A lasting house is built on a solid foundation
Before you hit the ground running
Listen, learn, look and be patient
Be authentic, just be you
Live for yourself
Unbothered by what others do
(You gotta focus on the inside)
(Before you look out)
A simple life ain't boring if you're happy
Be original, be content
Start living your best life
Snap this, snapchat get this for the gram
Just been Hawaii now I'm in Birmingham
Get this angle but not this side
Likes are important so the dms slide
(You gotta focus on the inside before you look out)
You see the problem with this is it's a social media high
Do you wanna do these things or do you just want to be liked
Before you win the awards
You gotta practice your speech
Before you go to teach
Practice what you preach
Before you give advice
Review your own life
Do things for yourself babes
Before you're in the public light
Forget the cameras for a second
Forget who you think you know
Do you know yourself enough
Have you taken care of your inner self
Or are you constantly putting up a show
Forget what you have
Or what the media says your net worth is
Have you asked your Creator what it truly is
Or are you swept away by glitz and showbiz
Gotta focus on the inside
(Before you look out)
(You gotta focus on the inside out before you look out)
Before you look out
You gotta focus on the inside out before you look out
Nuture the Spirit
Water the soul
Give sunlight to the mind
Protect your peace
And let yourself grow
Let yourself grow
