Mind Games
K.A.A.N. Lyrics

Original and unique yeah
I am my own person with my own identity

Spontaneous and louder
I am unpredictable and not afraid to speak my mind

Daring and alive yeah
I take risks and live life to the fullest

Outrages and crazy
I may act in unconventional ways that others don't understand

I'm really frustrated
I am feeling angry and powerless

Because this world is full of hatred
I am experiencing discrimination and intolerance from others

I'll not change my trait
I will remain true to myself and my identity

Because people discriminate
Because others are judging me unfairly based on my appearance or beliefs

I'm not gonna blow
I will not become violent or aggressive

Because i'm feeling really low
Because I am feeling sad and defeated

I'll stay upbeat
I will try to remain positive and optimistic despite the negativity from others

Though i'm Burly's prey and meat
Even though others view me as someone to be bullied and attacked

They tease and insult and discriminate
Others are hurting me with their words and actions

Cause they truly actually hate
Because they have deep-seated hatred and prejudice within themselves

Themselves and not I
They are projecting their self-hatred onto me

They take it out on me, That's sly
They are being sneaky and cowardly by targeting me

Colour, Religion and more
People are discriminating against me because of my race, religion, or other traits

Being mean is what they adore
They get pleasure from being cruel to others

I'm really annoyed at what they say
I am upset and frustrated at the hurtful things others are saying to me

If I could i'd magic them away
I wish I could make the bullies disappear and be free from their torment

Looking you didn't really see that i'm special
You are judging me unfairly and not seeing my true worth

Don't play, don't play, don't play your mind games
I am refusing to be manipulated or controlled by your mental tricks

Trying, trying to change me
You are attempting to make me conform to your expectations and standards

But you criticised
You are finding fault with everything I do

Control my life, my life, my life
You are attempting to dictate and govern my existence

I've been told that i'm not tough
People are belittling me for not being strong or resilient enough

I've heard that junk more than enough
I am tired of hearing the same hurtful comments over and over again

People always call me names
I am being insulted and degraded with hurtful labels

They always play their hostile games
They are engaging in a pattern of aggressive and hurtful behavior towards me

I know that I've done no wrong
I am confident in my own morality and ethics

I'm getting closer to erupting
My anger and frustration are increasing and nearing a boiling point

It makes me feel like self-destructing
The bullying is causing me to feel overwhelmed and suicidal

I'm sick of all these racist jives
I am fed up with the discriminatory comments and attitudes towards me because of my race

Cause I know we're all the same inside
I believe that underneath our different exteriors, we are all human beings with the same basic needs and desires

White or black or mix and match
Regardless of our race, we should all be treated with respect and dignity

Whatever shade there is no catch
There is no inherent value or significance to the color of our skin

I find it sad and quite confusing
I am disappointed and perplexed by the cruelty and intolerance of others

How people find this stuff amusing
I do not understand how others can take pleasure in bullying or discriminating against others

For the victim it causes pain
Bullying and discrimination are emotionally and psychologically damaging for those on the receiving end

Bullied beat up rough and bruised
I am physically and emotionally injured from the abuse and mistreatment

But doing all I can but lose
I am trying my best to cope and fight back, but it feels like a losing battle

Because i'm tall, small, skinny or fat
I am being ridiculed for my physical appearance, regardless of what it is

Cause i'm more tanned than them
I am being discriminated against because of the color of my skin

Whats up with that
I do not understand why this difference matters or is grounds for mistreatment

You guys weren't listen you are dumb
You are not paying attention to me and are being ignorant and closed-minded

Why are guys trying to make me feel numb
You are attempting to make me feel emotionless and detached from the situation

You guys weren't worth it so i'm leaving with my tribe
I am separating myself from those who do not value me and joining with those who do

You guys aren't worth it i'm not going to hide
I refuse to hide or cower in fear from bullies or those who mistreat me

Listening you didn't really care
You are not truly listening to me and are not empathizing with my situation

Imma prove you
I am going to demonstrate my worth and abilities to you

Show you, show you, show you
I am going to make it clear how valuable and important I am

Cause now I know that
I have gained confidence and self-assurance

I am good enough
I know that I possess value and deserve respect

I won't play, won't play, won't play your mind games now
I refuse to be manipulated or controlled by your mental tricks or power moves
