Verse 1

Sit down, focus, I got somethin’ to say
This truth you’re dodgin’ can’t wait another day
We’re not perfect, yeah, easy to claim
But truth be told, that’s just passin’ the blame
Look in the mirror, be bold for a change
Stop drawin’ lines through such a narrow frame

Chorus

First you gotta be what you wanna see
Stop driftin’ in some ideal fantasy
Somethin' gotta give needs to start with you
Don’t expect the world to shift if you won’t shift too
Yeah, be what you wanna see
Come on, step into reality

Verse 2

Push past the edge of your world today
Take stock of your ways, don’t look away
Quick to call out what others lack
But scared of the truth starin’ right back
Still holdin’ dreams that ain’t in touch
You’ve been draggin' that lie way too much

Chorus

First you gotta be what you wanna see
Stop driftin’ in some ideal fantasy
Somethin' gotta give needs to start with you
Don’t expect the world to shift if you won’t shift too
Yeah, be what you wanna see
Come on, step into reality

Verse 3

Don’t tune it out like it don’t apply
This hits us all, yeah, you and I
If the truth burns, maybe it should
Growth ain’t simple, but it’s always good
Cut the blame games and the deflection
Time to stand up, start that self-reflection

Chorus

First you gotta be what you wanna see
Stop driftin’ in some ideal fantasy
Somethin' gotta give needs to start with you
Don’t expect the world to shift if you won’t shift too
Yeah, be what you wanna see
Come on, step into reality

Bridge

Truth stays the truth, no matter your sleuth
Can’t dodge the weight of what’s real and true
Before that log blocks out your sight
Drop the pride, lift your eyes to the light
Quit reactin’ to every trigger
Start diggin’ deep for somethin’ bigger

Chorus

First you gotta be what you wanna see
Stop driftin’ in some ideal fantasy
Somethin' gotta give needs to start with you
Don’t expect the world to shift if you won’t shift too
Yeah, be what you wanna see
Come on, step into reality

Outro

Yeah… just remember, when you’re pointin’ at someone else
There’s three fingers pointin’ right back at yourself
Be what you wanna see
