[Lyric] Superficial (J-Love)

So here’s my mother
And she stands powerful as one
The giver of life, and sage advice
Keeps the pressure on till the day is won
She says:
Maybe if you keep your head down - You can be instrumental
Maybe not now but in ten years’ time - You will be influential
Because no matter what all those other kids do. You will always be an individual
Keep your mind on the deep, don’t care for superficial

Then there’s the others
And what a trembling power they hold
Just a look or word that is heard or observed
And your choices are there’s to control
So I guess:
Maybe if I grew my hair long, I can be more influential
Maybe if we “like” the same songs. I can more instrumental
There’s a glass on the counter, maybe I’ll take my shot. Cause finally, I’m individual
This is the deep; They’re all superficial

Then there’s my lover
Or at least that’s what I want them to be
Between each passing glance and party glass
How do I get the attention on me?
Well:
Maybe if I say those words on TV. I can be more influential
Or maybe if I do what I’ve seen on the screen. I can be more instrumental
There they stand before me. Between my body; Will they see the individual?
They’re so deep, while I’m so superficial
Solo Break
Maybe If I’d kept my head down, I’d have been more influential
But looking back now: I wouldn’t change a thing. Because experience is instrumental
And each mistake and choice I made, is what creates an individual
Caught in the deep. Of the superficial
