"I'm not born again but if I was, I'd ask to come back with a little more love...I've been sittin here just wastin time, drinking smokin trying to free my mind."
What does it mean to be true to myself? I guess it just means to do your best, and when you let yourself down you don't give up on yourself, you try harder.
I don't think I'm more important than anyone else but I don't think I'm any less important either. I've got just as much right to be here and be me than any other damn person and I'm stakin a claim on my lil'slice a'life.
I like to take things in easy and give it back hard. I like to listen to life and beat it out on the drums. It takes a special ear to translate messages into rhythm. I'm good at it. I'm not the best yet but I plan to be. I'll sure work at it anyway. And anyone who thinks its wrong just doesn't understand my philosophy. But I guess that's just how it always is with me. No one gets it.
No one that is but a small group of Tuchuk about my age. We hang out together and talk about what it means to be Tuchuk. Not what the Elders say. Not what the Ubar says. Not what our moms or dads or commanders say. We talk about what we say. How we think and we throw it all in this pot of words and ideas and stir it around and we look at it and make our own decisions. Pick through the samplings and say, "hey that's a good idea". Or, "you're crazy that's the stupidest idea I've ever heard!" And we can all still stay friends. Some of my friends don't get me. But that's ok too because they're still comfortable with me and they don't try to change me to be like them. Isn't that what it's all about?
No matter what they say no matter what they do no matter how they try to stop me.
I'll still be true to myself because in the end you can't be anybody else.
