What you think about this?
I been holding it in, now I'm letting it flow
What you think about this?
I'm gonna do my own thing, yeah, I'm flying solo
So don't tell me how it's gonna be on my own
And the thing of it is
There's nothing 'round here that I'm gonna miss
'Cause you're holding me down, I just wanna fly
And there comes a time when I gotta say goodbye
To the life that you see me in
Here's where I begin
And I promise myself
I ain't nobody's, I just wanna be free
And I promise myself
Even though it don't always come easy
Gonna learn from my pain, never explain
Do it my way, that's what I say
Promise myself
I'm the only one who will believe me
There's a voice in my head
Telling me, "Come on, come on, move on"
There's a voice in my head
Telling me, "I know my right from wrong"
They, they say what doesn't kill you can make you strong
Now I know what it means
You can try to bend, but you ain't breaking my dreams
I'll be making mistakes, coming up at a loss
I'll be tumbling down, but like M.C., shake it off
I'll stay cool 'cause I know who's boss
Of me, myself and I
And I promise myself
I ain't nobody's, I just wanna be free
And I promise myself
Even though it don't always come easy
Gonna learn from my pain, never explain
Do it my way, that's what I say
Promise myself
I'm the only one who will believe me
I'll keep moving, even when the beat is gone
I will, I'm on, I want
I'll keep doing what I got to do to carry on
And on, I will, I'm on
So don't hold me down 'cause I'm gonna fly
And the time has come and I gotta say goodbye
To the life that you see me in
Here's where I begin
And I promise myself
I ain't nobody's, I just wanna be free
And I promise myself
Even though it don't always come easy
Gonna learn from my pain, never explain
Do it my way, that's what I say
Promise myself
I'm the only one who will believe me
And I promise myself
I ain't nobody's, I just wanna be free
And I promise myself
Even though it don't always come easy
Gonna learn from my pain, never explain
Do it my way, that's what I say
Promise myself
I'm the only one who can complete me
