don't care what they say

each time i wake up

the world pushes back down

like living life different isn't allowed

like we should go to class

go to work

keep on pace so we can get a piece of paper

maybe graduate

so we can get a good job with a high pay rate

for one decade to office space

nah

man

damn

i'm straight

rather do what i love 'til i'm at the gates

rather write these lyrics

rather make these beats

rather rock these shows

make 'em stomp their feet

rather do big things

be on tv screens

radio and billboards and facebook feeds

rather dream real big than live real small

and feel like a giant

fam

major league tall

the tom cruise act like it's impossible for me

impossible sounds like a possibility

i don't care what they say

i'ma be me anyway

i don't care what they say

i'm

i'ma go my own way

i don't care what they say

i'ma be me anyway

i don't care what they say

i'm

i'ma go my own way

it's like

ever since i was six

listen to the radio

said i could do this

be this

kick i'll shit

design sick rhymes

make 'em go mindless

but it wasn't 'til college i would find my niche

now i ask myself

where am i going with this?

it's like the last-seconds tick and this is it

do i go for the gold

or settle with a cake

man

i'm not changing the direction that i'm stepping in

i'll just continue hard-knocking 'til they let me in

puttin' in hard work and every second in

i ain't stoppin' 'til my name's in the record bins

i want the world to know what the speck is

without pulling out an atlas

i want to live that dream that's in my sleep

so they can't stop me from being me

now we say

i don't care what they say

i'ma be me anyway

i don't care what they say

i'm

i'ma go my own way

i don't care what they say

i'ma be me anyway

i don't care what they say

i'm

i'ma

i'm

i'ma

i'ma do my own thing

when reality calls

let my phone ring

this moment's mine

and my future is my design

and i decline to be the guy that society guides me to be

boxing me in

but i'm trying to breathe

9 to 5? it ain't me

'til i get a shot

i'ma be aiming

so i can hit the target

then i'll be a star

whippin' sick cars quick instead of gettin' carsick in the back

i'ma drive and i'll never park it

gettin' far quick on my own terms

see nobody touchin' me so i stay germ-free

rap from the heart

this is my tale

life behind bars and i don't want bail

you don't give an f? then i can't fail

doubt me

talk shit about me

call me

five years from now talk about how you found me

it's a joke

all the whining around me

put some music on just to sleep silently

you crying all the time

nothing but a hound dog

then i take the floor

something like a groundhog

you stop

the crowd never lies

whole damn place got my set memorized like

i don't care what they say

i'ma be me anyway

i don't care what they say

i'm

i'ma go my own way

i don't care what they say

i'ma be me anyway

i don't care what they say

i'm

i'ma

i'm

i'ma

i don't care what they say

i'ma be me anyway

i don't care what they say

i'm

i'ma go my own way

i don't care what they say

i'ma be me anyway

i don't care what they say

i'm

i'ma go my own way
