Said I'm gon' live my life (this is my life)
Despite what you think

See I ain't never think that 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 would stop
Cause they don't want me to rise and be on top
And all that jealousy and hate
Can be right in front of your face
And it's gon' hurt for you to see
But it ain't your fault just let it be

So I'm gon' close my eyes
And I'm gon' live my life
Despite what you think I'ma be free
Cause I'ma be me, yeah
Said I'm gon' close my eyes
And I'm gon' live my life
Despite what you think I'ma be free
Cause I'ma be me, yeah

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 gon' close my eyes
And I'm gon' live my life
Despite what you think I'ma be free
Cause I'ma be me, yeah
Said I'm gon' close my eyes
And I'm gon' live my life
Despite what you think I'ma be free
Cause I'ma be me, yeah

What they don't understand is that I'ma keep livin' my life and surviving
I'ma 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 I'ma be ok, cause I'm gone live my life my way
And you can say what you wanna say
It wont affect the way I'm living I'm winning by being free again

So I'm gon' close my eyes
And I'm gon' live my life
Despite what you think I'ma be free
Cause I'ma be me, yeah
