Modesty Lyrics by Jordan James

Modesty/Luxury EP

2016

[Verse: Jordan James]
Everyone is so quick to acclaim
Themselves critically and stand on
A pedestal for those they deem lesser
To see, while looking down on the world
Their ego expanded, with sharp teeth
They swallow each gasp of air like they
Need more than others to breathe
I wonder often each day if what this
World needs is a little less pride and
A dose of modesty, and a little honesty
Shedding some light, and I'll surely admit I've
Been the one in my rhetoric but I'm trying
To work on it, I'm on a path to my betterment
If we can all walk it together and realize
We're all equal, maybe the change we
Create can join us as one people
So let's join hands, no bands to bind us
Realize we're all mankind and be kind
And selfless, all this hate makes no sense

[PreChorus: Jordan James]
Do you value modesty over a life of luxury
And humanity over getting rich while others
Struggle for needs?

[Chorus: Jordan James]
Will you practice modesty?
Will you walk the things you preach
And will you actually do something
To help those in need?
These are questions that I ask myself
Because I want to believe that when
I achieve my goals that I'll be everything
That I want to see change in this world
And not do it for reward, and not set
Myself above anyone else
Would it be ironic to believe in myself?

[PreChorus]
