Decent
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You wanna keep, wanna keep things like they are
I wanna be, wanna see and achieve my all
You don't like when people take too much
So I wanna take, I'm gonna take what I want
Don't push me down 'cause you're afraid to scarify your life
Why would I need your advice?
'Cause that 9 to 5 ain't type, won't spend my time on that
No, I won't do it
Tell me I should try when I feel like leaving
But I don't wanna keep something if it's decent, yeah
Tell me I should try, I don't see no reason, no
I would rather die than be stuck with decent
Say don't like my attitude at all
Honestly you could use some if you want (if you want, yeah)
'Cause I like confidence, yeah, it turns me on (turns me on, nah)
If you're gonna hate then don't give me a call
Don't push me down 'cause you're afraid to scarify your life
Why would I need your advice?
'Cause that 9 to 5 ain't type, won't spend my time on that
No, I won't do it
Tell me I should try when I feel like leaving
But I don't wanna keep something if it's decent, yeah
Tell me I should try, I don't see no reason, no
I would rather die than be stuck with decent
I would rather die
Than be stuck with decent, than be stuck with decent
Would die if I was stuck with decent, oh no
I think you're out of your mind
You don't realize that you tryna drag people down with you
You think I'm out of my mind
I don't see why
Guess we live a different life, oh no
Tell me I should try when I feel like leaving
But I don't wanna keep something if it's decent, yeah
Tell me I should try, I don't see no reason, no
I would rather die than be stuck with decent
I would rather die (I would rather die, I would rather die)
Than be stuck with decent, than be stuck with decent
Would die (I would rather die, I would rather die)
If I was stuck with decent, oh no
