Am I Wrong
D'Mixmasters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Am I wrong for saying that I choose another way?
I ain′t trying to do what everybody else doing
Just cause everybody doing what they all do
If one thing I know, I'll fall but I′ll grow
I'm walking down this road of mine, this road that I call home
So am I wrong?
Now am I wrong?
For trying to reach the things that I can't see?
But that′s just how I feel
That′s just how I feel
That's just how I feel
Trying to reach the things that I can′t see
Am I tripping for having a vision?
My prediction, I'ma be on the top of the world
Walk your walk and don′t look back, always do what you decide
Don't let them control your life, that′s just how I feel
Fight for yours and don't let go, don't let them compare you, no
Don′t worry, you′re not alone, that's just how we feel
Am I wrong? (Am I wrong?)
For thinking that we could be something for real?
(Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Now am I wrong?
For trying to reach the things that I can′t see?
(Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah)
But that's just how I feel
That′s just how I feel
That's just how I feel
Trying to reach the things that I can′t see
If you tell me I'm wrong, wrong
I don't wanna be right, right
If you tell me I′m wrong, wrong
I don′t wanna be right
If you tell me I'm wrong, wrong
I don′t wanna be right, right
If you tell me I'm wrong, wrong
I don′t wanna be right
Am I wrong?
For thinking that we could be something for real?
Now am I wrong?
For trying to reach the things that I can't see?
But that′s just how I feel
That's just how I feel
That's just how I feel
Trying to reach the things that I can′t see
So am I wrong? (Am I wrong?)
For thinking that we could be something for real?
(Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Now am I wrong? (Am I wrong?)
For trying to reach the things that I can′t see?
(Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah)
But that's just how I feel
That′s just how I feel
That's just how I feel
Trying to reach the things that I can′t see
