Notice A Difference? Lyrics by Sam Mackey

Take It OR Leave It

2013

[Verse 1: Sam Mackey]
Let me take you back a year ago
Was I a member of society? No
I've done a lot of work since then
Cause nowadays I wake up in the morning
Got a new routine, slow but its forming
Start the day off with a prayer so I can stay aware
That who I am is not depicted by my clothes or my hair
Step into the bathroom, brush my teeth and wash the mask away
So I can deal with the stresses of today
In an honest authentic way
It's not about my faults or my success
Its about what I learn and how I progress
Can I own my selfishness?
And be happy practicing selflessness?
Caught in this thing called ego
Its got me convinced that I'm the dopest amigo
But we know that's my insecurities come to get the best of me
So I'm gonna stick with the routine and the recipe
And with that I'm left humble
Reaching out for help
Cause I respect myself
No longer a shell laying dormant on the shelf
Cause I mistook guilt for shame
I'm worthless became my favorite saying
Manipulation became a mastered game
And Sam Mackey had no meaning to her name
It's too easy to admit my wrongs
I feel uncomfortable when I say I am strong
It's a work in progress
I'm an addict with a bad habit that I can confess
But here's the true test
I'm proud to say I am openly gay
And I am worth a good life today
I am a survivor, came from the concrete
Now I stand tall with shoes on my feet
I finally got food to eat and a roof over my head
I great full for those and extra great full or a bed
Not too proud to let a tear shed
And I can sit in a chair and finally feel content
In my own body and skin
Life is no longer a game I feel I need to win
I'm safe now no need to run
Don't have to prove anything to anyone
I'm living the simple life just doing what I love
Writing music so I can rise above
Working on the education, yeah I like that
Cause knowledge is power and you know that's a fact
You see this mixtape gives you a choice
Take it or leave it, learn to use your own voice
