Social Acceptance (Album Version) Lyrics

Well, I mean, it's hard to be myself these days

Look around, everybody's perfect

Nowadays, nobody really wants to do their own thing

We just want to be like everybody else, cos they're successful like that

I mean, what do you think

Hey, you tell me, explain it to me

I mean, you feel otherwise, right

Suffering and smiling

Two words that define it

On the inside, I'm crying

While outside I'm shining

Done having my mask on

I keep running this marathon

I'm tired of seeing us look like pawns

Who keep dying for the wrong icons

I'm tryna be perfect

I'm tryna be the one that they love

Shouldn't I be perfect

Shouldn't I be the one they love

Can't you see they're perfect

Can't you see that they're the ones they love

Now I wanna be perfect

I wanna be the one that they love

Social acceptance

Social acceptance

Living all these lies just for social acceptance

Social acceptance

Social acceptance

Gotta do what's trending for social acceptance

Social acceptance

Social acceptance

oooooohhhhh ooooouuuuu ooooohhhhhhhh

oooooohhhhh ooooouuuuu ooooohhhhhhhh

Social acceptance

Social acceptance

Soooooooooooooooooooooo oohhhhhhh

Raise your hands if you've had to stay quiet or say yes to anyone with a handle

Don't be ashamed, I've been there so I cannot even try to judge you

But I think it's about time I tie my laces and pick up the mantle

Cos the leaders we put our trust in are so afraid of being canceled

When you let your light shine you'll notice everyone try to blow out your candle

Make sure to switch solar and you'll see there's nothing that you can't do

I'm talking about the light of the world, don't want these words mishandled

I know a lady who wishes every day her back was like that of a camel

I think it's quite sad how people question the beauty of God's temple

(Yeah) They wanna be so perfect, they could paint leaves better than trees

I see my people chasing mirages like a mouse in need of cheese

I mean how can I be at ease

When the people in pain and clearly in need of therapy are holding the keys

To the doors built by the under-celebrated people with degrees

Say one thing and their hate becomes as inevitable as dislikes on youtube vids

So it's hard to find a Martin Luther King

Who can tell others about his dream

To bring God's people in love and unity

So my apologies to Jalen and Jacoby

Cos we can't give the people what they want in this reality

Seeing people deal with problems that have no medicine

And a lot of wannabes don't know what they wanna be

Hahaha

So apologies to CTG, I love sending healing energy

But it's about time I introduce the people to Elohim

(Yeah) I've tried to be perfect

I've tried to be the one that they love

Shouldn't I be perfect

Shouldn't I be the one they love

Can't you see they're perfect

Can't you see that they're the ones they love

So I wanted to be perfect

I'm done being the one that they love

oooooohhhhh ooooouuuuu ooooohhhhhhhh

oooooohhhhh ooooouuuuu ooooohhhhhhhh

You know the whole idea of this song was for you to know that you're beautiful the way you are

You're perfect the way you are

Chase your goals

Do what you need to do

No one else should dictate how you should move in life

No one else should create a template for your life

That's not what it's supposed to be

And that's what this song is saying

I know you're tryna be perfect

I know you're tryna be the one that they love

But you're more than that

After all, we don't live for them

We just live for God

Hold on to that
