What haters say about me don’t worry me
I keep it moving forward to what's ahead of me
You're gonna see I'm not gonna waste energy
Cuz I'm free and I'm a freak
All the people I love I try to keep
We get deep, keep it street, and we're never gonna stay asleep
Finally!
What haters say about me don’t worry me
I keep it movin' forward to what's ahead of me
You’re gonna see I'm gonna be and you're gonna remember me
I'm someone's shot of whiskey not everyone's tea
Cuz I’m free and I’m a freak
All the people I love I try to keep
We get deep, keep it street, and we’re never gonna stay asleep
Finally!
What haters say about me don’t worry me
I keep it moving forward to what’s ahead of me
You’re gonna see I’m gonna be and you’re gonna remember me
Underneath my trouble
I gon' find me the treble
And underneath my case
I gon' find me the bass, you get through
You get truth and that’s how it’s gonna be
Cuz I’m free I’m a freak
I can see what’s real and fantasy
What you believe? You gotta see
Life on the planet’s university
Underneath my trouble
I gon' find me the treble
And underneath my case
I gon' find me the bass, you get through
We got truth and that’s how it's gonna be
Finally... eeh ah
I'm free and I'm a freak
All the people I love I try to keep
We get deep, keep it street, and we’re never gonna stay asleep
Finally! What haters say about me don’t worry me
I keep it movin forward to what's ahead of me
You're gonna see I'm gonna be
And you’re gonna remember me
Now there's nothing in this life that’s guaranteed
That’s why we get high on reality
Memories and families
Work and money and stay happy
Finally!
Life on the planet’s university
You get stronger in adversity
What you mean it’s easy
Life’s just a bittersweet symphony
