Dear Me Lyrics by Proper Channels

Scenes

2020

[Verse 1: Bon Mot]
You think you're gonna be a lawyer or a doctor
Paranoia ain't a problem, you gone do some college proper
So naive you thinking Ivy League like Harvard
Hardly ever got 'em, so confused on values of a dollar
And as the time progress you find the sciences to hold your interest best
Rather than the lying or the dying breaths
Out of state seems great for an escape
But that will fade the day you realize all your friends are gonna stay
And you say it's ‘cause you hate the heat or rain
But behind every new complaint the truth is you're afraid
Change is dangerous ‘till you rearrange your major
Switching to business since nobody's paying for the extra year
Yeah you hate it, practice patience and complacency
Only thing retained would be the lessons heard perfected here
And he ain’t happy, but your Dad says that he’s proud of ya
Mom's not, Bon Mot's just a cop-out of college but
You tried less hours and staying in
Just to find out it takes 40 a week to pay your rent
You come home for 6, you miss class at 10
And wonder why the same shit keeps happening
But stay strong, take long drives just to crash the whip
Lose it, few years ‘till you're back in it
Moving, job to job, find your purpose in a glass of gin
Consolation prize, you'll be pretty good at rapping, kid
[Chorus: Aleah Hyer]
Stay true
(Ayy, ayy, don’t let ‘em change you)
Be you
(Ayy, ayy, don’t let ‘em change you)
Stay true
(Ayy, ayy, don’t let ‘em change you)
Be you
(Be you, don't let 'em change you)
[Verse 2: Plot Device]
You’re being taught that it don’t matter
Fit in with that old pattern
Trick ya with the gold platter
Prick ya make ya go faster
Got you by the ears, by the books, any methods
Making skeptics with their efforts but you’ll question every lesson
They measure by profession, which you’ll constantly be guessing
But no stressing, the path before you is the best one
Stick to it, through it meet humans like-minded
Through that proper channel’s guidance
Grow yourself, stay defiant
One message uttered to my former self
Fuck ‘em all, don’t listen to nobody else
Take it all in, the good and the bad, myth and the fact
Mix it with laughs, step back, think a minute on that
Revisit the past, but only for a quick trip
And don’t get trapped in the system if you can’t fix it
Keep them eyes open, and them ears too
And pay attention to everything and everyone near you
[Chorus: Aleah Hyer]
Stay true
(Ayy, ayy, don’t let ‘em change you)
Be you
(Ayy, ayy, don’t let ‘em change you)
Stay true
(Ayy, ayy, don’t let ‘em change you)
Be you
(Be you, don't let 'em change you)
[Outro: Aleah Hyer]
Stay true
(Ayy, be you, be you, be you, and never ever let 'em change you)
Be you
(Stay true, stay true to you, don't let 'em change you )
Stay true
(Be you,be you, don't let 'em change you)
Be you
(Be you, be you, be you, don't let 'em change you)
Stay true
Be you
