M.I. Abaga - Last Night I Had A Dream About A Hummingbird Lyrics

The one thing that I wanted to talk about was the concept of
Believing in yourself especially in the age of the internet
You're constantly comparing yourself to other people
Your constantly comparing yourself to other like people in your field of study
That may be better than you are at what you're doing
They may be better artist better musicians
When you are constantly trying to meet the expectations of someone else
You're letting yourself down
I don't have anything to prove to anyone
I don't need to compare myself to anyone
Except myself I don't owe anybody anything anything anything anything

Let me tell you something weird
Lat night I had a dream about an hummingbird
Sitting pretty full of pity singing all the sweetest songs that you ever heard
I said hummingbird
You've got potential essential to venture
Adventures and conquer the world if you care
Whatchu still doing over here
Hummingbird the door to your cages has been broken for ages and open
Just take it you're moping and hoping on hope
That you make it just float to that opening and go
Hummingbird ignore all these mockingbirds talking and gossiping
About you all day haven't done anything with their own lives anyway

Once you become a hero somebody will always want to shoot you down
It goes with the territory
The more you put on the pedestal you will be shut down
There'll come a point where you're
Gonna to need to become a fallen hero
It's an inevitability
And there's that whole sorta thing about
Do I step off the pedestal myself or do I wait to be shot down
And at when do I step down
You know words like stepping down are very profound
That is stepping down
Making way for the next and relinquish control and you know
Do I stop while I'm up
Do I know when to go
