Many people doesn't know the meaning of success
Some sacrifices their dreams in order to fit on the standard of others
They don't know anything, so stop your foolishness
Stand smart and follow your dreams

People nowadays will judge you based on your appearance
Fat, thin, ugly, midget - hurtful words you'd hear
You can't do that, you don't belong here
Forget your dreams, you'll not going to earn there
Those discouraging phrases they have said
They will never appreciate your kindness nor talents
But once you became successful
Compliment are endless

Success? they don't know what it means
Earning a lot of money - NO
Titles on their names - NO
Now what - success is about what you really want - your passion

All my life they say this is what you have to do
For a better future, so you will not be like others
All my life they say this is how you look so you don't belong here
Just go away

We are not like puppets that being controlled by others
We are not water that just go with the flow
We are humans who have minds to use to think and decide
Just ignore those people who put you down

Success - with titles in their names
And if you don't have, you are just an ordinary
Success - you are earning a lot
If not, well who are you

Happiness?Happiness? You'll reach it if you first love yourself
You only live once so do what you want
You don't have to change the way you look
Don't be insecure with others

Stop crying at the corner, no one will help you except yourself
Even though someone motivated you, nothing will happen if you will just sit there
and be afraid of the world

Those lonely nights, those precious tears
Forget those and live with your own
You are the one who can help yourself
You are the one who will choose how will your life will going to be
You don't have to live based on the standard of others

Because you are you
And you are unique
Who are you? You are you
Who am I? I am I.
