about

This song is for those who often feel like they have been taken for granted. Those who feel that they keep giving and the other party just keeps taking without true appreciation or the intention to give back. Those who have been hurt by the ones they love but know their worth and leave the situation. Those who are brave enough to rebuild themselves to be stronger, better, and happier than before.

This is also dedicated to our mother earth, the one that all of us take for granted. It urges all of us to be better people to each other and to the planet, before it's too late. This is the first time that I have experimented with the Hip/Hop genre, rapping fiercely about issues that affect all of us.

lyrics

Whenever you ask me, I would give you my all.
You take it, play it, abuse it, and come to me for more.
When you realize that you are sorry, I’m already gone.

What exactly did you mean when you said those words?
I guess I fell for it and got what I deserved.
I surrender to you in this battle of love.

Hope you will remember.
That some point in time.
Someone gave you all her heart, body and mind.
How naive of her, she didn’t draw the line.
Now she’s gonna have to fight for herself.

Hero, you should call me hero.
Freakin superhero.
Now I’m flying solo.
On another level.
Does that hurt your ego?
Do you feel sorrow?
Baby that’s for you to know.

Thank you, no really really, thank you.
For making me stronger.
And making me tougher.
Giving me the honor.
Free myself from horror.
Chasing after paper.
I’m not taking orders.

Hope you will remember.
That some point in time.
Someone gave you all her heart, body and mind.
How naive of her, she didn’t draw the line.
Now she’s gonna have to fight for herself.

Humans, selfish humans.
Burn your safe havens.
Just to serve your cravin’.
You keep on living.
When the world is dying.
You keep on taking.
Selfish generation.

Greedy, why are we so greedy?
Why can’t we be happy?
When we have so many?
Do we have a limit?
Are we ever finished?
Do we want this planet?
Or we rather lose it?

Hope you will remember,
That some point in time,
Mother earth gave you all her heart, body, and mind.
How naive of her,
She didn’t draw the line,
Now she’s gonna have to fight for herself.

Whenever you want, whatever you want.
Whenever you want, whatever you want.
Whenever you want, whatever you want.
Whenever you want, whatever you want.
