Expressing Yourself

Chorus: (AshleyG)

Changing the way, you express yourself

Leads to many things, thus, being put up on the shelf

You have to do what you want to do

Do not let anyone sway your decisions but you

Changing the way, you express yourself

Leads to many things, thus, being put up on the shelf

You have to do what you want to do

Do not let anyone sway your decisions but you

Verse 1: (Insanity)

Alright, let's just simply break the ice

I want to jump right in, not to be a poltergeist

It's time I let out a track that expresses my feelings

I want to get into more personal stuff now, and begin healing

Because it seems with rap it leads me to things like this

It can end up being many things, from darkness to bliss

But on another note, I don't plan to stop anytime soon

Yeah that's right writing from midnight to noon

Every single day and night, and every afternoon too

So, I wanna continue all my life yeah thats right

I wanna make splash in the game and learn tight

Learn how to make a rap song bump

Learn how to take rap and top it from the stump

As I march down the road, that I will for so long know

I look at it and and how bad is has been broke

Many things have come and gone

Those were both good and bad, some short and some long

And as they all coincide some overthrow another

That can either happen for the worse or some for the better

And I watch the artists fall and rise I wonder when, will be mine

To either, fall or rise, into rap and simply be shown to many eyes

There's many things that I have, planned to do

I don't know what's comin' next, except maybe part two

Yeah and after that I look further into the future

I see many mixtapes, albums and features

But that's all to come, and all by surprise

Nothing is stone set yet but I plan to have many lives

Changed by how my songs recollect

On their present time, I seem to forget

About all the things that I've said in the past

I never plan to stop, never plan to come in last

Chorus: (AshleyG)

Changing the way, you express yourself

Leads to many things, thus, being put up on the shelf

You have to do what you want to do

Do not let anyone sway your decisions but you

Changing the way, you express yourself

Leads to many things, thus, being put up on the shelf

You have to do what you want to do

Do not let anyone sway your decisions but you

Verse 2:

Lookin' back at some of the things that were written before

I really look down on them and throw em' on the floor

I'm saddened at how I used to release more mediocre

Work, when I was younger and I didn't try

They didn't seem to have expression inside them, I wondered why

Was it just because I wanted to get some out fast

Nah, I hope that wasn't that reason I used in my past

Some of the things I regret even writing at all

Releasing them just for that sake made my confidence fall

But now, since "Staring Over" I'm a new artist

Man I plan to bring my full into everything and try my hardest

I know I need to redeem myself quite a bit

But what I used to release was just plain bitch

In rap terms yeah man most of it was wack as fuck

I wanna bring my skill high and level my rhymes up

Make it better, achieve the higher skill, not just luck

When I write, I write with expression and passion

Yeah boy I will never quit that till I quit rappin'

I'm wrappin' up, all of my good work

Puttin' it out every time I see how it should lurk

Put my heart into every single line I write

Make sure every single rhyme is right

Plan to withstand through the future anyways

All of the things that are standing in my way

Will be moved, simple as that, whether it be, tomorrow or today

I don't care when as long as I make it

And when the day arrives I plan to stake shit

Into the dirt, and stand my ground, and make you lit

With the skill that had been released from my lips

So sit back and wait for the day to begin

And when they day ends, I'll still be rappin'

Chorus: (AshleyG)

Changing the way, you express yourself

Leads to many things, thus, being put up on the shelf

You have to do what you want to do

Do not let anyone sway your decisions but you

Changing the way, you express yourself

Leads to many things, thus, being put up on the shelf

You have to do what you want to do

Do not let anyone sway your decisions but you
