Know Yourself Songtext
von Syer B

This one′s for anyone
That's ever felt like anything
They ever do will never win
Every time you assume you are moving in the right direction
The pendulum swings
Another change for the worse
Another change of the wind

Another day goes by that there ain′t no time
That there ain't no finding this rainbow of mine
Not a day goes by
You don't say to yourself I′m unworthy
You sit there hating yourself
Looking at the rest of the world like it owes you
Then you start blaming yourself

Looking all around like there ain′t no one about
What you gonna do? Turn on yourself?

You better figure out what it is you're about
Before you start burning yourself

Know yourself


Control yourself

Grow yourself into something they can never own as well

Hold yourself

Devote yourself

You better know yourself in a world that′s cold

You better know yourself and control
'Cause them feelings there they just grow
Believe me brother I know
′Cause I've been there once I′ve been low
You gotta fight hard to come back
Even though it might start to feel that
No matter how hard you hit they hit back
Get up off the floor son and get back

Get back to the raw graft and hard work
Don't underestimate what that's worth
When you′re feeling like you can′t do this shit no more

Use the pain and that hurt

Some of us feel like we've been cursed
But this is real life and it hurts


Suffering feels hard but in turn confirms
That the real ones that get burnt observe and learn

Know yourself
Control yourself
Grow yourself into something they can never own as well
Hold yourself
Devote yourself

You better know yourself in a world that′s cold like a frozen hell
Know yourself
Control yourself
Grow yourself into something they can never own as well
Hold yourself
Devote yourself
You better know yourself in a world that's cold
This one′s for anyone

That knows that the struggle is real
You feel like there ain't no way out of this feeling
You′ve lost control like there's somebody else at the wheel
When you just can't steer away from that fear

That′s been holding you back for all these years
No way you can hide from yourself in this life
You can try but life′s gonna find you in here
I keep reminding myself I'm a titan in here
′Cause I've been there trying to decipher the meaning of why I am here
Born August the 1st I′m a lion in here
I've been that boy with the fire in here
But when I get inside of my mind
I never know what I am gonna find when I climb in here
There was a time when I could never write no rhymes

No matter how hard I tried

My bro would stand there and tell me that

I am a dick for not writing these lines
And I would say looks like I inherited dad′s pessimistic side
Then I would let shit slide
I was an idiot thinking that I could just live my life
With all that locked up tight
Like an animal cage you can't trap that rage
You can try but what's locked inside will just eat you alive

Like a virus surviving on the frightened
If you′re finding yourself in the same mindset as what I did

Don′t let it beat you
No defeatist ever succeeded
So when it feels like it's getting too much
Breathe deep and be this

Know yourself
Control yourself
Grow yourself into something they can never own as well
Hold yourself
Devote yourself

You better know yourself in a world that′s cold like a frozen hell
Know yourself
Control yourself
Grow yourself into something they can never own as well
Hold yourself
Devote yourself
You better know yourself in a world that's cold
