[Verse 1]
I'm doing nothing
Cause then at least I'm doing nothing wrong
And I'm gonna stay in on my own
And turn off my telephone
If nothing's gained, then nothing's won
[Pre-Chorus]
And you can tell 'em
Yeah you can say whatever, I don't care, yeah
And if you wanna play it cool
Then I got news for you
It's getting hotter, hotter in here
[Chorus]
So when I speak, listen, this is my decision
And you keep on messing up the words
So when I speak, listen, cause you keep on pushing
Like I need permission to be heard
I'm gonna lift it, lift it higher
I'm gonna lift it, lift it higher
So when I speak, listen, this is my decision
And you keep on messing up the words
[Verse 3]
I'm getting closer
I'm moving in and yeah I think you know
Cause I am sick of playing games
And I'm not gonna say no names
Both you and I know who to blame
[Pre-Chorus]
So you can tell 'em
Yeah you can go ahead and put it straight
Cause I am finishing myself
And I do not need your help
I'm gonna do this, do it right
[Chorus]
So when I speak, listen, this is my decision
And you keep on messing up the words
So when I speak, listen, cause you keep on pushing
Like I need permission to be heard
I'm gonna lift it, lift it higher
I'm gonna lift it, lift it higher
So when I speak, listen, this is my decision
And you keep on messing up the words
[Bridge]
I'm gonna lift it, lift it
When you go higher, I go higher
I'm gonna lift it, lift it
Yeah you can try but I'll go higher
I'm gonna lift it, lift it
The only thing boy all that you can do is listen, so listen!
I'm gonna lift it, lift it
[Chorus]
So when I speak, listen, this is my decision
And you keep on messing up the words
So when I speak, listen, cause you keep on pushing
Like I need permission to be heard
I'm gonna lift it, lift it higher
I'm gonna lift it, lift it higher
So when I speak, listen, this is my decision
And you keep on messing up the words
