Life is like an iceberg
You see, from the beginning, I’ve been figuring
out me
Who I am, what I do, why I’m here, how to
get through
Each day I live, I look, I search, I long
for who to be
We’re always asked who are you?
The question that has no true answer
Am I an actor?
A singer?
A dancer?
I’ve got some brown freckles, brown hair
and brown eyes
A smile that I hope helps brighten up lives
But why compromise, why disguise, why minimize,
why finalize
Yourself for one question, one query, one
indirect expression
Who knows who I am?
Cause I sure as hell don’t
I’m evolving each day from what I had known
Life is like an iceberg
Each day things happen no one knows are happenin’
From unequal rights to sexual harassment
I know these are topics that seem quite intense
But these are things people deal with, with
no self-defense
If you’re uncomfortable then ask yourself
why
Is it cause technology has caused your brain
to fry?
Or is it cause you weren’t aware that this
stuff is happening’?
Well wake up, cause shootings and segregation
aren’t napping
No, they’re awake cause our laws still ain’t
in control
You say I’m too young to assume your role
Then get off your butt like the jerk that
you are
And make good decisions, stead of watch from
afar
Kids are being killed in your streets and
you won’t do a thing
Well our generation ain’t leavin and, if
need be we’ll sting
Life is like an iceberg
I used to be bullied till I found a new home
A new place, a new life I’m proud to call
my own
With parents who love me, 2 dogs, a sister
who cares
I know I’ve always got people right there
I don’t mean to flex but life’s kinda
great
Since I’ve escaped the bullies and people
filled with hate
I used to be judged based on what I could
do
But now I feel loved, that’s amazing and
true
But I know not every kid feels that way
There’s still so much bullying and hurt
that shouldn’t stay
Loneliness is a feeling one never forgets
Jerks calling me gay when I’m not, using
it as a threat
Life is like an iceberg
The parts of me I don’t know
The who am I’s, the what is my purpose
The why am I here’s, are all beneath the
surface
You know there’s 90% of me you can’t see
There’s 90% of the world people don’t
understand
90% of things people choose to avoid
If you were given a story but you only knew
10%,
Then what’s the point in knowing that small
little cent
That’s how life’s going, but it shouldn’t
be
90% of everything is hidden
Just like how 90% of an iceberg is hidden
Underwater, in the cold, in the dark
There’s so much we don’t know that we
should know about
There’s so many wrongs that should be made
right
There’s so many laws that we still gotta
fight
There’s so many things that’ll help me
grow and thrive
As a person in this world who just wants to
survive
So who am I?
I don’t know
I know I’m an artist and that’s true at
least
There’s so many expectations and standards
these days
Why can’t we just be happy and live life,
okay?
Life is like an iceberg, but it don't need
to be
Without judgment or worry, I just wanna be
me
