Don't Tell Me How to Live My Life
Need to take a breath, feel so crazy inside
I'm so sick of my thoughts, always wondering why
Why I never got a chance, full of doubts in my mind
Used to always feel so rushed, now I'm taking my time
Think it's time to slow it down, feel so empty and tired
Feels like I'm not enough, I just wanna get by
I don't always wanna question all the thoughts in my mind
I just wanna trust the process and get on with my life
I can't let 'em bring me down, I'm not living a lie
Always honest with myself, had to swallow my pride
I been working really hard, I'm not wasting no time
Never gave up on my dreams, got 'em wondering why
Don't tell me how to live my life
'Cause I've been doing alright
I learned from your mistakes all my life
Don't you tell me how to live my life
Can't you see I'm doing alright?
The crown weighs heavy, got a lot on my mind
All this pressure and this trauma got me stressing at night
Some days I feel so tense, I just wanna unwind
I'm so sick of feeling down and I don't wanna get high
I had done so many drugs, nearly fucked up my life
Wanna turn it all around, take control of my mind
Try to make my family proud, make up for all the times
Always busy, always working, wish we could spend more time
I can't always pay your debts if you don't pay on time
All your problems bring me down, it's a waste of my time
Always out running around, I can't talk all the time
I've been busy making moves 'cause I gotta provide
Don't tell me how to live my life
'Cause I've been doing alright
I learned from your mistakes all my life
Don't you tell me how to live my life
Can't you see I'm doing alright?
