Taishun - Never Settle Lyrics

I'm bringing music for your ears yeah you hear it but do you listen
I write for many reasons not to attract things that glisten
But to encourage so we don't settle for what life is giving
Bringing attention where needed to situations we're living
Bringing attention to a star not everyone wants to shine
But I don't care how they feel I promise that I'll be fine
See while they wish for my decline I'm busy getting what's mine
So if you're sick and dizzy on this ride this might be a sign
This just isn't where you will shine so leave it to me to show ya
I'm taking all the fates aligned and that's not something I'll throw ya
Ill wishes toward me only help reap what your actions will sow ya
So it's best you detest me less so failures not all life owe ya
Question though I don't know ya so tell me why all the loathing
I doubt it's what it is I drive where I'm living or my clothing
But it's elating that you're hating so f*ck what you'll be stating
Why settle giving failure attention when success is still waiting

The time for me to settle ended that's been done too much already
On things I thought were mine to own and those who turned out to be petty
Many people left me uneasy but now I'm back being steady
Recovered with focus so those I cross now knows me as heady
That's exhilarating, exciting, potent how about you just choose
It doesn't matter what's thought from here or whatever ensues
From me showing those in the world I'm not one they should lose
I settle for none so I'm never who everyone always screws

I've settled too much in the past thinking some women could fit
On a throne not meant for them to own and too good for them to sit
That became apparent to me too late and only after we split
Thinking the next one up is it this is the one that won't quit
Those I've called friends have pit my care for them against disregard
I was there when others didn't care sharing the pain that they've sparred
Wearing the hat needed I've starred as many things to bring hope
Given my last just for their best more towards their issues to cope
But giving my all to others first while putting myself out of sight
Has led to pain that hits the worst I'd never learn from my plight
Because I'd thirst to be the one that's versed in making things right
I'm someone who makes a future bright and yet I'm still cursed to fight
Through heartache that breaks because I wear my heart on my sleeve
Left to those faking love for me until the time that they leave
But the jokes on them see in the end it's never my loss to grieve
But that'll be on display one day through everything I'll achieve

The time for me to settle ended that's been done too much already
On things I thought were mine to own and those who turned out to be petty
Many people left me uneasy but now I'm back being steady
Recovered with focus so those I cross now knows me as heady
That's exhilarating, exciting, potent how about you just choose
It doesn't matter what's thought from here or whatever ensues
From me showing those in the world I'm not one they should lose
I settle for none so I'm never who everyone always screws
