[Chorus x2:]
|
Said I'm gone close my eyes
|
Said I'm gon' live my life
|
Despite what you think
|
I'm gone be free I'm a be me
|
|
Yeah!
|
|
See I ain't never think I would have a situation where the people around me just envy I must replace them
|
See I always thought the people that watch me grow
|
Would want to see me blow fa'sho but little did I know
|
They ain't never really wanna see me smiling.
|
They couldn't take the fact that I was really shining
|
And in my heart I knew they was wishing I was stop
|
Cause they don't me to rise and be on top.
|
And all that jealousy and hate
|
Can be right in front of your face
|
And it's gone hurt for you to see
|
But it ain't your fault just let it be
|
|
So I'm gone close my eyes
|
And I'm gone live my life
|
Despite what you think Im'a be free cause Im'a be me. [x2]
|
|
See everybody wanna have something to talk about
|
So they pointing their fingers and always running their mouths.
|
No matter how you try to satisfy someone else giving so much of yourself yo love but it's never enough.
|
The more you give them the more want they ain't happy
|
And they don't see all you do to make 'em happy
|
They don't appreciate it till you walk away
|
But you don't want to hear by now it's too late.
|
And all that jealousy and hate
|
Can be right in front of your face
|
And it's gone hurt for you to see
|
But it ain't your fault just let it be.
|
|
So I'm gone close my eyes
|
And I'm gone live my life
|
Despite what you think Im'a be free cause Im'a be me. [x2]
|
|
What they don't understand is that Im'a keep livin my life and surviving
|
Im'a keep pushing and striving and climbing and grinding
|
Cause ain't no time to be crying I been providing with the strength to carry my way
|
And Im'a be ok cause I'm gone live my life my way
|
And u can say what u wanna say it wont affect the way I'm living I'm winning by being free again
|
|
So I'm gone close my eyes
|
And I'm gone live my life
|
Despite what you think Im'a be free cause Im'a be me. [x2]
