Born in the countryside dreaming of American life

Just like the ones in the tv shows I watched everyday.

The shows with the rich dad surrounded by his kids and wife

Not the ones with the poor man living payday to payday,

I didn’t need to watch it after all I was living that life.

There was nothing I wanted more than to throw it away,

Why can’t I be like them I thought

Why must I suffer and they have it all

Sadly no one had the answers to questions that I sought

But that was no reason for me to be stumped at the brick wall

It’s my life, I can do whatever I want

I’ll change my future so that the me of the past will feel daunt.

Just like how everything comes and goes

This life is not for me, it's time for me to show it the door

So that I can have control of my life and not my shadows

I won’t let the past control my life anymore
