Paradigm
TrueShot Lyrics

This chip on my shoulder
I am carrying a burden or a grudge

Skewed as arrogance
It appears as if I have an inflated sense of self, but it is not entirely true

Discounting my inner benevolence
People overlook my kind and generous nature

Despite only living to survive
Even though I am doing whatever I can to survive

Obvious negligence in measuring drive
It is clear that my motivation and determination are not being recognized

Projecting incompetence onto me
Others are unfairly assuming that I am not capable of succeeding

Time to shut the eye of the beholder
It is time for people to stop judging me and see me for who I really am

Don't accuse me of being egoistic
Please do not falsely accuse me of being self-centered

I won't become another statistic
I refuse to be another negative example of failed potential

Seen as a threat
Others view me as a potential danger

Through a vignette
It is based on a limited and not entirely accurate perspective

I'm not finished yet
I still have much more to accomplish and offer

You're all the same
People tend to be predictable and uniform in their behaviors and attitudes

Just a change of shade
Individual differences are superficial and not substantive

You will never change
People are reluctant to modify their preconceived beliefs and actions

Just because you resent yourself
You should not assume that I am responsible for your personal frustrations and dissatisfactions

And you see an empty reflection
Your conflicts and insecurities are self-inflicted and not caused by external factors

Don't make me the catalyst for your insecurity
Do not blame me for triggering your negative emotions or reactions

You're your own worst enemy
You are responsible for your own negative outcomes and limitations

You've got my attention
You have successfully caught my interest

All I see is red
I perceive you as being angry and aggressive

Formed by mediocrity
Your current state is the result of average or unremarkable circumstances

Running your mouth fucking constantly
You are speaking without much thought or justification

Diminish your trajection
You are reducing your own potential and possibilities

I am your objection
I am the one standing in the way of your intended outcome

The bitter concept
The harsh reality that you must face

The concept of your paradigm
The way that you view the world and your place in it

Go
An imperative to take action and move forward

You embody obscurity
You are difficult or impossible to understand

Weak-minded, filled with jealousy
Your lack of confidence and envy have clouded your judgment

I'm your mental state
I symbolize your current mindset and psychological state

Now you're locked in here with me
You are stuck in this mental state and cannot escape its consequences
