Same people just never listen But wore my hoodies when it benefited Feelin' lost everywhere I go; familiar faces I don't even know Livin' life tryna find a home They want a hit? Okay, here you go They throwin' rocks that I treasured it So many diamonds I made that was out of it Every teacher always told me I'm out of it Saw that apple, I ate it—was adamant Never prayed, I thought, "Why would You answer it?" Sin will always feel good when you glance at it 'Til you look at your life and it's cancerous I didn't care, so I got worse Started to curse, thought it would work Wasn't myself, but defining my worth Hated myself for pretending at church Hated my life, and you know what I learned? I cared about the things that never cared about me Why would they care if I'm hurt? I don't care what they gotta tell me I don't care what you gotta say All I need is my Heavenly Father Maybe one day I can be okay Maybe one day I'ma be okay Livin' my life, only thing I can tell you is I'ma do it my way My way, my way-ay-ay I'ma do it my way I'ma do it my way, my way My way, ay, yeah (I'ma do this today) I'ma do it my way My way, my way, ay, yeah (I'ma do it my way) I'ma do it my way And you might never like that, no (I'ma do it my way) I'ma do it my way Don't tell me how to live life Who's to say how to live right? So I'ma do it my way, I'ma do it my way
