose
Even if it meant either which way you lose? (2)
Tell the truth and get exposed, then everyone will know
Or dare and see the world through the eyes of your foe (4)
Become your so called enemy, no longer pretending to be
Knowing all the facts about my fate and destiny (6)
You can’t expect me to live up to your expectations
When your standard of morality is corrupt communication (8)
So quick to speak, but slow to act
Receive it all but give none back (10)
Stuck inside your way of thinking
Even if the ship is sinking (12)
Want to call all the shots
But blame someone else when the ball is dropped (14)
What kind of leader forgets to follow?
No wonder your heart seems so hollow (16)
Tomorrow is not promised to any man
If u only knew, then you would understand (18)
Yet u don’t, wanna act like a gem
But they don’t know me and I don’t know them (20)
(Hook)
If you only knew the pain that I endured
Just to get where I am(2)
Like a cure, no more long-suffering
Freedom in its truest form, so comforting (4)
This is not the end, this is just the beginning
I’m my own conductor, not a slave to the rhythm (6)
I dare you, matter of fact, double dare
For you to take up your cross and walk with care (8)
Dare them to dream, dare them to know
Dare them to step out of their comfort zone (10)
Dare them to do more than just good enough
Dare them to show up, grow up, and go up (12)
dare them to speak the truth and live by it
Dare them to keep peace during a riot (14)
Even if alone I stand
They don’t know me and I don’t know them (16)
(Hook)
