The Essence Of My Presence

The Essence Of My Presence

I feel joy when I destroy a stereotype that isn’t right

You think you know me? I’ll show thee, I’ll make you see the light

You may think I want to be a man on the corner

Selling drugs, getting no love; nah I don’t think I’m gonna

See the essence of my presence comes totally unexpected

For what you perceive me to be, in my mirror it is not reflected

If you study history then it’s not a mystery as to why I’m so driven

Constructive, productive is indicative of how I’m livin

So if you are amongst those who just don’t want to know

Stay confused for only you lose, I’ll continue to grow

See I’m positive I got a lot to give and I know you have doubts

So take the time to read between the lines to find out what I’m about

Since I was born I was warned that nothing in life comes free

So while you contemplate, I’ll concentrate on how to please me

Now if you try to deny you fill your head with lies

And while you think I’m going left I choose to go right

I’m a leader not a follower and all followers I’ll lead

The essence of my presence is my ability to succeed.
