Worth It

This message exist in the world today

but you might need to hear it

in a different way.

From someone not famous or infamous,

not rich or poor,

not running around on legislative floors trying to change minds so we can take a vote.

Nah,

this ain’t like that at all.

See I don’t need a vote to swing my way

or anyone to table this for another day.

The time is now for you to hear this truth

that needs yelled out

from the top of roofs.

It’s important to me

and it should be to you;

and who the hell am I to tell you what to do?

Just a regular guy not afraid to say or do what I need to do

to get this message to you

before its too late

and something gets in the way

that keeps you from believing what i have to say.

So lets clear the air

get the shit out the way,

that someone might of said to you along the way.

On purpose or not

they started the rot

inside your mind, your heart and your guts

that eats you alive,

if you let it.

I’m begging you now, throw all that away.

All the lies and bullshit said to keep you restrained.

Spoken by cowards and ignorant mouths,

slaves to their own anger and doubts.

Destructive and ugly in all that they say

never lifting you up in a positive way.

Fuck all that noise,

we end it today.

I want you to rise up when you hear what I say.

Don’t care where you grew up or the place where you stay.

Kings and queens of this earth from the time of our birth,

even before that you had value and worth

greater than gold, diamonds or pearls.

There’s treasure inside you to share with the world

Four words is all I want you to say.

Feel them, believe them and repeat them all day.

Forget all the haters, they get in the way.

They come and go but you’re here to stay.

Repeat after me:

I am worth it.

Now say it again and believe it this time.

I am worth it.

Now yell if you can with all the breath in your lungs.

I am worth it!

Accept it as truth and invest in yourself.

What you have inside is greater than wealth

or fame

or fortune

or the light of the sun.

Like my homie J.A. will say till he’s done,

love you, love yourself, one.
