Never Follow Trends, Be You Always

Be a leader, never be a fool

Don’t twist yourself to fit their rule

They’ll smile and cheer, then watch you slip

So hold your nerve, don’t lose your grip

Speak your truth, don’t mask your voice

Don’t shrink down to make their choice

Don’t beg for seats or play their game

Your name is yours, protect that name

They move in packs and trade in lies

You walk alone, but you rise

Not with noise, not chasing fame

Just quiet strength, and steady aim

Don’t waste your fire on winning crowds

They’ll love you loud, then turn like clouds

Let them fade, you stay the same

You’re not for show, you’re not for shame

Keep your hands clean, your vision wide

Stand for something deep inside

Even when the night runs cold

You’re worth more than what you’re told.

They’ll mock your pace, they’ll test your grace

They’ll try to drag you from your place

fools rush in with borrowed pride,

You’ve got steel that stays inside.

So face the day with steady heart

Lead your path and play your part

Be the calm, the spine, the core

Don’t be less, and don’t want more

Be a leader, never a pawn

When they sleep, you’ll still go on

With head held high and nothing to prove

You’re born to stand, not just to move,
