Call me what you want, my self esteem is paid for
Finally understand what I was made for
People work their whole damn life & never get what they are paid for
Going through the motions just to make sure
That they're guaranteed a lifestyle in which the level that they're classified
I aint say it's wrong I think the concept is asinine
Believing in the potential inside my mind
Is the same reason I'm an outcast half the time

I live my life how I see it
Anything in my mind I can be it
You've had a hold on me for the last time
Cause nobody likes to be the bad guy

See old niggas still rapping their careers are needing closure
They tried to jerk you over and blame it on exposure
You can't get a raise because your office full of cobras
Or cause you aint let your supervisor bend you over
You deserve more but you don't want to be a loner
You follow suit cause they say you should wear them when you grown up
But don't believe me because I rhyme
See it in yourself and make this the last time

I live my life how I see it
Anything in my mind I can be it
You've had a hold on me for the last time
Cause nobody likes to be the bad guy

Nobody makes decisions like the villain
They judge the outcome and not the reasons for the killings of barriers in your mind
Your honor this was self defense
They told me I should play ball but I sat the bench
Society is like a trap & you won't help defend
Why not take this life & make it what I say it is
See everything you said I don't believe you
I'm changing the definition of evil
How does a story that just ended have a sequel
Why do all the laws benefit the wrong people
We're more imprisoned than the ones enjoying freedom
But you got me here for no particular reason
The systems like twitter but more hallow
Nobody shows you love if you don't follow
But once you remove the checkered flag from the race
You can begin to release the hold on your brain

I live my life how I see it
Anything in my mind I can be it
You've had a hold on me for the last time
Cause nobody likes to be the bad guy
