My Way
They Said
I could never do it
I would never stand up
I'd never survive it
But I don't care what they say
Imma do it my own way
And if these people can't handle
The way I do me
I won't have to answer
I'd finally be free
They say
I should do how they say
But imma do this my way
Imma do this my way
Even though I got a label
I'm tired of just being me
With people that are hateful
Towards everything I'm doing
I'm just trying to be grateful
Is it cause they are jealous?
Or because they are unable?
To do the things that I can do
But I'm just getting stable
I'm tired of the way y'all play me
Done being so playful
I told you I was spitting bars
Come on this is fatal
I took a seat and listened now
Hard mode is enabled
Compare it to how I used to sound
I used to sound disabled
I know the ones who grew with me
The rest of y'all? Betrayal
I'm tryna be a legend
Build the pillars be a staple
I can't do this I ain't black?
Why you gotta make this racial?
I have some stories that are wack
Some stories just be painful
But until you walk my path
You cant be seated at my table
Shoulda done the fuckin math
All my talents were prenatal
Now you bout to feel my wrath
And watch D N A on cable
They Said
I could never do it
I would never stand up
I'd never survive it
But I don't care what they say
Imma do it my own way
And if these people can't handle
The way I do me
I won't have to answer
I'd finally be free
They say
I should do how they say
But imma do this my way
Can't you tell they sleeping on me?
In fact they all be snoring
D N A is getting up
Who are you all ignorin??
Yea I get in contact but
I ain't really scoring
To be honest
Blue checks in my DM's
Is getting kinda boring
I know you all don't really care
And find this "trash" "annoying"
Unlike the girl you met last night
I'll be here in the morning
And check me out in just a year
You'll only see me growing
My heart is on the line
Man, I'm done with all that pouring
I can finally say that I'm okay
my real self was restoring
I wanna be a different me
Gonna do some new exploring
I can't wait to show you all the styles
That I've been absorbing
I've changed up all my gears
This "fame mountain" is enormous
Better melodies for the ears
Better music for performing
Got my pain out through the years
Cause my thoughts were steady swarming
I dried up all those tears
And then my brain was storming
I tossed out all those fears
Without any sort of warning
They Said
I could never do it
I would never stand up
I'd never survive it
But I don't care what they say
Imma do it my own way
And if these people can't handle
The way I do me
I won't have to answer
I'd finally be free
They say
I should do how they say
But imma do this my way
So this is what it's like
When you told you have some talent
But every thoughts a struggle
And every days a challenge
When I've worked extremely hard
To try to find somewhat of balance
Yea I'm signed to Capitol
I never planned for this to happen
I planned to tell my story
In a way that's not so tragic
Maybe show that I could do this
If I show I got some passion
Maybe being down a thousand times
Is what creates this magic
Or doing this for seven years
And now get good reactions?
Cause not even 2 years ago
All of y'all were laughing
Is it cause I changed myself
into a lyrical assassin?
Or is it cause most only dissed
The reason I stopped asking
People just to listen
There's a few that I still haven't
Stopped to let them know
That I'm moving on the masses
They seem to be here for me now
That I'm heading to the attic
But where the fuck were you?
When my life was steady crashing
You can't see me where I'm going
You should get a pair of glasses
They Said
I could never do it
I would never stand up
I'd never survive it
But I don't care what they say
Imma do it my own way
And if these people can't handle
The way I do me
I won't have to answer
I'd finally be free
They say
I should do how they say
But imma do this my way
