My Saving Grace
Madd Maxxx Lyrics

How much of a path must a man walk down
How much does someone have to go through to be considered a man.

Before they can call him a man?
What does it take to earn the label of a man.

Is it years is it distances maybe experiences?
Is it time, distance, or life experiences that make someone a man.

I really don't know but I'll tell you what I can.
I am not certain of the answer, but I can only tell you what I have learned so far.

I'm still pretty young just barely 19
I may be young, just 19.

Yet I've been so many places the things I've seen
Despite my age, I have traveled a lot and witnessed many things.

Make me feel like a lifetime is longer than it seems
My experiences make me feel like a lifetime is much more than just time.

Life is only short if you want it to be
Life is only short if you do not make the most out of it.

If I died right now, I'd have zero regrets
If I died right now, I would have no regrets since I know I have done my best.

Because I took what I was given and I tried my best
I made the most out of what I had and did my best with it.

People forget what's important and it turns into depression
People forget what truly matters in life, and it often leads to depression.

Tailspin towards the ground cause of simple misdirection
People often spiral out of control due to a lack of focus or direction.

Here's a lesson you should learn: no one really knows
A lesson you should learn is that no one truly knows what they want from life.

What they want from life, whatever path you chose
No one knows what path in life they truly want to take.

It was yours to decide so enjoy the ride
Your life decisions are yours to make, so enjoy the journey.

And if you mess somethin up, just give it another try
If you make a mistake, do not be afraid to try again.

Never let somebody tell you that you were wrong
Do not allow others to dictate or criticize your life decisions.

They only mad cause they still don't really know what's goin on
People who criticize your decisions are often doing so because they are lost themselves.

Just do what you do, fuck being accepted
Be yourself, and do not worry about societal acceptance.

This is your life to live never let nothing affect it
This is your life to live, so do not let anything stop you from living it.

This is my saving grace this is my final word
This song is my saving grace and my final statement.

Though it may seem absurd this is what I've learned
Although my teachings may seem unconventional, this is what I believe in.

Where do I go from here I don't really know
I am uncertain where my life will take me from this point on.

But I'll never stop moving and that's fasho
Despite the uncertainty, I will keep moving forward with determination.

I don't have all of the answers I won't pretend
I do not have all the answers, nor will I pretend to.

But if you feel the way I feel I would strongly recommend
If you share the same feelings as I do, I encourage you to listen to my message.

That you stop worryin about the trivial stuff
Stop worrying about insignificant things.

Being yourself is more than enough
Be yourself, and you will be content with yourself.

Even though I gotta say I've had a real nice life
Although I have faced challenges, I have had a generally satisfying life.

There's been a lot of times shit just really ain't go right
Despite a mostly positive life, there have been difficult times too.

I was an outcast up until I graduated highschool
I was an outsider in school until I graduated high school.

I guess I still am but that's totally cool
Although I still feel like an outsider, I am okay with it.

See I used to let the kids get to me with they words
I used to let other kids' words get to me.

It really hurt when they would call me a weirdo or nerd
It hurt when others would label me as different or strange.

So many nights with a knife to my jugular vein
I have had moments of deep despair and suicidal thoughts.

I really thought that I was going insane but things changed
I thought I was losing my mind, but things eventually started looking up.

Took a lot of years now I finally made it
It took me several years, but I have finally found success.

Now I could give a fuck less if I'm greatly hated
I no longer care if people do not like me.

I ain't doin anything for anybody but me
I am living my life for myself, not for others.

This is my life you could suck a dick if you disagree
This is my life, and I do not care if you disagree with me.

When I say that what do I mean? Fuck normalcy!
When I say 'This is my life,' what I mean is I reject normality.

If you like then do it, fuck MTV!
Do what you like, not what the media tells you to do.

Trynna tell me what I need to do to be cool
The media tries to convince me what I need to do to be cool.

I can choose for myself man I ain't no fool
I can make my own decisions about what is best for me.

Who are you to be saying that I should change?
Who are you to tell me I need to change to fit in?

So what if I'm strange?
So what if I am different or strange?

Ain't nobody say you gotta live this way
Nobody is forcing me to live my life a certain way.

Just leave it to me and let me be what I can be
Leave me be and let me live my life as I see fit.

It'll be more than you expect and I'll bet you just wait
My life will exceed expectations, just wait and see.

If God really exists then I wonder if he can hear this
If God exists, I wonder if he can hear my message.

Just one more voice in the cacophonous mist
My voice is just one of the many in the crowded world.

If I died today would I be missed?
If I were to die today, would anyone miss me?

Or just another name added on the obituary list?
Would my name just be added to the obituary list?

Did I die too soon or was it just the right time?
Was my death untimely, or was it the right moment?

Did I see what I had to or was I blind?
Did I learn everything I needed to, or did I miss things?

Will I make it into heaven? Or should I even care?
Will I enter heaven? Do I even need to care?

Cause I'm never gonna know unless I end up there
I will never know unless I reach heaven.

Wherever I may go whatever I may do
No matter where life takes me, I will keep going.

Imma make the best of it and continue through
I will make the most out of life and keep going.

No person on the planet could corrupt my journey
No one can ever stop me from living my life.

Only death could ever possibly disrupt my learning
Only death could stop me from learning and growing.

There's a whole lot of things that I still don't know
There is so much in life that I have yet to learn.

There's only one way to find out, come on, let's go
The only way to learn is to keep trying.

Fuck waitin for a chance imma make my own
I am not waiting for opportunities - I am making my own.

And even though I gotta travel this path alone
Even though I must travel alone, I will keep moving forward.

Imma never stop walking even though I'm afraid
I will never stop moving even if I am scared of what is ahead.

And I remember every face that I meet on the way
I remember every person I encounter on my journey.

And when I finally die imma say life was great
When I die, I will reflect on my life and be content with it.

Cause I lived how I wanted I promise that's all it takes
I lived life on my own terms, and that is all that matters.
