My Way

I'ma do it my way

My way, my way-ay-ay

I'ma do it my way

My way, my way, bae, yeah

I'ma do it my way

My way, my way, ay, yeah

And you might never like that, no

And you might never like that, no

(Yeah) I'ma do it my way

I tried to be a lot of things

Real wasn't one of them

Labels reaching out, told em listen'

I can't be one of them

My girl always sayin' she missin' me

I know spendin' time is always important

You 'bouta hit school, I'm bouta be tourin'

Our pillows still wet to the touch in the mornin'

No wonder it feels like I'm drownin'

The brightest days are not what they seem

Every day is sunny California; feels like it's pourin' to me

Pourin' my feelings, you're pourin' a drink

Tellin' me you never feel what I'm sayin'

Like things that I'm makin' just ain't gonna make it

Like kids don't want music that tells them they're breakin'

Like make it about all the pills they've been takin'

I don't believe in that, no

I don't believe in the hype—that no one got nowhere to go

I don't believe you can dig yourself out if you're diggin' a hole

Weighin' me down, all the fears that I hold

People I know always say where to go

But I never been want to just do what I'm told

Maybe I don't know what I need

Maybe I'm not really okay

I've been out here doin' just me

'Cause I'ma do it my way

My way, my way-ay-ay

I'ma do it my way

My way, my way, ay, yeah

I'ma do it my way

My way, my way, ay, yeah

And you might never like that, no

And you might never like that, no

I'ma do it my way

Some people told me I'd never fit in

But that's the point, man, don't you get it?

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
