No Matter What They Say

They can't judge me
They don't know me
I won't budge see
I walk my own streets (trust me)
I've been lonely
Eeyes wide shut

No matter what they say
I'm writing my own tale
I'm fighting my own way
And I will survive
No matter what they say
I've chosen my own way
To tell you my story
I know I'll survive
No matter what they say

My way or no way
Nonbelievers ok
I'm a showcase
How I made it through the cold days

Heard them say, Addis
Mediocre, average
Dead and gone, down and out
Cold-hearted bastard

Anti-social, don't take it personal
I don't fuck with anybody
Keep a tight circle
Same goals, same dreams, same values matter
Honesty, loyalty, see how it adds up

Knocked down, a million times
Prayed, on my knees
Darkest hour, g-o-d's power
Got me back on my feet

No matter what they say
I'm writing my own tale
I'm fighting my own way
And I will survive
No matter what they say
I've chosen my own way
To tell you my story
I know I'll survive
No matter what they say


All alone and I feel I'm on burnin ground
hold my hands, let me know it'll turn around
show me how to be strong I wanna stay alive
oh yes now I know I will survive

All my life I had a dream I'm runnin for
I see the sun come out I see the picture on my wall
I see the birds flying and the clear sky right
Over my head, over my head

Knocked down, a million times
Prayed, on my knees
Darkest hour, g-o-d's power
Got me back on my feet

No matter what they say
I'm writing my own tale
I'm fighting my own way
And I will survive
No matter what they say
I've chosen my own way
To tell you my story
I know I'll survive
No matter what they say

On the journey to success there's a lotta signs,
Want ya to stay in your lane, don't follow mines,
Please, can i get a lil' breather,
I used to cut class, but pass tests,
The teacher said I was a cheater, wowww,
Thought I was runnin' the streets, I was in libraries,
Writing bars, listen to songs, mariah carey,
When a hero comes along, with the strength to carry on,
Till I'm on top, with my team, poppin' perignon, yaaaa

They can't judge me
They don't know me
I won't budge see
I walk my own streets, (trust me)
I've been lonely
Eyes wide shut

No matter what they say
I'm writing my own tale
I'm fighting my own way
And i will survive
No matter what they say
I've chosen my own way
To tell you my story
I know i'll survive
No matter what they say
