[Intro]
Motherf**er, you don't own me
[Verse 1]
You can't please everyone so listen up and understand
I make music for me and for the people who love it
I don't need permission from you
And I damn sure ain't your f**ing puppet
All I hear is "Walk this way
And talk this way, do it just how I say"
I won't be criticized for the man I am
A word of advice: start your own band
[Chorus]
I say what I mean, I mean what I say
Like the words of a king
From the bottom on the grind to the top
You think I'm sorry, I'm not
I say what I mean, I mean what I say
Like the words of a king
From the bottom on the grind to the top
So if you're with me
I'll give you all I've got
[Verse 2]
Oh yeah, I see you looking at me
And I can see your mouth moving but I'm not listening
You ain't got nothing better to do
Than talk sh** about who's who from what you've seen on YouTube
All the sh** it took me to get here
You couldn't hang with me if you wanted to
I won't be criticized for the man I am
A word of advice: start your own band
[Bridge]
I'ma do what I want
And I'll do it the way I want
I'ma sing what I want
And I'll sing it the way I want
I'ma do what I want
And I'll do it the way I want
I don't need permission from you
Who the f** do you think you are?
[Chorus]
I say what I mean, I mean what I say
Like the words of a king
From the bottom on the grind to the top
You think I'm sorry, I'm not
I say what I mean, I mean what I say
Like the words of a king
So true fans put your hands up, stand up
And scream it with me
[Breakdown]
Motherf**er, you don't own me
And I don't owe you a god damn thing
[Chorus]
I say what I mean, I mean what I say
Like the words of a king
From the bottom on the grind to the top
You think I'm sorry, I'm not
I say what I mean, I mean what I say
Not the words of a king
From the bottom on the grind to the top
So if you're with me
I'll give you all I've got
