nothing to prove

Well, I learned at an early age,
That hate can debilitate your power to see straight,
Now that I am twenty-three, yeah,
All of my memories, they don't weigh on me ,
So don't get too close to the water if you do not wanna get wet,
Oh, 'cause the consequence of hate is just misery and regret,
I said, get your act together,
It's really all up to you,
Life is always better,
When you've got nothing to prove, yeah,
Well, I've,
I've been through the hurricane,
The wind and the blinding rain and somehow
I maintain,
So don't get too close to the fire if you do not wanna get burned,
Oh, 'cause the consequence of hate is just misery and concern,
Oh, so get your act together,
It's really all up to you,
Life is always better,
If you've got nothing to prove, yeah,
Don't get too close to the fire if you do not wanna get burned,
I said, do not get close to the fire if you do not wanna get burned,
No, do not get close to the water if you do not wanna get wet,
Oh, 'cause the consequence of hate is just misery and regret,
I said, get your act together,
It's really all up to you, yeah ,
Life is always better,
If you've got nothing to prove,
Get your act together,
It's really all up to you,
Life is always better, yeah,
If you've got nothing to prove, yeah, ooh.
