Lyrics
Hey brother!
What's your next move?
Every step along the way
to yourself be true.
The treasure's not outside,
it's 'inside' of you.
Remember this
maybe you'll have a break through.
Life's map led you
through a pool of sharks.
Your thrashing got you bit.
It was a test of your heart.
Learning who you are's like
runnin' in the dark.
Gotcha thinkin' what you have to do
is listen to your LBV...
Don't you listen to your LBV
LBV - It's not yo' mama, it's your LBV
LBV - Don't you listen to your LBV
LBV - Creatin' drama. It's your LBV
Some obstacles are real.
Some are in your mind.
You learn to know the difference.
Learn to know the signs.
You will face the dragon
time after time.
Maybe a punch in the nose is better...
...than wondering if you are hard enough.
Life ain't TikTok, you can't afford to get soft.
A bully may be ugly, but they aren't so tough.
That little bitch voice...just chatter!
LBV - Don't you listen to your LBV
LBV - It's not yo' mama, it's your LBV
LBV - Don't you listen to your LBV
LBV - Such drama. It's your LBV
It's always gonna be there,
that little voice,
pushing you directions
that you should avoid.
By now you oughta know
that you have a choice.
Consequences will follow.
A screaming in your mind
"There might be pain!"
You FAIL and hear a whisper say
"Won't do that again!"
Pain and failure line the road to meaningful gains.
Fear will keep you in the shallows.
LBV - Don't you listen to your LBV
LBV - It's not your mama, it's your LBV
LB.. - Only you can hear it, it's your LBV
LBV - Too much drama. It's your LBV
1/15/24 - 1/25/24
