lyrics

Fuck you and your limited beliefs
I won’t cater to the bullshit you believe
I won’t settle for lesser cause you’re feeling under pressure
It’s your problem don’t be making it about me

I’m on a path to be socially free
You can keep wearing the chains but that shit ain’t for me
I won’t be controlled by what I’ve been told
I’m gonna make my own way watch the story unfold

You followed all the steps, never made a wave
Were guaranteed success if you just did what they say
So you did but when you got to the end
You could feel something missing deep from within

You bought somebody else’s plan
Followed all their rules, obeyed all their commands
Now you’re feeling tricked and frustrated
But hey at least you’re normal, congratulations

It isn’t your fault
What were you supposed to do? That’s what you’re taught
But you don’t have to continue, living like that
You can make a change today and take your whole life back

You can, Buck the system but it won’t be easy
So many people bought in yes you’ll be mistreated
Ridicule, shame, loads of criticism
They don’t want you out of line get back in position

It’s all crabs in a bucket
If you reach for the top they’ll pull you back down from it
If you aim for the moon they’ll pray your rocket ship plummets
So your only real choice is to just say fuck it

Yeah, push your comfort zone
Challenge your beliefs are they even your own?
Go against the grain, break up the mold
Live your life on your terms, take the controls
