lyrics

{My Own Way}

{Chorus}

They said I could never do it, I would never stand up, I’d never survive it,
But I don’t care what they say, I’ma do it my own way.
And if these people can’t handle the way I do me,
I won’t have to answer; I’d finally be free,
They say I should do how they say, but I’ma do it my way.

{Verse 1}

Ice said it best - This is not a game
I want to be a man of value - This is not for fame
Recognition is my aim - The Art of Rap
I'm strapped with a mic getting ready to strike all night and it'll feel like you're under attack
Got a kick in my mind and I'm signed to music, I will take my passion and put it to the test
It's a sport Mother Fucker and you know I won't stutter - I'll climb the ladder cuz I'm aiming for the best
Never rest, nah - Connect the pieces to the puzzle
Working out my brain cuz the mind is like a muscle
And it'll keep on getting stronger, wiser till the day I die
Elevate to the top, don’t stop, never flop, better know that my limit is the sky
Bound to reach your heart cuz you know I'm sentimental
Or I can make you ride to this banging instrumental
Let me see you drop, drop, just drop to the floor
Feel the bass like Beethoven - Let it take you on a tour
In your mind, reminiscing and you'll find through this song
Inside the world of Hip-Hop's the only place that we belong

(Chorus)

{Verse 2}

I'm always coming up with different melodies
To block my mind from these memories

Check it; you’re bound to get a Liver Beat down - Cuz you’re drowning in my flow
Drunk from the shots and I’m pounding blocks with punchlines stocked and you should know
I got a feel, that I need to kill, on the mic and still, gotta keep it real
Steal the show cuz I'm 'bout to blow; got the illest flow; I will never kneel!
To these bitches causing real rappers to fix this game up with these stitches
Fake haters which is entertainers looking out for riches
Leave you dead in ditches - Switching all the fucking switches
Till I see all you Mother Fuckers twitching; itching like you're trapped inside my glitches
Gonna reach the pinnacle; cynical thoughts
Clinically insane; go to war and serve you with shots
Twisted in this rap game; you can call me a clot
Cuz I'm about to blow up till I roll over and rot!

(Chorus)

{Verse 3}

I always took pride to stay true
Put my differences aside, but then you

Let your jealousy dictate the person that I am supposed to be
Take the liberty to tarnish me while I'm coping through this misery
I'm going through a heart break and a death so I just cut off
And then you used it to your advantage to try and shut me off?
That’s just soft; starting rumours about my nature
But a real friend will align these lies and not define me through these gestures

{Bridge}

If you're not there - through my struggles - You won't be in my success
When I rise from the flame and they're screaming out my name
Claim the jungle and I'm banging on my chest
Never rest - You won't reach your goals in your bed
I had these dreams inside my head
And they said

(Chorus)

{Outro}

You can’t let anyone tell you what to do
Or how to do it
It doesn’t matter what they think
Man, sometimes you have to go your own way
