Faze This Jealousy



You never seem to faze me

When you do the things you do

You rarely seem to surprise me

When you don't even need a clue



People are always amazed

By the great heights of your feats

And to think so much talent

Came from the filthy streets



But you were never made for that

You weren't birthed straight from the hood

Just like I was meant for second best

I can't do the things you could



But was I ever jealous?

If so, you could never tell

I'm not looking for attention

I'm accustomed to my cell



I'm content to stay in shadows

Hide behind another's deeds

All the while feigning devotion

Pretending that I don't need



I don't need to move along

Because I'm happy where I'm at

Deep down inside it may be a lie

Deep down I don't think that



But all I want to see in you

Is joy, happiness, and glee

Don't worry about the places I'm going

It's just not meant to be
