Am I the man I wanna be?

Some days I seem strong,
I tend to carry a lot on me, if it seems wrong-,
-let me know and I’ll move along,
It’s what it means to be me……..
The man that I aspire to be,
The man I hope that I am,
I don’t know where this road is taking me,
-But I believe-
There’s much more to this life than watching B-e-t,
And seeking sleep,
Ducking calls from debt collectors, buying things from qvc,
Knowing that I can’t afford it, wanting things that I don’t need,
What it means to awoke?
What it does it mean to live your dreams?
[Hook]
The man I wanna be is standing in the mirror,
Some people think I’m villainous, some say that I’m their hero,
I got riches in my spirits, though my bank account has zero,
What person do you see on the other side of the mirror?
(Some say that I’m their hero……)
(Though bank account has zero……)
(-when I look in the mirror…..)
The weight of the world has been stitched into my spine……..
Am I rising up?-or, sinking below?
Should I guide the stream?, or let it flow?
(Am I the man I wanna be???????)
