I'll Stay Gold


I’ll Stay Gold
By: Tyler Ross

I won’t change these morals, these values I’ve set.
It’s easy to go against every word that is said.
But that isn’t me.
I live my life free
from drinking, drugs, and promiscuous sex.
Forever staying free,
from the substances that alter and abuse the present
and live my life for me, out of step
Not above it all, but from what’s accepted.

My PMA keeps me sound, honest, and understanding.
Staying gold is the mentality I uphold to keep from drowning.
In a negative world judging the way I lead.
But that’s okay because I’m only in this for me.
For me,
staying gold is the key
to a healthy existence.
Forever I will be resistant.

Call me what you want.
Judge me for the way that I live.
I am still straight edge.
And don’t need people
telling me how I should live.
Nothing they can do can change what this is.
I am a straight edge.
I’ll stay gold for as long as I live.

This Is Me

This Is Me
By: Tyler Ross

Resort back and ask myself
Did they really mean a thing?
Great questions support my experiences
But the challenges still proceed
Head cases, strange places, and odd feelings not for me
I struggled more being myself not changing anything

For this is me
Doing favors for myself
Moving on sets me free
This is me
You get what you give
No respect, c’est la vie
This is me
Never stressing over those
Who won’t give their time
This is me
Life’s what you make of it
So simple with an equal mind

Second chances and I doubted myself
Was this really fair to me?
Being honest and loyal to those
While backs turned 180 degrees
Wasted time, closed my mind, and gave my heart away
It’s safe to say, I came to play and learned from my mistakes

For this is me
Doing favors for myself
Moving on sets me free
This is me
You get what you give
No respect, c’est la vie
This is me
Never stressing over those
Who won’t give their time
This is me
Life’s what you make of it
So simple with an equal mind

No tolerance for talk
Let all actions speak
This is me
No respect, c’est la vie
